Current Mood: Relaxed
Current Music: Tool “Opiate”

Hubby just left for class, so here I sit all alone in the quiet house. Even the kittens are asleep. I did just turn around to find Casper staring at my back. Do you know how disturbing it is to turn around and find a cat just staring at you? Now he’s sitting in front of the heater vent. He has this weird blowing air fixation, he will sit in front of anything that blows air and just close his eyes and put his face into it. He even likes it when you blow air into his face when he’s sitting on your lap. He’s been like this since he was a kitten, he’s a weird one. Our method of punishment doesn’t work on him. We blow into our cats faces as a way of scolding them. It’s something they know from kittenhood since a mother cat would hiss at a misbehaving kitten, blowing air into their face in the process. It works much better than spanking. Casper understands my tone of voice though, all I have to do is call out “Casper” in a commanding tone and he’ll quit whatever he’s doing wrong at least.

Anyway, I keep waiting on the diarymaster to update. He led us to believe we’re getting the Chapters feature today. I hope we really are, that’s one feature I’m really looking forward to. I want to organize my diary, it’s going to take ages to go through every entry and organize it but that’s okay. I’m a pretty well organized person, well, you wouldn’t know it looking at my desk. Everything is kind of buried under papers, guiness cans & root beer cans, catalogs and whatnot but otherwise it’s organized. My actual desk at work is VERY well organized, that’s how I’d like my OD to be, not like my desk at home. 🙂

Y’know, it’s kind of funny. I CAN’T be pissed off right now. I’m so fucking relaxed it’s not even funny. I don’t have a fucking care in the world. I’ve known for a long time that most of my stress comes from not having enough money. Now that we have the loan I don’t have to worry about it. I was starting to worry since we haven’t found homes for two of the kittens, but now if we have to keep them it won’t be a problem, we can afford the vet bills and extra food. One of my worst fears when Sophie had her babies was WHAT IF something goes terribly wrong, we can’t afford to pay outrageous vet bills. Luckily the only problem was a minor one fixed for the cost of a thirty dollar office visit. But this is something people who live paycheck to paycheck live with every day of their lives, WHAT IF something goes wrong. The first thing that crosses your mind when your car does something funny is “Oh shit! We don’t have money to fix it”. The first thing that crosses your mind when ANYTHING goes wrong is “We don’t have extra money”. Everyone says to get a savings set up, but sometimes that’s not even possible. It’s easy to say that when you’re not in that position. It’s a huge stress I never want to see again. Heh, I’m reminded of a book. “The Broke Diaries”, hillarious book, read it. 🙂

Casper is staring at me again. He’s really happy. He loves it when we cut his hair. He was a psycho kitty earlier. He does this thing where he runs around and jumps up, grabs onto the door frame and slides down it. He’s done this since he was a kitten too. I swear this cat is the weirdest one I’ve ever seen. He’s not the brightest bulb in the box, let me tell you, but he’s cute nonetheless.

Hmm, cd just ended and the rest of my cd’s are downstairs. *restarts cd* There, problem solved.

My pool cue made it to MA today, yay!! I’ll have it tomorrow. I can’t wait to see it. It’s purple and silver, I’m hoping the silver is shimmery. That’s the thing about buying certain things online, you can’t see what they REALLY look like. I got the impression that the silver is shimmery, so hopefully it really is. We might have to go play pool tommorrow night. We tried to go on Sunday night but the place was PACKED. They have cheaper rates from Sunday to Thursday, it’s a 10 dollar flat rate. Saturday night’s it’s a 9 dollar hourly rate so no one goes, we’ll go then. I can’t play with people around me. I can’t focus. We leave as soon as someone parks themselves next to us. I was so annoyed on Saturday, we were playing, there were a TON of empty tables, you can choose your own table at the place we were at and someone chose the table right next to us even though there were like 8 other open tables with no one next to them. I swear some people just levitate towards other people. Why would you choose to play pool next to someone when you could not, there’s the whole issue of sticks and having to watch out for the other players too. You don’t have to worry about bumping anyone if you’re not next to anyone, what a concept!! lol, that reminds me. We were in Taco Bell awhile back, the place was empty save for a guy over at a table in the corner and us. The tables in Taco bell are jam packed together, there’s less than a foot between each table. One woman came and sat RIGHT next to us, literally less than a foot from hubby. She just had to choose the table right next to us instead of the 20 other empty tables. We just ended our conversation, got up and left, who wants to talk with someone sitting practically at your table? I mean shit, I could understand if the place was crowded, but it wasn’t, what’s WITH people? *shrugs*

Speaking of Taco Bell, that’s where we’re probably going for lunch tomorrow. We have to go to Gamestop, in the same parking lot, and reserve our copies of Hordes of the Underdark. Woot!! 15 days till Hordes of the Underdark!! *does little dance*

Hubby talked to loan dude today. He had to tell him not to overnight our loan paperwork to our house because we wouldn’t be there to sign for it. So he said he’d overnight it to our notary instead and he/she’d bring it with him/her to the signing, which is Wednesday at 6:30pm. We should have our money by next Tuesday or Wednesday, WOOT!!

Umm, I’m down to 800 characters, how the hell did that happen?? I should go do something else, play Neverwinter perhaps. After my shower that is. 🙂
