I’m getting sick of getting logged out of OD. For some reason I thought that “feature” was going away with 4.0. Guess I was wrong. It’s even worse now though because when you log back in you don’t go back to the page you had been visiting, you get sent back to the front page. Ugh! I hate automatic logout.

Anyway, good morning! 🙂 I just finished putting my makeup on and boy was that a chore! Sophie is going psycho this morning, I kept having to stop and go distract her from her kittens. She keeps playing with them too roughly. First thing she did to me this morning was bite the shit out of my leg. The bite matches the bad one on my arm although it’s not as bad. She did break the skin though. All I was doing was standing there. She’s “in a mood” this morning. Makeup is also difficult for me in general, I have this problem with my hands. They shake, it’s not Parkinson’s or anything like that, they just shake. My grandfather and father have it too. My dad got really dissapointed when he saw my hands shaking for the first time, he was hoping I wouldn’t have that problem. He noticed it in me when I was out in the garage working on my model cars. I had to quit working on model cars because of it, I got fed up, I couldn’t do the paint neatly enough, what good is an unpainted model car? *shrug* Putting my black liquid eyeliner on in the morning is quite a task, it never comes out as neatly as I’d like, sometimes I might as well forget it. lol

We have to go out to Petsmart this morning. I need some all natural paper litter for the kittens. They’re eating the litter. I had opted to use clay litter with them because that’s what most people use and I didn’t want the new owners to have problems getting the kittens to use the litter. The cedar litter we normally use is a little sharp to be swallowed so my only option is paper litter. I’ll have to switch them back over to clay once they quit eating the litter.

I’m getting really fed up with Sophie. She’s been in there attacking the kittens again. There’s only so much screaming kitten noises I can take. I’m also afraid they’re going to end up playing too rough just like she does. I’m really sick of her shit. I’ve never owned a cat this fucking obnoxious, if she’s excited and you happen to walk past her she’ll roll over and bite the shit out of your leg or foot. If you try to pull away or give any indication that it’s painful or unpleasant she just digs in harder. One bite that sends me to the emergency room is enough for one lifetime. Spray bottles are going to become standard issue for anyone visiting us, the only way to get her off of you when she’s biting is to spritz her with water. The bite that sent me to the emergency room a few weeks ago has scarred over. There’s still a little lump there and the feeling in the skin between the tooth marks hasn’t come back yet.

I’ve got to get the rest of the house cleaned up today, our neighbors are coming over tonight to meet the kittens. I cleaned the dining room last night, I need to at least get the kitchen in order. At least with our bedroom I can shut the door so no one can see in. I need to get the pool packed away for winter as well. I need hubbys help with that though and he’s so busy with school he hasn’t had much time to help me. Maybe tomorrow morning. I wanted to take it down Sept. 1st but it didn’t happen. You’re supposed to take it down before the temperatures start falling below about 45 degree’s and uh, we’ve had temps that low already. *sigh* Whatever though.

Anyway, I should go check the weather and stuff.
