The Heat Goes On

It has been so awful weather wise lately - I hate when people say "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" - it IS the heat. Since we still don't have central air it's a bit like living in the Congo without the exciting bits like gorillas or anacondas. David is hoping to have the flip done by the first week in July so we're hanging in there for now until he gets to our house. My leaving for work 45 minutes later in the morning is helping, David can get out of here early and be done before the afternoon heatwave hits. I sent him over with an old floor fan that but will only get you so far. We continue to be busy busy! We're visiting Jackson, Brandi and the girls in July, I have my CRRN test coming up at the end of June, we're trying to stay on top of the housework, the shopping and the bill paying.....and work. I have to work.

Work has been a bit weird - due to a paperwork glitch they opened the new office (hooray!) and then shut it two days later (boo)after we had moved everything and settled in. We can still work out of the office, we just can't have the charts there or do any patient related work(calls, faxing, etc...) from that office. So, we are nomads, I am there, I'm at the other  office and back again. It's very difficult but I can least work from the closer office most of the week and like I said, time wise - and gas wise! - it does really help. But I just feel discombobulated all the time with all this back and forth!

The killing spree has (forgive the pun!!) died down for now, Bob the cat was not feeling too well and David suggested she might need to be wormed due to all the citizens she ingested over the past 2 weeks.. She is a horror show to give ANYTHING so I thought this time I would speak in a soft, charming voice while wrapping her in a large and thick towel and then pumping 8cc of stuff she doesn't like down her gullet. I got as far as wrapping her in a large towel multiple times - I have to tell you it's pretty near impossible to speak in a soft charming voice while wrestling a squirming wildly suspicious cat - the whole thing was a cluster.....well, you know what kind of a cluster it was. I did manage to get a good 3 drops down her before she did one of those wild cat shrieks, dropped and rolled and left me holding 7.98 ccs and a bunch of shattered dreams. So, I threw out her food, gave her tuna fish with 7.98ccs mixed in and Bob, being a cat ate half. Bastard. I declared us mortal enemies until she ate the rest of it and told David  that Bob and I were no longer friends. Around 7 she started looking for treats and I pointed at her bowl - she sat, narrowed her eyes and meowed a lot. I tossed some treats in the bowl and mixed them in ,declared us enemies again and left the room. Yes, she did  eventually eat it after David announced he was planning on killing everyone involved in debacle. Bastards!
