I'll add to the pet problems. Our big cat woke me up at 5:30. Can he just wait another 30 minutes?
When I left for work this morning there was a truck in the middle of the road 3 houses away from ours so I had to wait 10 minutes to pull out of my driveway then sit in the backed up traffic.
I got to work and my coworker has done nothing but complain about everyone else. Um yes when you say things about people it usually gets back to said person.
If it weren't so cold I would reward myself with a trip to target at lunch for making it this far into the day.
MH woke up at 1am to throw up. He's rarely sick, but he was up on and off all night to puke. MH is such a loud puker that I'm sure everyone in a 3 block radius heard him.
When he came back to bed, he would whimper everytime he moved. Then he'd apologize. Then he'd turn over and whimper some more. Then more apologies. STOP TALKING TO ME WHILE I'M TRYING TO SLEEP. So needless to say, I got zero sleep last night and I'm dead tired. I'm not mad that he's sick, it happens. I just wish I could have gotten some sleep.
Oh my god, you can sleep through puking? If my husband gets up to puke in the middle of the night, I'll be awake the whole night wondering "okay, when am I going to start puking??"
I'm not good with puking. Or being near puking. Or really anything to do with it.
Once, my husband drank too much and told me he was going to be sick. I grabbed my shoes, keys, and coat and went to my sister's for the night.
I haven't had running water since Saturday because of all the main breaks from the cold. Fuckity fuck. Although I live in WV where we had the do-not-use water crisis from a chemical leak last year, so I've become fairly adept at the watering can shower. But still - I feel gross today. And last night I went to an Oscar party charity function - nothing says classy like a sponge bath and then putting on a cocktail dress.
our pipes all froze at school today and so the school is shut down
my bitch is on behalf of the teachers who have over an hour commute. admin knew of the problem at 7:10 and didn't start calling people until 8:55. the teachers had to drive in and turn around, some kids got dropped off and we had to call everyone's parents. it was a bit of a mess.
I saw previews that hinted at that and I will not be watching. One more reason to not like Keanu Reeves.
Somehow I missed those hints. It was a good movie otherwise, and it wasn't Keanu Reeves' character who was responsible for it. Actually, the rest of the movie is Keanu's character getting revenge for it happening.
I can usually handle them trying to kill each other when we first climb into bed, but this was one cat who sounded like two trying to kill each other. If we could actually lock them out of the bedroom and sleep, we would. One of our cats learned from MIL's cat to beat on the door until someone opens it (kind of like a dog signaling to go out) and does it for any door he wants to go through. For that matter, I probably would have slept through playtime if H hadn't woken me up for the stupid alarm.
Are you sure the kitten isn't trying to play? Play at our house sounds like they're trying to kill each other. My mom's cat had to put Muon in his place when he was a baby. After a few well-placed pops to the nose, he finally figured out that she was in charge. I would just throw the two out of the bedroom and let them fight it out.
Probably using that term a little too loosely, they just sound like it sometimes. The kitten is definitely playing but the older cat wants nothing to do with her playing sometimes. He's really the only noisy one. There are times during the day when they bat at each other and are just playing around, but sometimes I think the kitten takes it too far and our older cat just isn't having it. I think it gets worse when we go to bed because we aren't immediately there to put an end to it. She has gotten bopped on the nose for that a few times and she'll usually leave him be when we are right there. Snapping your fingers at the two of them will usually get her to stop from pouncing on him.
I am also trying to keep the aggression to a minimum at this moment because her incision is still healing from getting spayed. I don't really need them kicking each other in the stomach at the moment. It had started to dehisce and is now finally closing up properly.
She meowed at the door for maybe ten minutes and then took full advantage of her free roam of the house and all the cats toys. We found her asleep on the dog bed this morning. So I don't think she suffered too much, lol. Right now they are sitting on top of the couch together in a sunny spot and she is playing with his tail, friendly as can be.
I remembered that she was new, but forgot that she had recently been spayed. When I said fight it out, I meant that they need to figure out who's in charge because you're not always going to be around to keep the peace.

ghostmonkey, sorry you're feeling like crap! I hope that when you do decide to head home, that you're able to get rest.
teraiin, I hope you are able to figure out the issue with your Lab and get more sleep!
As for me, I'm in the middle or the tail end of a cold. I have spent the entire Fall and winter utterly smug with the fact I didn't get a cold. In fact, I was thinking that the other day when BAM! I get a cold. Thanks life, for slapping the stupid out of me. lol
I'm bored out of my mind and so sick of not having a job to go to. I'm going through an agency to help me find a job and so far no luck. I wish something would come up already! I'm losing the rest of my marbles just sitting here.
My bitch: I do not want to do my taxes today. I love my job, but hate being an independent contractor. I just want to work, not prepare my docs for taxes. *sigh*
Met 06/27/2004. Fell in love 09/30/2005. Adopted our pups 7/08 & 2/10. Bought a house 12/29/10. Married 10/8/11. TTC Baby #1 December 2014. BFP 4/16/2015 EDD 12/25/2015 DD Born 12/28/2015
For two nights now my cats have decided that the time to play is quite literally as soon as we get into bed. They have been running around and being nuts. What is worst is that the kitten has taken to attacking the older cat and then they end up fighting, which is seriously annoying to me. They are friendly with each other all day and then decide they need to fight to the death once everyone goes to bed. Needless to say, the kitten got locked out of the bedroom last night.

