I feel like such a bitch

[cornerofmadness]

Well I've been one all day. I forgot to eat and my sugar shot up well over 300. There is no controlling the mental changes that causes. It's like sitting outside of your brain while the bitch from hell runs your mouth. I had to take a ton of insulin but it's finally back under 200. I feel like I'm run down and weak now.

I waited and waited on Fedex. And in spite of them telling me on sat that it was direct signature and I had to be here, today they told me it was NOT. I had to go to work in the morning because grades were due. But I was here all afternoon, waiting and waiting. Finally called them and it was delievered to my front office.

me- there IS no front office

Fedex - that's what the driver said

Me - THERE. IS. NO. FRONT. OFFICE.

Fedex - landlord?

Me - who signed for it.

Fedex - C.Hollingshead

ME- THAT IS NOT MY LANDLORD. Insert huge amounts of swearing at them.

So 8 pm i'm roaming around outside looking for my neighbors who are where they usually are, outside. No one knows anyone with that last name but one of them thinks it might be the couple in the other end of the three apts in my building. They text her. It was her and she just apparently leaves the door open so they went in and gave it to me.

In the process of this, I did find out Ginko the one eyed kitty has no one who wants them but they don't want him dropped at a barn. I'll call my vet. Ginko LUVS me. In all caps. I also got to meet my very newest neighbors who share a wall with me, ayoung couple with a two year old who is on my porch offering to help me water things and he fixed one of my statues who has a wing that falls off a lot. Then there's Otis the mostly golden lab with a blue chow tongue who is made of love. THen the mom said you need to meet Oscar. She goes in and drags out Kanda.

I kid you not. He's taller and heavier because he's older but his markings are almost identical. Oscar and Kanda could be father and son. They seem like a nice enough couple. Here's hoping.

And for the first time ever in my writers group I'm actually looking at a story that i have no idea what is going on.

A dog, a cat and a two year old? Wheeeeee. Maybe their cat will get the mice in that room?

Amazing that they dropped it off with the "landlord."

amazing.

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

YEAH! What she said! Maybe that older bigger cat will scare the eternal daylights out of the mice and they will screaming in terror into the night.

As for being a bitch today. *nodding* Been there too. Got into it with my older sister, who is a pacifist and wouldn't defend herself even if her life depended on it. She's angry that I defied the man who raised his fist in threat to me...and I flat told her NO MAN, and for that matter anyone else, physically threatens me and gets away with it. "But a lady doesn't fight." "Yeah well THIS lady does." I love my older sister to pieces, don't get me wrong, but GEESH! you'd think she had learned something from when her first husband damn near beat her to death!

haven't seen a mouse in a week. is crossing fingers

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Here's to neighbors moving in with a big adult cat!!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

here's hoping. Gage seems like a pretty good kid, active as you'd imagine.

yeah what he do? knock on doors until someone opened up???

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Gage? Like Johnny? :D

Either that or went to the first door - was it the first door?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha maybe

it was the first door

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Probably explains it. FedEx took two or three times to find us at the office even though I gave them explicit instructions on how to get to us.

"Go in the building marked 120. Go upstairs. There's only one staircase. My office is at the very top of the stairs."

Nope.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

for making 75K+ they are some dumb lazy bastards

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

We had to drive 15 miles one way to get to the local hq because they had no idea how to find us.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

there's no excuse for that kind of incompetent boobery. i could have found your place by the second time we drove by it

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yup. It's easy to find.

[sp23.livejournal.com]

So FedEx just finds someone in the vicinity and gives them your package? The fuck?!!!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I KNOW

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

That is so ASS. I knew I like UPS for some reason.

And that's kinda freaky, but alas, kitties.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

My ranking went DHL (too bad they sank their own ship) UPS then FedEx...


My kitty is being a love bucket today

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

Never used DHL; never had any problems with FedEx either, but I don't want to jinx myself haha.

