I'm sorry, msbelle. That kind of stuff, it just keeps coming and has a cumulative effect. And having to spend time working when you could be doing all the crap that's nagging at the back of your mind (much less something you'd enjoy) really sucks.

msbelle, I have so been there. I try to follow Kat's advice when I feel overwhelmed, but only come through for myself some of the time. If you want a sympathetic ear, feel free to call or email me. I wish we lived closer, I would hang with you ALL THE TIME! And our boys would probably get up to no good together, but hey, that's just what happens.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I say yes to moving the cats into a non-carpet area - and maybe change their food.
and like everyone here I would come help.
and I am sorry you are overwhealmed

beer. beer is my response.
well and doing some of the stuff. I took the linens off the bed including the comforter and big pink tape over the tears. good enough for now.
with what I already had in a bag and what I pulled from my room with the furniture moving and clearing out and going through the season change over pile of mac's clothes that McPhee pulled out - 1 garbage bag to go to Goodwill.
Mac has gone to bed, but I did half the hall carpet just now anyway and I am sure it woke him up. I'll get up early and to the other half in the am. Living Room will be another day another cleaner rental.
beer.

What Burrell said! Every word of it. Well, except the calling part. As much as I love you I don't even like to talk on the phone to my sisters. Ick, phones, ick! Text is cool!
Oh my, 11:30 my time. My bedtime is 10. I need to go to bed, but I need to not face some of this crap tomorrow too. Just a few more minutes.....

I'm sorry about all the stuff, msbelle. My cat was throwing up occasionally and this helped to stop it. [link] It says hairball, but it seems to be good for making the GI track just chill.

I gotta get me some of that; 2/4 cats are hairball machines.
Quick poll: What's worse, stepping in a WARM hairball in bare feet, or a COLD one?
I'm going with warm.

Tomorrow night I'm headed off to spend a week in Myrtle Beach with my aunt and uncle! I haven't had a "vacation" (if you don't count being unemployed) in... well, quite a while.

Thanks for listening to the vent and the support. I did get a lot done last night and I put the cats in the non- carpeted kitchen/ living room this morning. I think a fairly large contributing factor to the funk is feeling like McPhee hates working for me. It has become so much house and therefore dealing with the pet mess. Maybe I can shift back to having her run more of the errands that focus on Mac stuff and that would help. It just piles on the mind space of not bring liked. Stupid brain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmmm. That's a tough one.

I have now spent way too much time thinking about stepping in hairballs. But I'm leaning towards cold.
