A tree fell on my car

[cornerofmadness]

alternative titles: "To quote my mother, 'your brother is a stubborn stupid asshole.'" or "Why is there a hand print of bruises on my right breast?"

so let's deal with this day shall we?

1. Talked to mom and apparently my brother didn't tell them he needed more pain pills (he's done this the last two times too). rolls eyes.

2. Had to catch Soul to take him to the vet. Last night he stopped coming out again and pooped under the futon. I merely flipped the cover up and reached under it and he started howling a cry reserved for abject fear and shit himself in terror when I touched him. I didn't even grab him, I just touched his fur. I had to haul him out. The vet said that there is nothing wrong with him. The lumps are calluses on his legs and a normal variant on his wrist. She said for his sake and my own, Soul has to go. We're going to try to find him a home. This is hard for me. I never had it happened that I had to give a cat I owned to a shelter (I have given two to my parents but that wasn't the same). right now he's by my chair, too terrified to go back under the futon. I'm going to have to separate him from Kanda who now induces terror when he was just a month ago a beloved playmate.

3. Stepped outside and saw the almost ripe tomatoes had been coon-robbed (my landlord trapped FOUR of them last night)

4. Heard something hit the dumpster behind the building today at work, thought huh, I don't see anyone dumping in there and I'm more or less alone in the building. I go outside to go back to the vet and see a TREE HAD HIT MY CAR. WTF universe? Luckily most of it hit the dumpster and the road and the neighboring yard and only the upper branches hit my car and pulverized into saw dust since it was a very dead tree. No dents, no scratches, how lucky. However, I had originally parked the car closer to the dumpster then said screw this it's too hot and backed up closer to the school. if I hadn't my car would be toast.

5. I spoke to my brother who couldn't talk long because of the pain and all kinds of sad and 'i shouldn't have done this.' (is there anyone ever who has a major surgery and doesn't feel this way? I know I did). He then calls me back 2 hours later to apologize for rushing me off. It's like dude, I understand. I only called, not to talk but so you didn't think I didn't care. I get you don't want to talk.

6. In the shower, thinking how did I get dirt on the cleavage side of my right boob? WTF that's a BRUISE! When I get out of the shower, I check the mirror. hmm, it's not just a bruise it's FIVE bruises. It's a freaking someone dug in fingers hand print but I couldn't figure out how or who. Then I went to do my arm exercises and realized lying on my back my hand naturally fell into that position. I must have had a bad dream and squeeze the living shit out of my own breast. Way to go loser.




This is the entrance to the Italian garden which was the smallest and least inspired of Buchart's Gardens

(Let's try this again)

Poor Soul. But there isn't really anything you can do when there doesn't seem to be any reason why he should be so freaking terrified.

o.O Wow, that tree...geez.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no there really isn't.

i'm so lucky. i mean there was no reason for it to suddenly give up its fight with gravity

Poor Soul and poor you par deux

[mustangsally78.livejournal.com]

Clearly, there's something so terribly wrong with his little psyche that what he needs is a little old lady to baby him. These things happen.

At least your brother is on the mend, although I'm disturbed by your sleep boob-squeezing. How very odd.

Re: Poor Soul and poor you par deux

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that might be what he needs. What i know he needs is not to be here for the mental health of me him and Kanda

it is totally odd. way to maim myself in my sleep

John took a slight turn for the worse today when the spasms came back

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Beautiful picture.

You know my reaction to the rest of it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it is and i do

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Well, we'll have to hope for the best for Soul. I've never heard of a cat having something like that happen to him, poor fellow.

You really do have the most alarming days...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my vet is very stumped too. Then again I know three seperate people who have to keep their cats seperated at ALL times. My place is way too small for that but until he's gone Soul IS locked in the computer room by himeself with his own food/litter.

it's exciting to be me

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

We do get some kerfluffles between the boys, but on the whole, nothing TOO horrible. At least the poop behind the couch seems to have been a one-time event and we have concrete floors! (But there is a reason we stick to three cats.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I understand. I expect them to get on each other's nerves b ut this is getting nuts

[artemisrae.livejournal.com]

That is a LOVELY picture.

I'm glad to hear your brother is at least through the surgery okay. My abdominal surgery was some of the most uncomfortable (to put it mildly) I've been in my entire LIFE and it doesn't even compare to having your colon removed.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

The garden was just amazing

thanks. Yeah I can't even imagine

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Poor little Soul. Now I just want to cuddle my two little monsters.

Are you sure you aren't being visited by a incubus?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Soul is just so very unhappy all of the sudden. this has become a bad place for him

I should hope to enjoy an incubus visit more

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

That was very lucky that you'd moved your car.

I'm so sorry that you're going to have to give Soul up, but it sounds like what'll be best for him.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

very lucky indded

thanks.I think it will be better for him

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

hope LJ lets me commnet..
it must be so difficult for your brother.
really it does sound like poor soul is having some sort of psychotic break. it sounds like he`s hallucinating

beautiful photo

um item 6.....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it really is difficult for him

there are gears mashing up in that cat's head

yeah i know i know

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

God, poor Soul. There really is something wrong with him. Perhaps being touched hurts? It's so damn hard to figure out what's wrong with sick cats. :-(

Again, I wish the best for your brother. I know having an ostomy bag isn't fun--my sister had one for over a year due to her surgery--but it's better than constant pain, which I hope will let up.

Maybe a ghost felt you up in your sleep. ;-P

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

she thinks it's all psychological and i'm inclined at this point to agree

thank you very much. Right now he's having spasms in the stump of colon they left which is perplexing to the surgeon

you know that ghost might have

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Oh hon....you need hugs!!!

*big huggles*

Even Cousin Dennis said that when he heard me say "OH NO!" Read him your entry, he nodded and firmly remarked "Gal needs a few hugs. Life hasn't been kind lately."

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

*more huggles*

Man... What a week for you. Poor Soul. So sorry it's not something that can be resolved in your home. But obviously something is terrifying him beyond belief.

Glad your brother came through his surgery okay. Sorry he's still having pain, but hopefully that will resolve once it heals more.

Hard to say you're lucky you moved the car a little... considering you luck in some other things lately. But I'm glad your new car wasn't damaged.

Your boob.... I'm afraid I don't have anything to say about that.

These pictures of this garden are just gorgeous and I love them.

I have a tiny pepper growing on my pepper plant. It's about an inch in diameter now. But man oh man, I can't believe how much this plant wilts during the day. Then it perks back up at night. I don't know why. I even moved it back on the porch so it didn't get so much sun, but it still wilts very badly.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Kanda is now a huge source of anxiety for Soul as well as me. Me taking him out from under the futon has made the futon a no-go zone. he has to be rehomed

thank you. My brother is home now

yeah usually I pull it where the bulk of the tree would have hit it and my coworker parks were i did that day. He wasn't there. It said it's too hot to breathe I'm taking his spot.

this garden was amazing

i have several wilting in this heat too. Without nightly watering they'd be dead in 48 hours I'm sure