Mine is sunning herself on the kitchen floor where the deck door is, sprawled out on her back and dead to the world. Waking her up with obnoxious means is tempting me, but I really don't want to get mauled.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahah being a former feral, startling Kanda never ends well. Of course he scared me by leaping on me today in the middle of my meditation

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

hahaha if you startle Logan she just runs away and hides for a few minutes, then comes back out and acts as if nothing happened. and she loves to interrupt, whether it's jumping on my keyboard or sitting in front of my screen or jumping on my face while I'm asleep; she's lucky she's so cute and also warm to have in bed during cold months.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Kanda apparently drank a red bull this morning. he is everywhere at once

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

Pfffffffffft Logan's like that some days for no apparent reason, either that or she squishes up in the corner beneath my bedroom window and you don't see her around till nearly midnight or something.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

under the futon or in a closet for him

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

I WISH I HAD A FUTON *jealous*

But I'm going to college in 13 days and so will not be so fortunate. *sigh*

Sometimes she sneaks in my closet if I accidentally leave the door propped open a bit, then she nibbles at my shirts or sleeps for hours and we forget if we let her out or if she is in fact hiding.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

good luck with the start of school. we start tomororw.

it's my brother's old futon held together by duct tape.

luckily Kanda doesn't bugger anything if he goes in teh closets which are often open

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

Thank you muches, it's going to be interesting because my parents are in Maryland now and I'll still be in New Jersey, while the rest of my family all live in the north-western tip of PA; friends of mine are offering to take me in during breaks because my parents don't want me down where they are all break, I'll get so bored hahaha

Ahh duct tape, universal fix-it as my dad likes to think.

Logan attacked this giant (as in 3 feet long) Nemo plushie I got from God-knows-where one time, it was amusing and then she decided afterwards that she was going to then sleep all over it hahaha

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes that could make life interesting but i'm glad you're getting to live on campus. i think that's a more rich experience. What is your major, do you know?

Kanda was attacking ihs shadows this morning

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

I'm glad too, I don't want to live at home anymore haha. My major is the Russian language with a minor in pre-law, I want to work for the government like my dad does (except he's an engineer at naval headquarters), doing something like translation or work at a law firm or something since I'd like to go to law school if I can get in.

Logan will chase her tail if she's really bored, no lie. I don't understand her sometimes haha.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i don't think anyone has every told me that one before (though I have had friends specializing in Russian history)

that sounds like a very cool major. good luck with that

Kanda is a major tail chaser. then he cries when he bites it

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

Haha, it was a very interesting change, considering that from the age of about 5 to my junior year in hs I wanted to be a veterinarian; then I took ap chemistry and found out that I was extreme amounts of epic fail at it, so it was time for a new career option. :D

Thanks! I can't wait to start!

Ah yes, the perpetual plea of "mom I'm hurt pay attention to me and give me lots of comforting and spoilage"

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah if you're not so good at chem vet school would be an issue.

yes Kanda learns i have no sympathy for the stupid

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

I managed to pass the class with a B but I knew from the beginning I wasn't going to be a vet any time soon haha

Logan knows I don't, so she'll go for my other family members instead, and they can never resist

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha kanda's out of luck.i live alone but a B is pretty good for chemistry

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

Awww poor kitty hahaha

I was happy with it, considering the entire class of 15 kids got final grades somewhere around there at the end of the year; our teacher knew it was a really hard course in general so he was cool with it and took the time to help us all out when we didn't get stuff, which was a lot of the time haha. Wish I had more teachers like that that understood those kinds of things, but alas.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have to spend a lot of time tutoring students who just don't get it. so do our chem profs.

[nefelokokkygia.livejournal.com]

I usually got what we were learning pretty fast, but the class just went so fast with so much material covered in a single period; our teacher had everything on a huge slideshow that must've been 200-some slides long for the whole year, and we did like 2-3 topics a day which amounted to 4 or 5 slides sometimes; the AP exam was ridiculous in that we really did need to cover that much material that fast even though we didn't think so at first, then we saw the old AP exam stuff from previous years and we were like 'shiiiiiit' hahahaha
