It was raining in my class room

[cornerofmadness]

Or might as well have been. what Gods did we offend? Wood Hall is so old they don't even bother teaching in it in the summer since the a/c is sub par and the English/Psych classes are held in Bob Evans Farm Hall but it's a/c died on monday so everyone is in MY building and today the a/c died.

It's 97 degrees, heat index 110 and the humidity was 70% (see wildrider we can rival you for summer suckiness if we try hard) and the cinder block held that moisture. The cinderblocks and that moisture were cold, ditto the cement floor. The walls were weeping, the floor welling up. My podium looked like someone spilled a drink on it and I had to keep making paper dams around the computer to keep it dry. Every student nearly slipped on their ass. It was joyous. I made them stay all 3 hours while they laughed at my hair progressively getting curlier and sweat dripping off me like I was a ham in a smoker.

My arm is now covered in kinesiotape. OT used a taping for 'unstable shoulders' on it. This stuff is really cool (my brother has used it on me before and I used to use it on patient's feet). You could actually see the inflammatory fluids moving once the swollen deltoid was taped up and out of the way.

Feliway came. The box was CRUSHED. Luckily the feliway was okay (I'm not so sure about the flea medicine). I put it in. Soul has regressed even further. He didn't even come when I pulled apart the chicken and he was out in the living room with Kanda until I opened the door so it is definitely ME he doesn't want. And he shat in this computer room again. I can smell it but I can't find it. Head desk. we'll see what this feliway does but honestly I'm not holding out much hope. I can't have my apt smelling and being used as a giant litter box by a cat that acts more terrified of me b y the day. I'd hate to think what he'd do if I actually yelled when I see him doing his business outside the box.





I think I shared the boar scarer before but it's still cool



What i would do to own this

Soul, what is wrong with you?!

Man, that sounds awful at work. I'm freezing there, personally. I know the guys in the shop are too hot, but it's cold in my office.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he's psychotic

it was awful but it was so awful it was hysterical. The walls were weeping like an icon of the holy mother

and you are just pathetically sad

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's a good answer.

*SNICKER* I wondered if that was the imagery, believe me.

I know. But I don't feel bad, I was talking to a dealer in another state and she complained she wore a sweater to work, no matter what time of the year, because the A.C. worked too well, and the heater didn't work at all.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's the best I've got

it was

well UCF had their a/c that high, so high even I was cold. I was thinking this is where all my tuition goes

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Flagler had that one classroom we'd have to open the windows in the winter so we'd be warm enough to pay attention to Dr. Dillon.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

UCF is too modern for that. We're older than that college

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

hahaha, I'm sure.

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's been alarming to see temperatures higher in your neck of the woods than down here in Phoenix (yee ghods, Minneapolis!!!!). Of course, we STILL haven't had any rain in the center of town, despite the horrific wind and dirt storms, just a few drops here and there.

We am parched.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i know. poor Minneapolis. Two of our Linksters have probably burst into flames by now

it has been raining here

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

It's completely unbelievable, how hot it is. Bleah.

I'll use my snow icon. Imagery, right?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's it, let's see if we can evoke some coolness

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

*sad sigh* Yeah it's official...that poor Soul has lost it. Seems to me he had hidden mental issues when he came to you, and being around two other cats just magnified it to the point he's lost in his own scary world.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah that's pretty much what I think

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

It's either put him on anti- psychotic medication or put him down. Poor thing.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that could happen. he'llbe going to the vet's sto stay while I'm gone in a couple weeks and i'll have her check him out.

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't wait that long, by two weeks time he could be shitting all over the place or maybe even get nasty about things and bite you.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm not too worried about that. he's not acting at all violent

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Hopefully he won't get to the violent stage. But really hon it's best to not wait two more weeks if you can help it. The longer it's put off the more you'll hope he'll "just snap out of it" if you give him enough time.

What if it is actually a physical problem, like a tumor or other illness?

[yuukihikari]

That's some awful heat, damn. Dead AC sucks. I'll send you some of my cold Alberta weather out your way...

Pretty pictures!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes yes, send it.

thanks. this is still from Vancouver Island

[hierath.livejournal.com]

Poor Soul :( Do you think something happened when you were away and it scared him so much he's gone round the bend?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I have considered that. He's even afraid of hisbrother now but I can't imagine what it is. Kanda is his old self only more lovable. Soul was always one step from feral.I've been debating sending him some place more appropriate for 7 months now

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

I don't think the Feliway is going to help. I have no idea what to offer next. I don't think he is meant as an inside cat. Have you tried allowing him the option of leaving with Roy? At least Kanda seems to have stayed normal ... well, if a cat can ever be normal. Have you considered feline leukemia?

Cinderblock building = cave. Soon you'll have stalagmites! :D

And, yes, I could live in that garden.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Soul won't even go near the door. He's locked up under the futon. I no longer even see him. I have considered feline leukemia and other things. Some how or other I have to catch him and let the vet do tests. I think the feliway will catch my house on fire. Going to complain to company. I nearly burned my hand on the plastic trying to move the diffuser.

Stalagtites would so cool.

i know right

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Good lord, what substandard conditions you work in!

I hope the shoulder improves now.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't it grand? the trials of small colleges

thanks. not so much b ut it's going to be a long process
