How Would You Like to Wake up to THIS Purring in Your Ear?

Ozzy

This is Ozzy from Vancouver. He was shot in the neck with a crossbow. After $1000 worth of hard work and vet bills, he is doing fine. He's also gorgeous and brave.

Almost There

It's almost 2am and I'm exhausted. The kitchen was worse than I ever imagined. It took me three tries to get it somewhere near passable. I had to keep sitting down and resting to catch my breath and to rest my back. I'm sore and falling asleep at the computer, so I'm going to bed now. The landlady isn't coming until 2:00, so I'm going to get up around ten-ish and finish what I can. I hope it's enough. At least the kitties are happy with their brand-spankin' clean littler box.

Good News

The landlady was here and liked how I had worked so hard and bagged up all the trash. I just cleaned the litter box last night, so the kitchen still smells like cat. She wasn't happy with that. I also didn't get the floors done. I don't have a vacuum, but I told her I was going to get Stanley Steemer in to do the floors after all the trash is out. The garbage men don't like to take too many bags at a time - two or three, so it's going to be about 3 or 4 weeks before the trash is all out. But I'm going to mop the kitchen floor and get rubber mats for the litter box and the cat food and water dishes. Hopefully that will cut down on the cat smell. I'm also getting a better odor control litter. This last one was on sale and it sucked!

Anyway, I have three more weeks before she comes back to check again. I CAN DO THIS!!! I AM DETERMINED TO GET MY LIFE BACK!!! I WANT IT AND I DESERVE IT!!!

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT!!! I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT MY CHEERLEADERS AND ENCOURAGEMENT TEAM!!! YOU GUYS ALL ROCK SO HARD!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Trash Can Rounds Three, Four and Five

Last Thursday I ordered a 32-gallon trash can from Staples. I had to buy the lid separately. :/ When I got my confirmation e-mail from Staples, the only thing on there was the lid. I called back and they said UPS wouldn't deliver something that big to the Post Office. Background - I live within a quarter-mile radius of the post office, so I do not get mail delivered to my apartment. It is considered an undeliverable address. UPS uses the USPS list of addresses to deliver their packages. ::Eye roll::

So, I canceled the lid, since it didn't do me any good without the trash can. On Monday, UPS delivered the lid TO MY HOUSE.

Today, I went round three, four and maybe five with, alternately, UPS, Staples, UPS and Staples again. UPS insisted they could deliver the trash can to my door. Staples insisted it was to big according to their contract with UPS. After over two hours on the phone, I will be getting my trash can delivered to my door on Thursday! At least I already have a lid for it - free of charge, since I canceled the order last week and the lady said go ahead and keep it. WHEW!
