is secured in the downstairs bathroom. Geoffie's patience paid off and he caught the second one just a few minutes ago. He's back to patiently waiting to see if he can catch the third. Food is a mighty tool.
Hubby just went through a bought of anger at the world - ended it by screaming obscenities at the Braves and Die! MF at the lat player to strike out. He won't eat anything and he's exhausted. I don't know what triggered it - but finally it's subsided. Thank Goddess.
Work was a hoot today. I was given a project to manage and there were no processes in place to handle it. Instead of giving up, I wrote to the database engineers for assistance. They were of course able to assist and I took my questions on who would help us, right to the top! lol My supervisor was too confused to get involved. It was funny. I told him I was not interested in working circles and if he allowed me to, I'd have a process in place right after the Holiday. He's not so sure he wants to take responsibility for ME - I think lol but I am a doer. I don't believe in messing around and I won't wait for things to come back on me and bite me for not doing what I'm told to do. I was diplomatic, apologetic and sincere. I had top people working to get me what I needed, calling me to find out if we had a resolution, and the manager of developement holding my query at the end of the day. That leaves follow up on Monday - I think that's pretty good work for one afternoon. My supervisor has known me for 7 yrs. He knows my ethic and he has been throwing some of his escalations to me lately. I am very capable of doing other things, but the key for me is my work from home. As long as other things don't interfere, bring them on...
I did some good energy work last night and tonight as well. New moon is my favorite time.
Well, I'll let you know how things go with the third kitten. We have to get them moved out of here fast. We just can't keep them or let females stay here any more. We have our limit as much as we don't mind feeding the strays. Mama and babies have to go. Craig's list ads as soon we get them handle-able -
I have the hardest time sleeping these days. I doze off, get woke up, then can't go back to sleep. I lay there and think of growing old and not wanting to and wanting sex like I'll never get it again - so silly. But my mind just won't stop moving. Sleep aids just make me buzz and not sleep - I thought maybe a bit of rum would help - it's all I have left from Yule - somehow the thought of drinking to fall asleep is not appealing to me.
I had a bad hot flash yesterday first thing in the morning and threw up - such a good start to the day LOL I tried thinking of red and hot and embracing it and somehow I don't think that will be the key for me to make it through flashes.
Geoffie has spent all day watching the new babies to see if he could catch them in the cage with food. Now it's getting late and they are moving - OH!!! He caught one! lol
We got it all settled in the bathroom and Geoffie is on a vigil for another one. I'm tired. It's 10:15 and I think I'm gonna let him watch alone for a while. Our Jett is obviously acting the father whether he is or not. He got right in my face to try to get the baby back from me. He is guarding the cage to keep the others out. Mama is laying on the front porch...
Well the packet finally came from the middle school. We now know where to go and what they need. I was a bit stressed to find the big yellow "No one admitted without their shots" flyer when we signed a religious objection form years ago. I thought it was the school's responsibility to hang onto those, but it seems each school change can make you do it again. Well OK... I am doing it again. I object to shots because my son was given the make up health department cocktail round and all of a sudden got sick and within 2 yrs was dx'd with Asperger's - Autism. I can't prove it, but I believe it was triggered by the shots. I am not doing those shots. So I spent all afternoon revamping a form I can use and claim Religious exemptions - without getting overly religious to do it.
It has to be notarized and I think we can handle that at the bank.
Other than that, we are good. Kids have checked in, hubby is breathing and moving and acting human. Geoffie has spent all day trying to catch little wild kittens. He opened the hood on the car and was leaning into the engine and my heart skipped a beat... uhhh kids and boundaries. I didn't figure he'd even be able to open it so why would I caution him?
lol we are off to grab some dinner before the Braves game starts. Maybe they will win... one can put it out there, hey??? AND don't forget to write your abundance checks...
A week ago a sweet little female cat showed up outside to eat with the others we care for - she is so tiny, very young, and had breasts full of milk. I figured someone dumped her. Yesteday I picked her up and realized her little teats had wet rings around them. I mentioned to Shadowa she looked 'nursed'. A few minutes ago, we saw 3 young kittens, wild for sure... all black.
Just shit.
These people deliberately dump their cats and kittens out here. I hate for Shadow and Jett to get caught in a round up, but I just don't know what we are going to do. Now there are 6 black cats. Geoffrey will not handle me taking them to the pound. He thinks he is on a mission of mercy to try to catch them so we can tame them.
Hey loves, Shadowa is on the road to home. Whisper a prayer for safety? We had a very nice time. No pictures, my apologies, but she is a very nice lady!