Our cats get banished to the basement every night. It seems mean but if we don't lock them up they either fight on our bed all night or walk around the house meowing because they want to play or eat. So every night they get herded into the basement. One of them still bangs on the door around 4am but for the most part I can ignore it.

kasaundrar, I would be sooooo pissed about the purchase and not being told. Sorry about the cramps!
tromeo Good luck on taxes! I hate taxes too. I like getting them down ASAP, but my husband is a major procrastinator and files literally the day before the deadline and I hate it since we file jointly.
My bitch: Cats and smoke detectors. The battery in one of our many smoke detectors went off at 3:30 this morning. It took us forever to find it, and it happened to be in one of the upstairs bedrooms. I had to get on the 8 foot ladder to get to it because H wasn't tall enough. I almost told him we were sleeping through it. Why do they always start chirping in the middle of the night?
Since we had all the lights on in the house trying to find the stupid alarm, the cats thought it was time to be up. Layla hunted and played for the next 3 hours or so. I just wanted to sleep. I love my cats and I love it when they play and realize that it is natural behavior, but I like my sleep.
Ugg every creaking time, it's at night!! I feel your pain. We have like 10 in our house and so far 4 have woken us up in the middle of the night.

My bitch is...my fucking back. Again. Why is it when I try to be so careful with exercise that it STILL gets angry. Grrr. I'm trying to HELP you back? Now I can barely sleep and I sure as hell can't exercise now. This is BS!

My boobs are hurting so much this cycle since ovulation I can't believe that it might actually prevent me from exercising. I also found a lump underneath one of them and my nips are discharging so I'm freaking the fuck out right now. I got an apt. tomorrow to have it looked at. I also found a lump on the same side on my abdomen but it hurts so that might be just a strain. I really hope it's all nothing and that I'm getting worried over nothing. I get anxiety attacks quite often and this isn't helping.
I've been an emotional mess the last week or so. I just want to feel better and be well. I haven't told my husband yet about the lump I found this morning. I'm trying to get it ruled out first. He knows about my crying over every little thing though. I told him I can't help the hormones. My boss jacked up the coffee machine this morning. She didn't put the pot underneath all the way and it leaked coffee and grounds all over the back of my workstation. I ended up having to clean it up because she had a meeting first thing this morning she can't be late for. To add to this, when I got back from cleaning the coffee machine out, one of the nurses, who is a kid that you can't take serious most of the time, tells me that my boss wanted me to deliver her coffee to her meeting. I don't know if she was serious, but I draw the line of being anyone's coffee bitch. If you want coffee that bad you can make the trek across their building and get your own coffee. I'm not going to clean your mess and fetch your coffee. She ended up coming back and getting her own and thanking me for cleaning up the mess, and apologizing for making the mess. Nothing was mentioned about me not delivering her coffee.
I guess I had lots to bitch about today so early this morning. I kinda feel like it's a dear diary entry. Sorry for the long post(snicker).

Our plan for this week is go and test every battery. If it is low, we're replacing it. We have other uses for them, so we aren't just going to throw away a perfectly useable battery. I just want to sleep. They're all a year old, so they probably need to be replaced anyway.

When was your house built/when was the last time you had the electric upgraded? The new building code laws require a ridiculous amount of smoke detectors. There has to be 1 in each bedroom, 1 in the hallway outside each bedroom, one in the kitchen, one in the room adjacent to the kitchen, and one in the room with the furnace.

We have 3 floors, and code requires one in each bedroom...maybe I was off by 1, but it was a ton. We just bought it last year, so we had to install them all before it closed.

There should be one in each bedroom and one outside sleeping areas as well as one on each floor. I think we have like 8 and they're all wired together to meet code.

It's always my goal to get them done by the end of Jan. This year has been an INSANELY busy start of the season to me. I'm in real estate and it's the middle of winter in upstate NY. I "shouldn't" be this busy this time of year, so it's throwing my timeline way off on terms of what I can get done when.

And a minimum of one on each floor.
Our house is 1600 sqft and we have 8.
Huh. I didn't know that. It's an old house (100 years old) and all our smoke detectors are just the battery operated kind. Actually I think every house I ever lived in only had 3. The more you know!
Today is one of those days that I regret joining our HOA Board.
I have to leave work at 2:30 today to go sort through boxes and boxes of moldy old documents to determine what needs to be kept and what can be thrown out. My suggestion that we just take a big scanner down there with us and scan the documents then go through them electronically was soundly rejected because apparently I'm the only one who knows how to use a scanner...
So I should be done with that around 4pm, which gives me enough time to come home, walk the dogs and eat dinner before leaving for another meeting, this time with the Finance Committee.
... Maybe my bitch is actually at myself for volunteering for so many things. Hmph.
