Cleaning House – The Drafts Addition

I have spent every New Year cleaning up the drafts section in WordPress, dumping the incomplete thoughts and half finished blogs in one, very long, post. I neglected to do that last year, and so here they are – the crumbs of the past, incomplete rants and raves, the drafts. They span the time all [...]

Wounded Dogs

I wish I spoke beagle. If I did, then perhaps Pip could tell me what’s wrong. He’s not spritely, bouncy, or otherwise hyper. He stayed right by my side all weekend (including Friday where I took a nap and never really woke up). We think he hurt himself somehow. If you’ve ever seen him bounce [...]

Valentine’s prognosis

Val ended up staying at the Vet’s all freaking day. While it bothered me at first, the events with the rest of the afternoon kept my fears at bay. I phoned the vet around 3 (I dropped him off around 10) and they said they wanted to keep him a little longer in order to [...]

When it rains…in a good way

My interview went really well yesterday. D and I went out on Sunday night and bought new interview outfits. I had a nice suit from my interview with the Water Department in Orlando (see 2004), and it still fits, but it felt too stuffy. Then the suit I bought for my interview with my last [...]

French braids, cereal and flies and being crazy…

Flies have taken over my house. They glide and buzz through the air like small, drunk buses – thunking into my paper lanterns and computer screens. One landed on D’s face last night and I almost puked. He and I have become quite skilled in fly-killing. I try not to kill any bugs, I really [...]

Beagle Laps

Puck (the one running most of the time) likes to play chasey-chasey. Pip still doesn’t know what he’s doing with the whole thing. The resulting journey – one beagle running after another – and somehow, my cat (Valentine – the one who is sick right now) doesn’t feel the need to move. This is a [...]

When it’s just not worth fighting about….

I’ve had some hiccups with friends recently. I’m either excluded from the important things, or some get on their high horses, hurt my feelings, and the blame the whole situation on me. Now, shit happens. I totally get that. But I’m more than a little tired of fighting with people. My mantra is “life’s too [...]

The update

Valentine has a mass in his bladder. This is unusual for cats, but common in dogs of his age (which is still not old, damnit). The problem is that we don’t know if it’s cancer or not. The test the Vet ran yesterday came back inconclusive. What’s next? There are several options. D and I [...]

Val….part II

He was pissing blood again so we just ran him up to the vet. They are keeping him for now, to try to figure out what the problem is (D came home early due to the “MoodyMeow got laid off n shit” stuff), and we hope to find out what’s going on. She called him [...]

Thank you ….

Lex – because there is no one else in the world I would rather go through this with. I’m still the coolest granddaughter, but I’ll let you delude yourself for a little longer. Calie – don’t worry. I’m still going to be your partner extroidairre, or how ever you spell that word. Cat – It’s [...]

My fireplace smells like stinky cloves

That was the first thing I thought this morning when I woke up. How vile? How nasty? How could I smell or taste anything beyond that stench? How in the fuck am I going to get through residency without smoking? But my friend from work is quitting and I am trying to be supportive. And [...]

Update and updates

Moody Meow has been stagnent lately. I’ve been busy, but I know you are tired of hearing this.  To bring things a little more forward, I’m using a new theme (although the one I wanted to use broke the whole damn site) and I am trying to figure out how to blog from googledocs. Why? [...]

Quick

He’s home. After 7 days of running around the neighborhood, we got the call. He’s skinnier, whiney, and smells funny, but my cat is home. Surprisingly, Voodoo is not happy. He keeps hissing at Valentine. I wish I spoke cat. After 7 days of sleeping in the living room because I was so congested and [...]

Sleeping alone

Valentine likes to sleep in the crook of my arm. If he can’t have that space, he will submit to sleeping between my feet. Either way, unless he’s buried in the couch pillows, he sleeps with me. (Or D…. he loves him too). But I can’t sleep in my bed right now. It doesn’t feel [...]

Still gone

I posted flyers outside of my house. I’ll post the rest throughout the neighborhood tonight. D starts work today, so we are trying to figure out how to get to Troutdale to go to the county shelter. I had a dream last night that the floor had rotted out and that was how he got [...]

Valentine is missing

We saw him last night, but D’s been home all day and no cat. I’ve tried calling him. D tried treats. I don’t know what to do.

Chasey-chasey

So, if you are having a bad day, just take a look at this. Some of you know that Puck is very fond of chasey-chasey. It was raining that night, and the boys were very hyper, so we chased them around the table. The fun part ? They have NO traction! It is amusing. Every [...]

Back on track

I fucked up with school in a big way, so I’m digging myself out of the muck and mire and trying to get back on track. It’s hard right now. I thought not being in Florida for my first holiday would be a breeze, but I kind of miss driving on the 408 as the [...]

Happy Birthday Amandapants!

I owe that bitch a beer, and a hug when she gets back. She’s going to be in Cleveland until tomorrow, and when she gets home, we are going to a bar she found (it’s not like there aren’t a million here), and we will celebrate. Her cats have missed her terribly. I have too. [...]

Ketchup

This is where I stop being a total slacker and I get back into the groove of everyday writing. I almost applied to write for Portland Metroblogging, but I thought it would be silly. I can’t get myself to write every day right now, so why add another stress when I have a shitload of [...]
