She puked three times today – fearing pancreatitis she is now not getting fed and is looking at me like I’m a murderer. I don’t know what made her puke, but she did it day before yesterday too. I thought it was because she had licked paint thinner. Good grief – she always seems to be a walking manifestation of my life out of control.
Robinson came over today and programmed my doorbell – when you ring it downstairs in the mainhouse it plays “Who shot the LaLa” – upstairs elephants trumpet in my office. Pretty cool.
My gas grill is in my second bedroom because the room is truly just an expensive storage area. Rusty found a place between it and the corner where he could hide for the first 24 hours. Now he is directly under it having stretched out a little. He let me pet him and he has been eating. But I can’t tell if he has used the litter box (doesn’t look like it) so don’t know…
My team of carpenters – Javier and Arturo – arrived today. They just got the lowdown and then left. But J calls me later and wants to know exactly how they are getting paid and wants to make sure I understand how much he makes and that it is double because they are two and he says he’d like me to show up in the morning to discuss this again. Oh boy, I say to…
Joe called – he had left a few messages while I was in St Maarten – wondering why he hasn’t heard from me – uh my grass isn’t growing cuz it’s winter, was the message I thought about leaving him. But then his last message was he just wanted me to call to say hi and could I just holler back. So I called back and said, hey I ain’t no holler back girl, ain’t…
I took my mom to the doctor today. She fell last week walking up concrete stairs and has been in pain. Helping her into Blue, where I almost had to heave her up since it’s so high, then watching her try to get her seat belt on was a little unnerving. When we got to the doctor’s parking lot, she did, surprisingly, what old people do – she began to tell me the directions into…
So we go to Swirl and walk in and the usual crowd is there but more and you know, we are both in a heightened mood and ready to be out and about – and Moosey is fun and said he had had a great day too, and he has the hottest sidekicks going (I might add) and we hang out and G & I end up going to Rooster’s on Carrollton – that whole…
Here are all my reasons to celebrate: 1. Rusty moved in today. 2. Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical Permits today. 3. Ken gone – fired – not there today. 4. YAHOO!!!! – need I say anything – six months of torture on my biggest positive call last year and finally the *Come to Jesus* happened today on their earnings call – YAHOO! 5. Mom lent me money to squeak to the finish line. 6. G doesn’t…
Today the LaLa got inspected for mechanical, electrical and plumbing. And then I wrote checks galore. Looks like tomorrow I get to go officially on the grid with gas and electric. As soon as the gas is on – I’m taking my bubble bath over to the LaLa and soaking in the tub till I prune!
Mr. Rusty came home with me today after first visiting the vet – the doc was impressed by his size and his sweetness despite being prodded and injected and having a thermometer put up his butt (most likely the first time he’s experienced that!). Poor thing was terrified when I picked him up and he behaved so well for a cat not used to domesticity – he’s bright orange with big orange eyes! A pumpkin!!
