I can’t remember the last time I had a good night’s sleep. Lately, it just seems so much worse. I feel so agonizingly tired all the time and my fibromyalgia had been getting better but now it’s back with a vengeance. I know what the doctors said — no rest, no ease of pain. I just feel like everything hurts, even my eyeballs.
This morning I finally accepted the truth.
Aloof is a lot to blame for my lack of sleep and something has

Well, it appears that I’ve got signs of at least one unwanted house critter — though you know if there’s one, there’s more.
The clues:
- Some thing’s definitely been imbibing in the bird seed I’ve got stored in the basement and it’s not the birdies I bought it for, which makes me very grumpy.
- Needy and Pugly have both been interested in some thing beneath the stove.
- Pugly has been barking at the wall between the kitchen and the living room for no apparent reason. (There goes my theory that he’s gone insane.)
- Two nights ago, Needy was very interested in the skittering of

You know what I was wondering the other day? How come you always hear about Ben Afleck’s girl friends/ fiances/ etc, but you never hear about Matt Damon’s?
I mean, they’re in almost every movie the other has made, even in tiny roles. They grew up together. It’s plain odd that we always hear about Ben’s women and never Matt’s escpecially since it’s clear that he’s the one that’s more attractive and more talented.
I’m just saying. Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday was the day my cats go to the vet for their annual check up and shots. They’re indoor cats so they never leave the house except to go to the vet or to move. So…so far, I think their experiences leaving the house probably haven’t been all that spectacular.
By the time we got to the vet, poor Needy had completely peed all over himself and his carrier. As the vet said, “How embarrassing.” Overall though, Needy was fairly tame getting his check up and his shot once he got cleaned up despite having spent the entire trip to the

I don’t know what’s wrong with my cats. I swear!
Out of desperation last night I opened a can of chicken, drained it a little and put it on a plate. I mean, they were on day four of not eating and I couldn’t take it anymore. If they wouldn’t eat the raw food I was trying to feed them, maybe they’d at least eat some canned meat. (I refused to give them that grocery store kibble with it’s disease-ridden meat-part bits and who knows what else!)
At first, things looked good. The two of them

No, I’m not talking about Saddam Hussein. I’m talking about my cats.
As of Saturday morning, Pugly, Needy and Aloof are no longer being fed store-bought pet food. I bought them fresh ground turkey and all of the other ingredients necessary, followed one recipe for dogs and one recipe for cats each from Dr. Pitcairn’s New Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats, and proudly set the bowls down.
Pugly,

I totally got freaked out during the “nutrition” lecture during obedience class last. I was so sure I was doing so well buy buying Pugly Beneful because it claims to be made with things like “real chicken” and it’s advertising promises to be balanced nutrition.
Heck their website says:
Beneful® serves up a whole variety of superb formulas for the perfect balance of healthful ingredients, quality nutrition, and great taste. For your best friend, that means pure contentment.
And that cute guy in the commercial says it’s good for the dog. OK I didn’t buy it because of the cute guy.

It’s just so rare when I catch Aloof in a moment of quiet intraspection where he’s not napping where he’ll let me take his picture without running off and this was such an awesome Kodak-type moment, I couldn’t believe I had my camera and the opportunity.
Don’t forget to stop by today’s Friday Ark!

I’m trying out this thing where people blog their pets on Friday…
So, here is Needy. He wouldn’t share my blanket…
And here’s Aloof supervising my work in the kitchen.

- I tried to explain to a lesbian friend why women like the Baldwin brothers, but since they aren’t my type, she just looked at me like I was nuts.
- PW’s beaux is arriving in New Orleans in time for them to evacuate for the hurricane.
- El is worried that the hurricane will interfere with our Thursday flights to Atlanta as the weather system might be there by then.
- I think I heard on the news that there were two more incidents with planes last night.
- Maybe I’ll take the valium to get on the plane after all this time rather than do what the

I totally want this for my bathroom.
My cats would love it or hate it — I’m not sure. As it is they already are fascinated with the faucet. Can you imagine trying to catch the fish?
I wonder how they clean the tank.

I’ve been told that sometimes I’m too negative. So today’s discombobulated thoughts will try to focus on happy things…
- Discovery landed safe and sound. The child inside me who wanted to be an astronaut is quite relieved. I didn’t want to say anything before in case I jinxed it.
- My headache/migraine appears to have gone away for the moment.
- I bought ice cream on Sunday and haven’t had a bite.
- I feel better now that I’ve made a to do list.
- I love my iPod mini.
- I spent 2 hours sorting and packing up clothes. My closet is 2/3rds done…though I

So yesterday I took the afternoon to take Needy to the Vet since he’s taken a dislike to his litterbox. The two possibilities are generally a UTI or a behavioral problem. I figured it is the latter but I don’t want to risk him being sick. So $37 later, I’m told he’s probably got a behavioral problem. I felt kind of robbed — like Duh!. However, he has to go back next week so they can try to get a urine sample.
In the meantime, I’ve been instructed to buy 2 more litter boxes — one

I’m having one of those blue days, I guess. I woke up with one of those morning migraines, which is still nagging at me. My cat had thrown up all over my bathroom counter. My pants are too tight. The news is depressing me and quite frankly I didn’t want to go to work today. I certainly dont’ want to take the cat to the vet.
I feel like I’m on the verge of tears and for no particular reason or perhaps for every reason. Reading/Listening to the news is certainly no help. It
