I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Back with new litter box and hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Let poor Ply back in and gave her so many scritchies she collapsed at my feet. Next step, I'll grab some Feliway, which has worked for them in the past as far as anxiety goes. If the problem persists, I'll take her to the vet. Hopefully the deodorizer concoction and easy-entry box will prevent this from becoming a habit. Grr. I don't care about the carpet, or the apartment floors being ruined (the damage deposit is long long bye bye), I just don't want my home to smell like crazy cat lady town.

But, man, that was an expensive carpet.

Juliebird, Nature's Miracle works like a charm. Oz has peed on hardwood and I have noticed until it was soaked in. I would put Nature's miracle down, and let it absorb and it really does neutralize the odors. My house doesn't smell cat lady at all. (I know because I occasionally ask my friends.)

Ooh, thanks, Sue! Can I get that at the store, or online?

Punishingly Intricate

So, I was interviewing someone for a tech writer position today and, when I asked his opinion of the Oxford comma, he responded "is that the comma with the dot over it?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WHAT.

::facepalm::

That sort of reminds me that my dad picked up a book called Eats, Shoots, and Leaves. Now he wants me to whip up a picture of cats to accompany the bit about the difference between cats and commas.

Sorry to break your heart, Pops, but I haven't drawn in over two decades, and don't plan to for something that dumb and uninspired and I'm sure I can steal a ready-made cat macro for you on the subject. Wow, it's like you don't know me. I feel like a time capsule now, only a hundred pounds heavier.

Call him back right now so we can make him define metonymy and alliteration! I'll make popcorn!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

In the ER with K-Bug. Her bronchitis hasn't gotten any better and today her left arm has been numb. So far they have drawn blood, run an ER and there are rumors of a chest xray. The doc didn't seem too concerned but wanted to rule stuff out. Poor kid has been coughing non-stop for the last week. She has finals this week...so there is also lots of free floating anxiety.
