Chaotic Ramblings

Ever have trouble remembering all the words to those pesky Christmas carols? Especially the 12 Days of Christmas?

Watch some professionals at work....

*points to last line* My brain breaks there.....

As of 6:30 am this morning, I am pain free!

*looks at the stone* Damn thing's got points on it.

.... Because my computer's got a couple of viruses and other nasty things that are slowing it down immensely.

So, until I can get that taken care of, I'm not gonna be on line.

Hope everyone has a Happy Turkey Day!

It took a trip to Urgent Care last night to find out why it felt like I'd been punched in ther lower right back, was pukey, dizzy, and feeling like I had to pee but couldn't get anything out.

I've got a kidney stone I'm trying to pass.

So, I've got a perscription for an antibiotic (apparently I also have a slight kidney *infection*) and another for a Vicaden equivalent. I've also had to call off work today 'cause the symptoms hit hardest in the evening time, and I can't drive with them going on. At least not safely.

*shakes head* I just hope I pass it before Thursday 'cause they're gonna *need* me Friday at work.

Last night, our kitten Kefka, died.

We don't know from what or how, but when I walked into the bathroom this morning, where he had been "banished" with a tub of towels and blankets, a litter box, and a bowlof water for pissing in the corner of the bedroom, he was unmoving.

He's going to be buried in our back yard today at lunch when Andy comes home.

EDIT: Kefka was buried today after I took a small moulding of his pawprints. I've ordered a Felix Supreme red peony to plant over hiim.

I love my life... really I do..

As a birthday present for penguincent and a Halloween treat for everyone else, I present a Trinity Blood story. The overall rating is PG-13.

*grins* Thanks to mum and dad giving me an "I Love You/Birthday/Christmas/Just Because" present, I was able to pick up a used PSP and Dissidia along with a 4g memory card.

I know I promised myself that I wouldn't pick up the PSP without at least 10 games I wanted to play on it, but it was there, the game was there, and my mom wanted me to spend the present on me not bills. Her orders.

Of course, if I had been willing to spend the money, I could have gotten a new PSP with both Dissidia and Advent Children on it, but I didn't think I needed a second copy of Advent CHildren.

Not unless the PSP can play Blu Rays.....

Okay for all who come over to the house, have been over to the house, and have been in contact with the kittens, you might wanna just check yourselves and your pets out 'cause the kids have ringworm. They're going on a pill treatment (ain't that gonna be a hoot) and it's unknown where or how they got this, but we're speculating that they might have had it when we adopted them and it's just now strong enough to show up.

Just passing the word along.

Yes, after quite a while, another update.....

It's a Sephiroth-kitty helping Hubby with his Champions On Line character creation....

Picture heavy FYI....

( Warning: Excessive cuteness )

We got adopted them from Meowza, a cat "boutique" at the Dayton Mall that is associated with the Humane Society because the Humane Society was closed yesterday (it was the same as if we were getting them from the Society itself). They did pick us and have had fun romping around the house. Sephiroth was the more adventurous of the two, heading upstairs while Kefka hid out for a bit. But when friends came over to Game last night, Kefka was flying around like a wild cat. He had to go into the bathroom twice to settle down some. It was after he used a friend's back as a ladder and dug in with claws that I trimmed the points off of both of them. I was planning on doing it after everyone left, but that stunt made me move it up some.

They both love my broomskirts, curling up in them when I'm sitting down, and Kefka loves my feet and calfs for some reason. He'll pat his paws up my calves tickling or roll around on my feet.

Yes, they are adorable.

WARNING: RANTING AHEAD!


Okay, I've got these bookcases that my dad made back in the '70s when he was in the Navy. They're big, but break down easily and all the weight is against the wall once they're up and books are on them.

I inherited these bookcases when I moved in with Hubby (who was fiance at the time). We put them together, loaded them with books and pretty much forgot about them until we needed said book. When we bought a house, we broke them down, hauled them over, and my dad managed to get three of the four back up. They're constructed in two side panels and one back, with each side panel interchangable with each other, thus allowing two back panels and three uprights for two bookcases. Well the Library area isn't big enough to allow all four back panels put up right next to each other so there's a double bookcase on one wall and a single on the next at a corner to the double.

I managed to get the shelves replaced in the first bookcase and almost all of the mass market paperbacks up. Then I found out we didn't have enough shelves to fit the second bookcase. When I went to do the single bookcase, I found out that the metal strip along the upright (which allows the shelf supports to be adjusted) wasn't there. It was the only one with only a single metal strip. My dad came over this weekend to drop some things off and he switched the upright around for us.

I just went down to start loading up the single bookcase with books and discovered that when I put a shelf on, there's about a half in all around it that's not touching the bookcase at all. How the HELL did the shelves shrink during transit? They're the only shelves we have left and they're almost too damn small!

*huffs* This is just rediculous!

*bows* Thank you all for putting up with my rant.....

Does anyone know where I can get the soundtracks for the original He-man and She-ra series? *grins* I'm having a rather nostalgic day and find myself wanting to listen to them.

We got everything moved last week, thanks to one last push by my parents, Josh and Patrick, two vans and a Scion XB (old style). My dad got the one set of bookcases up and now they're just waiting for the shelves. Hubby and I went out to Big Lots and picked up two five shelf bookcases that went up in the Gaming Room for more of his gaming books. We also have a couch, a loveseat, and a table big enough for eight people to sit around it. This table and accompanying chairs are up in the Gaming Room.

Patrick helped to greatly reduce the ivy in the back yard on Friday as well as helped clean the apartment more.

Last Wednesday, we bought a Kenmore washer and dryer which was delivered on Saturday.

But when the gents delivered it, it was discovered that the toilet in the downstairs bathroom/laundry room had backed up and overflowed. I confess, I panicked and was in a right state since I could also hear water dripping down in the cellar/basement. The gents got the washer and dryer hooked up, we called Rotor Rooter, and within a half hour, there was a plumber there wanting to know where the problem was. That helped my peace of mind greatly. It turned out that there was a clog in the pipe itself which was putting strain on said pipe and letting a trickle of water out of the seam. He cleared that out, and Hubby cleaned and Lysol'ed the floor. Later, my brother came over to change out the plug for the dryer because apparently we had a stove plug in the outlet instead of a dryer plug.

But things are slowly coming together. One reason I haven't been interested in porn_battle. Moving apparently makes your muses hide for fear of being lost in transition. I have been trying to poke at various stories and such, but one has completely taken over, and it's strange and dark and I really need to start typing it up.

The internet access is going to be a bit flaky for the next 36 hours since it's getting switched from one residence to the other. Of course, that's if the guy shows up like he's suppose to at the right time and place (I'm not gonna hold my breath).

Apparently it's a dull day at PETA

If you haven't read this article, it's an..... interesting look at PETA.

Makes ya wonder what they thought of Palin's Thanksgiving interview with the Turkey Guy in the background....
