Yay

I sold an old vampire story to an anthology With a Twist. Frankly I'm a little surprised since it was old. I tried redoing two longer older ones with evil_little_dog's help but concluded one wasn't worth the effort and the other required more work than I had time for. I found another one with one of the characters from a series (not that you'd know it). Staples was picked up and I'm really happy. I've been trying with this one for years. Also, you know, looking around at another old vampire story today I found one I forgot that would have been fun to use but it had too much sex. I need to edit that one and shop it around.

I got my science officer's shirt today from think geek (they ran out of geek pins much to my dismay so I didn't get one). I'm not so sure I like the shirt but I'm keeping it (okay i like it but it's a) thin, b) the communicator symbol is flocked and those never last more than a few washings).

I had to do two things I didn't want to do today: 1. I was bleaching the mugs and glasses. My clean-appearing sink wasn't. As soon as the bleach hit the water it must have loosened up what looked like a layer of bacon grease but of course it was invisible until i put the glasses in...i was going to scrub them anyhowbut I had to scrub WAY harder than I wanted to. Cleaning blows.

2. I do not like using flea shampoo. I can't stress that enough. I needed to do something. Kanda had more fleas a week after I put frontline on him than he did before I frontlined. Soul isn't so bad but Kanda was a mess. I need to flea bomb this place, even though i've seen none hopping around the carpet. He took it well. Fleas fell off in droves. Poor cat. He didn't even fuss much when I shoved him under the spigot for a rinse.





I LOATHE you.



There's WATER in my ear!

Do you know how long this is going to take me to dry?

scary amounts of fur in the tub.

How in the world is Kanda getting fleas when he doesn't go outside????

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

good question. i do not know. I suspect from roy and we never managed to kill them

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

At least you're both writing and selling stories.

Poor Kanda. Nothing sadder than a wet cat.

Kanda's expression in the first picture is beyond precious.

I love a wet cat. It just HUMBLES them before the monkeys.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha, at least Kanda was a good sport about it. He could use some humbling

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes i'm happy.

Kanda was not happy

[lunaria-kitty.livejournal.com]

He's adorable. <3 But at least he'll be feeling better, even if it involved getting wet.

hopefully this will help get things under control. The funny thing? He sits on the tub all the time, half in it playing with the bubbles when I'm in there

Poor Kitteh. Poor you. Big hugs.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That would have to be it, and ewww. Plus, the mild winter is great for fleas and ticks!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and there were still live fleas on him today. head desk

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Take them to the vet, pay for a de-infestation of them; bug bomb your place...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm probably going to have to

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

There you go!

er. Of course, that's more money.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Sheesh.

[lunaria-kitty.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, that's so cute! Maybe he only likes it when you're in it then?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

exactly so. Soul is the same way. So was the cat I had in the 90's
