Good Night Nurse..or Something + An Update re: Washer!

 Mom is having a not terrific time.  The door salesman who came yesterday quote over 8 thousand dollars for a plain front door.  He showed her a nicer one with glass in the design.  Pretty.  Mom liked it and me too.  I could see out of some of it.  Eight thousand bordering on 9.  He had all the geegaws and furbelows in it.  Mom had to say buh bye!  I'll make her go to Home Depot  to see what they can do~~~ and she'd rather run nekkid down Main St. than go to them, but...I will make her. 

Then while I was whining for my usual boatload of treats and following her everywhere and helping while she washed her hair, did the usual with it, dried it, ironed it..blah blah and me whining constantly to have my way...she heard a sound which turned out to be the new washer knocking as it was severely unbalanced...with a light medium load of T shirts, undies, hand towels, one bath towel and the microfiber sheets and cases.  NO reason for a several month old LG washer to go crazy BUT!  it did.  Not her best day.  She called someone and they are on their way to see what the matter is.  

Now I know.  The Suspension Rod died.  It is still under warranty so I went to the store and asked about what to so  They said since it is under a year, they will do it.  Maybe any time from Saturday to Tuesday.   I will get ready to go to a public dryer  :-(

I'm napping but dictating nonetheless...and she woofed down something to eat before they get here.  

Grrrr is what she said.  I said " I want my treats."  (she gave them to me several hours ago, but more would be nice.)

I have had such a good day!

Kitties!  the Vitamin B12 has had several weeks to work in me and I have felt pretty decently.  I am eating a bit.  Sometimes Mom has had to open 4 cans to get the content of one can into me.  But I'm worth it.  

To change the subject a moment...Mom started on that document again..I came from nowhere and got onto the desk and started onto the keyboard.  Mom scooped me up with both arms and put me outside the room.

Here I am again!  Just got up to help with the keyboarding.  She moved it over yo where it is difficult to type..off the extreme left side... and I am guarding her.   But she was just typing my dictation. 

THIS says it all, doesn't it?


 Mom said she is going to upload 2 videos to uTube...see you in the funny papers.  Mommy doesn't know what she's doing.    They are on her page on Utube successfully  Just can't seem to post them here.

OK, Fellers and Kitties

 Welp, As you know I was an irritated Mom last evening but me and Her, we settled in the new scratched up chair and had some premium lap time for over an hour an hour or so before bed and she was on my face or next to it, all night.

I think you already know this all  of her furriends, but I will say it anyway.  She was very annoying but I never said anything to her.  When I did speak, it was in the usual low tones.  She is still the Ruler here.  Just the Servant got irritated.  Speaking of that, there was some excellent advice given.  For pity sake, close the DOOR! Better her outside of it complaining than me inside of it with her, complaining!  Gotcha, and I will do as you all said.  Terry, if you see this, her tummy settled and she asked for supper.  (and treats).

Here is this morning right after her methemizole treatment to her sweet ear.  It's always treat time right after meds.  So she is in her room waiting.  What you see is her going to all the places her treats are waiting.  Beddie, tree, two levels of it, behind the tree on a mat by the heat vent, in the PTU and in her cloud strewn little house.

If I had Fireworks!

 You know, much as I treasure this girl, I am so you-know-whatted-at her right now.  

I am sitting here trying to do an extremely important thing on- line.  It regards her favorite brother who passed away in 2022.  She came up on the desk and stepped on the keyboard.  The process said "don't hit the back button throughout as it will erase all your data."  Turned out true.  It was a crucial thing at that moment...all of it is..and ding danged if she didn't do it AGAIN!  She voluntarily left  then and threw up a large watery mess on the carpet.  Got that cleaned up, fuming...and sat down to hear the heaving of another go-round.  Up leaving the computer, and cleaning another wet mess.  Then a third one after just re-sitting down.  Can't find several down loaded things that are crucial and here she is agin next to the keyboard.  

So I give for today.  Need to look for 2 more documents anyway. I'm irritated and not liking the attempts to lick the lotion off my arms and hands.  For the moment, it's just not my day.  So while this is unlike me through all the years of blogging, I am showing you the other side of me.  A irritated Mom.


What I am using just now as a screen saver.

Howdy

 It's me, Katie Isabella.  

Mom has been busy..more than usual and she hopes my friends will forgive her and me.  And, for me until the B12 shot I have been feeling a bit down.  

BUT Kat came over and joined me UTB all day.  


We're smack dab in the middle...UTB

Mom told Kat's Mom that she could hear giggles for awhile and the snap of crunchy treats...then...snores!  I will say after we told one another everything there is to tell...and ate till we were busting...we MAY have been slightly sleepy.  Maybe.  I invited him to stay over.  so far so good.

Grooming on Monday...Ewwww.

Kitties!!  I heard Mom calling the ebil v-e-t to get my claws cutted, my ears cleaned!! and another Vitamin B shot.  I have to go Monday! IF she thinks she can gather me up. The first 12 years I lived here I NEVER said a word about being gathered up and ushered not stuffed...into the PTU.  Now it's stuffed and no idea why I changed.  I am also giving her some grief when she tries to anoint my ear with methemizole.  I think it's because I added 2 and 2 and come up with allergy as to why I am scratching my head and ear area so much.  Sure as tarnation don't want more of the stuff!  Mom says don't suggest pills.  Her reply is: "You GOTTA be kidding!"  She said don't even go there--- and I think she is sending you the stink eye. for thinking it..in advance! 

Mom just crammed down a sandwich and pickles for lunch.  She's going to do her physical stuffs to keep in shape. Me, I am camped out by the heat register though it is 58F and not likely to start spouting heat anytime soon. 

Wish I knew someone who would replace the that closet door knob.  It's all wobbly.  Mom said the screw driver isn't helping as on the other side of the door, hardware fell out of it who knows when.  Unless it is something that lines up with her career, no household things need apply to her for fixinatin'.  Ain't gonna happen. I can't do it for her...my claws get in the way.  

She said the daffodils leaves...'spears' she calls them, are up and so are the tulip & hyacinth ones.  One brave Daff even opened two blooms.  She also allowed as how her roses are making tiny red leaves...wheeeee. She has asked her lawn mower man if he will transplant the pitiful rose up by the  front fence to the rose bed for her.  ( Told ya, she's as useless as her favorite sayin'....mammary glands on a boar hog.) 

Well..she has to get trotting now, and I hope I will remain undisturbed.

This is far and above Mom's fave cartoon.  SO true.  

  

Mom loves me a whole lot! Even tho for the first time in all my lives, I am clawing her new chair.
