September = Not ending well

Last night I realized (as we were pulling into Lawrence) that somewhere between Silver Dreamer and the car I lost the liner to the leather cup that is not mine.

Mother fucking puss bucket.

Please gods somebody turn it into Lost and Found. I am giving up on the leather mugs and purchasing a cheap wooden thing, god damn it. I feel terrible and I'm going to fret about it all week.

This morning, Mother Nature decided to cheat me out of three hours of sleep. Thanks for the thunderstorm, bitch. That was great.

And this afternoon I'm taking Fetish to the vet. She's had some problems with gross pimple-like infections on her chin and they've gotten pretty...bad. Her little chin was all bloody and scratched up this morning from her digging at it.

September has about thirty-eight hours to turn things around before I declare it the shittiest month of 2008. And considering exactly how shitty my year has been, that's pretty damn shitty, let me tell you.

(To reassure me that there is always something good in my life however, Fetish took a few sips out of her fancy water fountain this morning. That was encouraging. She hasn't shown much interest in it before now.)

This would be funnier if it didn't make me feel like crying.

I had some unkindly things to say about the thunderstorm, as well. Although it sounds like I managed to sleep through more of it then you did. The peal that woke me, though, echoed very oddly. If it had been in a movie or something, I would have said 'FAKE', because it was a perfect repeat, fading away. The next one sounded like something being dragged across gravel. Odd and odder.



I couldn't actually finish that video, by the way. Icky sickening.

The beginning is the best part, anyway. "Best" only in comparison, I should say.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hit in the face with the reality of oh my god it could really happen.

Do you need me to run to site and look for the mug liner? I can, and will.

If you've got the opportunity today (edit: or tomorrow, or Wednesday, or whenever!), and it wouldn't be a huge inconvenience, that would be beyond awesome of you.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. Yah, I'm tired and grumpy from the storm too cos it made my sinuses swell and my eyes and I look like I've been out all night when I slept a whole lot!

Wookie got a chin thing like that once. We had given him some of that "supposed to be so great" Science Diet and it was way too greasy for the poor guy. The vet said it also could have been an allergy to something in it because of course, the vet isn't going to say anything bad about a food that subsidized his practice.

Hmmm. I'll talk to Dr. Bayouth about that. Fetish is on Science Diet CD to alleviate crystals in her urine. Is that what you were using?

[identity profile] sherwood21.livejournal.com 2008-09-29 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Does she eat out of a metal bowl or a plastic one? We had a cat with the same problem, and the vet said to switch him to a metal bowl, because they will get clean all the way, whereas a plastic one won't. I can drop my mom an email to ask her what else they used to do for that, if you like.

She's eaten out of a metal bowl for most of her life. I recently switched her to a ceramic saucer that gets changed out at least every other day.

Any tips or hints you've got would be awesome, thank you. Poor Fetish!

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2008-09-29 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
On the nose!

Yes, you just reminded me why we had him on it, same reason so I'm sure it's the same stuff.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2008-09-29 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. It'll be really good to have that information going into the appointment.

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2008-09-29 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. I can't remember exactly what time frame it was, but we were either taking him to Dr. Bayouth or Animal Clinic of Kaw Valley. Whoever it was had seen it previously.

Poor kitty. It does sound like the same "rash".

She does, maybe you should tell her the route you took from the Silver Dreamer to the car. Just saying, you could get there a lot of ways, OH and where the car was would also I think help narrow the search.

Also I love you.

I emailed that info to her this morning. =)

GMTA!

Of course you did!
I AM A BOOB~!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2008-09-29 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you aren't, not at all.

Unless by that you mean you have GORGEOUS BOOBS in a FABULOUS NEW ICON.

[identity profile] nottygypsy.livejournal.com 2008-09-29 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I named that icon "copy boobs" because I was TOTALLY copping your icon!

And blush! Thank you!

My kitties sometimes get the greasy chin from science diet too, the regular adult formula. :(

September 2008

[identity profile] pamelonian.livejournal.com 2008-09-30 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
This month gets my vote for worst of the year! I had my truck towed, my kitty died, delivery of my new Honda is delayed, I tore my calf muscle. I faced a heartbreaking disappointment in my attempts to date someone I really liked. I can't think of a worse month that I have ever had!

I look forward to October. It can only get better!

Sorry to hear your September is so bad, too.

We need to go out drinking to celebrate October when KCRF is over. Are you coming out this year? Hope so!

From Mom: Also used hydrodren peroxide and an antibiotic ointment--but don't remember which one was safe for cat, so better check. Note: it is important to treat this, because in rare cases (Joey, of course, was one), their whole jaw can get infected and require systemic antibiotics.

Please don't be alarmed by that - I'm sure Fetish will be okay. (Joey had sort of amazingly bad luck with his health.) We take our critters to Linda Niedbalski at Kaw Valley Animal Clinic (Back by George's Hobby on 23rd st), if you need any advice or tips from her.

I might add a 3% hydrogen peroxide treatment to the cream I got at the vet. Thanks!

Cool. I hope kitty gets better soon!
