my curtains look pregnant

[cornerofmadness]

that's how much my windows leak. Most of the bulge is behind plastic but seriously, i could double layer the plastic AND the curtains and I'd still have a draft in here (and this is after i caulked the windows)

It was a challenging day. It was a snow day. It should have been productive. Instead it was swamped with work b.s. that I don't want to go into on an open forum so instead let's concentrate on the positive.

For one, Soul is doing fine. One incision site didn't make me happy so I'll keep an eye on it but he is absolutely wrecking havoc everywhere. I ended up feeding him early last night since he seemed to be doing okay and was trying to eat garbage. I also called the cat shelter for the voucher. they are a strange bunch. seriously.

check out the 21 day meditation challenge Join me if you'd like. There will be new meditations (they probably heard about it when the fall meditation challenge had the exact same ones as the summer). Yes, this is via Deepka Chopra. Yes it'll put you on the mailing list. I like the monthly newsletter and just delete the emails selling me stuff. I liked the challenge last time. I've not had time/motivation to meditate in the last 4 months. this will hopefully help.

And if i dont' say it enough, you guys are all great. thanks for trying to help me thru the writing crap last night. I need more hours in a day, yes i do.





Here it is under snow. yes i go up this every day

EEEE to billowing plastic + caulk.

I'm glad Soul is doing well.

it's nuts how bad these windows are

yeah he's b eing bad as i type

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Considering how that apartment is, I'm not at all surprised.

Somehow, I'm not at all surprised.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

cheap, it's the word for the day

he's playing with the jingle ball. i can hear it everywhere

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Cheap, unfinished....

hahaha, the dogs are cuddled in front of the heater. They're easy to find.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah that too

mine are still romping. at least two of them from the sounds of it

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

The dogs were pretty excited by their supper ronight - pork neck bones! Wheeeee!

Eating outside in the COLD. Okay, they were excited about the food but not the cold.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha they'll adjust. right now everyone is pissed there is only kibble

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Rogue is firmly attached to the heater. But she was outside the longest, too, and lying down in the snow.

hahahaha

Your windows sound a bit scary o__o As does that hill thing you live on. You really drive that every day - *with* all the snow? Maybe this is just my wimpy southern-ness talking, but I would probably curl up into a ball on the floor of my car and refuse lol

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the windows are just freaking cheap.

I live in the hollow and have to UP the hill. My parents on the other hand live ON the hill (I'll have to put up pictures)

and yes pretty much from Jan-March there are varying levels of ice and snow there.

...and the guardrail is still smashed to hell. Doesn't Ohio ever do repairs? It was scarier in the fog picture. Of course, everything is scarier in the fog.

I'm glad your cats are romping. Sick pets are depressing and worrisome to have around (looking at you, Psyche), which is the last thing you need right now.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the guard rail has looked like that for going on 6 years so that answers your question. Yes th fog picture was better.

Indeed. Soul seems happy enough (though Roy kicked his ass today) and Kanda is over whatever creeping crud he had. how's Psyche

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to wonder if Psyche didn't get sick in the first place because something else weakened her, and maybe the paralysis was just the first symptom. Parakeets are notoriously prone to tumors. She's still very thin and weak and not eating well, and the antibiotics don't seem to have helped much. I'm doing wait-and-see right now, and keeping her going with daily doses of Ensure, but she can't live on granny-food indefinitely.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

there was a disease (which I forget the name of) that interferes wtih them absorbing nutrients. my last parakeet had it and just keep losing weight and weakening

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

I think Tucker had that, but then she had so many issues after she slammed her head into that window that there's no telling what killed her. Psyche is only three, and she's been on a zoo-quality diet of pelleted food, so she shouldn't be having those kinds of problems quite yet. It could be that the antibiotics were just rough on her system, and she needs time to normalize, but only time will tell.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes that could very well be too. good luck

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes... the shitty roads of WV and south east OH. I remember them fondly... as I no longer have to drive on them.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah, rub it in. You need to come for a visit. right. now.
