Ow. My finger hurts. Apparently biting my finger is the correct response to getting a pill shoved down your throat- actually, I guess I can't even get mad- that IS the correct response.
Today I ran around like crazy dealing with cats. They have the dreaded F word. Fleas. I currently have 7 cats in my house. Call me what you want- Good Samaritan? Cat Lady? Doesn't matter because I have 4 snuggly kittens in my kitchen! And their Mama. But, alas, with strays comes fleas. And that means fleas on my own two cats. I tried a tri-attack- oral tablets, flea bomb, and a thorough combing. I'll let you know how that worked out. The oral tablets is when my finger took the hit. One of the kittens was not okay with swallowing a pill. But after multiple attempts and a mauled finger- we got it down.
While I was banned from my house I ran around town a bit- at 5:30 in the morning. Hmmm.. fortunately Walmart is always open! It may seem strange why I voluntarily woke up super early to kick myself out of my house. But one thing I know about the South is that it gets hot, and it gets hot fast. So to keep everyone comfortable I chose the wee hours of the morning- nice and cool for the car-ful of fur. No heat stroke for this FurMama!
I did manage to get a delicious breakfast at New Moon Cafe. Second time this week I've eaten there! I did my best to get a Paleo meal by ordering the egg scrambler with spinach, tomatoes, onions, spinach and sausage. It was delicious! A little too delicious, if you know what I mean. I don't know how they cooked those veggies- and I'm not asking! I also got their Unsweetened Ice Tea (the South must think I'm crazy), unlimited refills!
After breakfast I decided that the cats needed a bit of spoiling. They were not happy with the day's events and I thought some new toys could brighten their day (and mine). Not to mention it may help bridge the ever widening gap between the Man and Mr. Stanley Cakes Solomon (aka- my male cat). Some play time and treat time should do them a world of good!
After all the cat shenanigans I had to shower quick- then hop out the door to go be a Teacher's Aide. One of the great thing of job hunting while being unemployed is that you have a bunch of time to do stuff you wouldn't normally get to do if you were at work! Like help out your teacher friend by grading papers and try to keep a straight face with a class full of adorable second graders. Seriously, these kids were so cute! Miss J is such a great teacher, she made it look so easy. Here's a secret: I'm terrified of the thought of being a substitute teacher. Miss J thought if I came in to check it out a little bit I might see that its not all that bad. Well, I'm going back next week so she may be on to something!
I finally made it to Goodwill! My friend Z along with Miss Refashionista have taught me to love Goodwill. So many good deals! You never know what you're going to find! Alas, today was not a successful hunt, but that's okay. I still have several items that I need to re-fashion myself- I really shouldn't add to my pile.
For dinner tonight the Man is having baked KFC Chicken and mashed potatoes. Me? Well, I'm probably going to make a snack plate- some apple, celery, a little almond butter, hard boiled egg? Mmmm, that'll do me good! I'm such a fan of snack plates- and I'm such a grazer! I saw someone's blog where they use kid's divided plates for their snack plate- I think I'm going to have to hit up Dollar Tree to find one for myself!
Well that was my crazy day- its not done yet but its close enough.
