My Poor Hoover....

One of my INDOOR cats has fleas. Seriously, how does that happen? lol So I went to PetsMart today and got some flea meds. I've done this on her before; it's the kind that you squirt on the scruff of her neck. But this time I bought a different kind, since I've had to do this before. She hated it last time, and she hated it this time.

But this time I wrapped her up in a blanket (not very well, though), and Katie squirted her. Katie missed, lol. Hoover hauled ASS back to my bedroom to sulk under my bed. She came out a while later and I saw that she was licking it. After seeing on the box to NOT let the cat get the meds into her mouth, I got a little concerned. So I called my vet's after hours number. He said that the otc stuff can be lethal if ingested, so she needed to be bathed in dilluted dishsoap. Great..... we've done that before, and let me tell you, Hoover HATES water.

So I put on a sweatshirt and some gloves and had Taylor shut the bathroom door behind us. Hoover knew as soon as she saw the tub of water. I did the best that I could, and I hope I haven't killed my kitty. She's on my bed now licking herself. That's gonna be one sore tongue!! lol

Sheesh

I was eating my Amish friendship bread, dipping it in butter. Hoover wanted my butter, but too bad. Then I hear Bronson spill his cereal WITH milk. I think I've outsmarted my cat and put the butter high up on my desk (she's afraid of heights; she doesn't go that far up). I go and clean up the table, the floor, and him. I put his dishes away and then put his washcloth away. I then decide to throw the laundry in the dryer. Come back to my desk and there's Hoover with Amish friendship bread scattered all over my desk and she's licking her chops......

Fine, I was outsmarted by the cat.......

Crazy Days

I had my ECE class on Tuesday night. I'm doing really well in getting my assignments in. They're not due on any specific day, as long as they're turned in (or done, in the case of the oral reports), and I'm ahead of schedule. Which is good, because I have a big project to start working on that's due on the last night of class.

For this last Tuesday, we had to construct blocks. There were all sorts of do's and don'ts, but I won't go into them. I got a 99 out of 100 points. Dammit. My edges weren't all taped down securely, so kids could be able to rip them apart. Duh, they're handmade!! Anyways......

Then we had mid-terms the other night, too. I think I did pretty well; the material that was on the mid-term was pretty well covered. This is the first semester for this particular instructor, and I think she's a little strict/hard, but she's new and going by the book. That's ok, it takes all kinds....

Wednesday night's sociology class went well. I didn't study for my weekly quiz and got a B-. So I should have studied; I would have got a better grade, but I guess I did ok.

I allso had physical therapy on Wed. for my carpel tunnel surgery. Therapy is going really well; better than what I expected, actually. I had alot of scar tissue, and it's doing much better. And it just feels better where the incision was. I was healing alot slower than what I thought that I should have been before therapy, so I'm glad that I've continued to go.

Today was super-crazy-busy. I finally got a DHS check, so I went to the dollar store and picked up some necessities and some things for goodie bags. (We had a Halloween party tonight for the daycare kids.) I then went to Pet's Mart because I found fleas on Jerrie and Hoover. EWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! Doesn't it figure; the 2 indoor cats is where I see the fleas first. I stopped at the pet adoption center and visited the kitties. OMG, I could just take so many of them home!!! There was one, especially, that tugged at my heartstrings. He was part manx, and HUGE with this little stub of a tail. But, 3 is enough, and I think even Katie would kill me if I brought another one home, lol.

I then went to Office Max to get ink. Then Fazoli's to pick up a gift card for Jon. Mom is giving it to him for his birthday. I then stopped at Farm Bureau. We hadn't had car insurance for several weeks, and it cost over $800 to re-instate without lapse.

I then stopped at Meijer and made them profitable, lol. Two carts and $300 later, I got out of there.... Came home and put stuff away, well, kind of. It got a little nuts with 25-30 people in here for the Halloween party. We didn't do much, just a craft and snack. But it's so cute to see the kids in their Halloween costumes. And the snacks were yummy. Brad made a pumpkin dessert, Katie made cupcakes, and we had fruit and dip. My house is seriously trashed, but I don't have any kids tomorrow night, Saturday, or Sunday, so I'll get it back together eventually..... (that and Katie will be here tomorrow, my knight in shining armour!!! lol). Or my cleaning lady, right hand, right brain.... something like that.....
