    Morning everyone!!! burrrrr….. had to lots of kitty cuddling this am.. Abby wouldn’t let me get up!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all you smart, wonderful people who told me how to get pet odors out of my carpet!! Cuddles had been spot peeeeing – she’s now being treated for a UTI…. your superb advise recommended that I use an enzyme product, well boy what a difference. I borrowed my mom in law’s hand held carpet shampooer, bought a specific pet enzyme product, and after only one application – I couldn’t smell anything this morning!!! IT really worked well! Thanks

    That’s great news, AV!

    I love this cooler weather – I searched for 15 minutes for my second boot and finally found it. I get so excited when I can wear boots in South Florida – it only happens 3-5 days a year or so. I’m off to my hair appointment. I hope this woman is good at what she does – I’m getting a bit nervous!

    GD,too bad that you finished your Christmas cards last night – you could have done it at the salon! Bring a book or something – although they usually have plenty of the tabloid magazines laying around.

    I didn’t finish last night – I did 4!!!! 🙂

    As for the salon, I went at 10:30 like scheduled and the idiot at the desk said I was scheduled for one thing at 12:45 and one at 1:30. I asked him if I wasn’t down for a coloring at 10:30 and he said no, so I left. I am SO annoyed! My friend who set this up who works at the front desk called and left me a message that she was sorry it got messed up and that she’s rescheduled me for next Thursday. I can’t do next Thursday and I just drove 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back when there are so many other things I need to do that I could have done. I also missed my pre-paid team practice that I won’t be able to make up, so that’s 17 bucks out the window in addition to the gas money. Grrrrr!

    At least I was happy to get back and find Marsha’s Chester as TDK!

    In addition, Sugar and Spice’s mom works at the salon and I had hoped to track her down for money. She’d promised to leave me half the money at the house that first day, but she didn’t. Now I’m going to have to deal with having to try to get money out of her.

    I’m not having a good day here!

    Oh no, GD! That really sucks when people mess up with scheduling appointments. Don’t they understand that people make an effort to work around the appt and when it doesn’t happen it throws a wrench into a pre-planned day. Sheesh. Sorry your dog-watching client didn’t pay you and that now you have to hunt her down.

    Ladykat, your knee and leg issues sound quite painful. I hope you heal quickly.

    Joan, your Leela is such a trooper. What a precious kitty you have!

    Siobhan, I hadn’t heard of “personal summer” before but I like it. What a great way of putting it. I haven’t gotten there yet but am sure I will be doing so within the next 5 years.

    AZDeb, glad to hear you are maintaining. Hope you can get help with your arm. Sending healing thoughts to you.

    AV, that is so great when a product works! I bet you did a little happy dance and not smelling any cat pee. That stuff can be quite strong.

    I was feeling a little frustrated with my job yesterday. I had not much to do and my manager kept walking past my cubicle like I was being checked up on. They are working on budget items and it makes me nervous as I don’t feel my job is all that secure. I know HR said they are to keep me but the Senior Director said it all depends on the time between Oct 30 and when we come back from Holiday shutdown. So I am having a nice pumpkin scone and a grande mocha from Starbucks. Here is hoping things will work out.

    Happy Hump Day everyone!

    It was the cat-sitting lady who didn’t pay me (she’s a hair dresser at the salon). In addition to that, the one who was cutting my hair owed me that since she couldn’t pay me and the woman who works the front desk and scheduled all this owes me money for a weekend dog-sitting for her.

    I’m so annoyed right now, I don’t even want to go at all.

    Whirls in doing the new “I can’t smell cat-pee anymore” dance that SMM just taught her! LOL~!!!!… on to the next “issue” Cuddles (again) has found a new way to get back at me!! You know I’ve been giving her pills (6 down, 4 more days to go thank goodness – my fingers are all scared!) for the supposed UTI (remember the vet never could get a sample from her to confirm, but we’re treating her anyway!) …. well, now as soon as I give her the pill (I have to gator-wrestle with her to get it down)… she runs downstairs, and gobbles up food real fast so she pukes….. of course, up comes the pill with all the food she just threw up!! Twice now she’s done that…. what can she possibly think up next?

    GD – you need to get some money upfront for these jobs. Lots of these people require 50% upfront. Especially people who have used you before, and know how dependable you are, should be happy to give 50% up front, and the balance upon completion of the job. Just about all service industries – and handy man or repair work, any pre-ordering, etc. do this. It’s a reasonable request, and at least you wouldn’t be out the whole fee if they shanked on you. You could ask them to leave the money in an envelope on the counter, so that you will get it when you come to do the job. That way they would know for sure you’d been there; then have them leave the balance on the last day of your job – this would assume it was for a few days. If it’s a one time thing, I’d have them leave the entire fee. You show up to do the job, you get paid. It’s only fair.

    Good morning, all!

    AV – Don’t ask! They’re endlessly inventive about meds. Just last night Sam sneezed a full dose of ferrous sulfate right back in my face. Must look around now for a medical supply house to get a face guard. Secondhand ferrous sulfate with fish breath is so not pleasant.

    Have just ducked in out of the fog (yes, we do have fog in the San Fernando Valley — once in a while) for a quick cup of hot coffee and one of those glazed cinnamon roll thingys they used to sell at Winchell’s doughnuts. Crunchy and sweet on the outside, soft and cinnamon-y on the inside. Then I will have to pound keyboard for work.

    Cheers!

    LOL – I’ve used the term “personal summer” for quite a while now. And you can always tell who is getting to enjoy one when you are in a restaurant and a crazed woman suddenly grabs her water glass and dumps the contents on her head.

    GD, maybe the delay is good. You can look through magazines for a hair cut that you like. But, DO NOT cut off all of that beautiful hair!!! And please don’t color it eggplant…..

    Hi,all. Popping back in quickly before lunch arrives. We ordered Chinese food today and are looking forward to it.

    This morning got very hectic at work and doesn’t look much better after lunch. Lots of stuff coming in all at one time.

    If I don’t get back to the cafe, everyone have a great afternoon and see you tomorrow.
