Errand Day!

Monday's do tend to be errand days.  Today I need to call the church office and find out if some things we have are needed for the pod that's being filled to go to Haiti.  (I know that the reading glasses are!!)  Then I'll need to take what is needed over there and put what isn't needed into the ever-growing Girl Scout yard sale pile.  I have found out that the sale is likely to be in May.  ::sigh::  At least we've managed to get almost everything down into the Wreck Room.  Jennifer still has to go through her clothes.  Then I've got to drop off books & a check at my therapist's office and swing by the pharmacy.  Wheeeee!

Once I'm home I'd like to do a wee bit of work around my Lilac tree if I have any energy left.  It's just a baby Lilac.  I'm crossing my fingers since I have two black thumbs.  I do have the help of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde any time I go outside to pull weeds or do the occasional limb lopping or bush trimming.  After all, they need to make sure that Momma is going to be okay.  They're also in charge of making sure that I don't overdo.  Boy do I hear about that!!!  The minute I start doing more than I should there is suddenly a Siamese Siren going off!  ::grin::  Or a Cat-in-My-Face insisting that there are Much More Important things to be done!

I'm pining for the day when a) I can figure out how to fix this darn camera! or b) I can get a cheap digital camera with a flash.  Let me show you why...

Hmmmmm, I'm here, but where did 'my kitten' go??

It was a very cute shot of Zaphy grooming Mister Kitten's head.  ::sigh::  Unfortunately there are much more important things on the list right now (besides bills!!).  Don't forget to get rabies shots everyone!!!  We've got to do that for the four Tims* compromising the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde.  The Rabies Clinic in Rutherford County, TN will be the entire month of April this year!!!  Whooot!!!  Shots for cats will be $15 (so we'll need $60 which precludes getting flea control because that's another $60... meh... maybe May).  The participating vets will have rabies clinic signs in front of their offices.  And another reminder from Da Boys for Spring...

Da Boys like reminding people to spay and neuter their pets...

the only problem is getting them to stay in the bag!!

*For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, in my family we call male cats who have been neutered Tims... because they are no longer Toms.  Likewise, Queens become Princesses'.

How Much is that Kitty in the Window??

Mister Kitten jumped up in the window the minute I lifted the shade.  The sun is shining.  The birds are singing.  For a bit he looked out the window and then he took up his usual pose.  Now Zaphoid prefers a different window pose.  For Saturday's delectation, I give you both...

Ahhhhh, I am the Master of All I Survey.

Hmmmm.  Well, at least I have sun on my back!

Yesssssssss, curl up in the warm.  This is the good life.

points to the clock... which I thought was a cool thing

Beautiful Cats... and They Make Good Footwarmers!!

The love of my life has Mister Kitten on his lap purring up like a storm.  Of course, he is petting him to death and berating him, "How am I supposed to work my puzzle??"  Then he turned to me and said, "Coworker said, 'Kat has beautiful cats.' "  I smiled.  Of course part of the reason that Mister Kitten was so interested in the heart of my heart this particular morning was due to the fact that he was eating an apple.  Yes, Mister Kitten will mug humans for apple.  He used to get into people's faces and try to eat apples out of their mouths.  Soon everyone was looking at me and going, "Why doesn't he do that to you??"  I would sigh, look at them sagely and say, "Because I don't let him."

Look Mom!!  A string!!  I can has it?!?

Last night I had Star and Zaphoid for footwarmers.  Then Thomas came up and curled up beside me while Mister Kitten draped himself across my calves.  Soooooo sweet!!  I just wished it had worked!  I'm afraid I didn't get a wink of real sleep last night.  I just dozed all night.  Oddly enough, I don't feel very tired right now, but just wait until later!  The kids go to their father's house today where they will celebrate Corwyn's birthday with that side of the family.  It will be interesting to see what kind of loot he comes home with!

I need to call the vet to find out when the rabies clinic is going to be held.  It's the only way that I can afford to get da boys their shots.  Getting their rabies shots is EXTREMELY important and I feel that is true even if a cat is purely an indoor cat.  I wish I could afford to go ahead & get flea stuff from the doc but alas, that's out of the budget for right now.  I will NOT buy the OTC stuff because it is HIGHLY dangerous.  Bad, yuck,  ick, phoohy!  Seriously, it can kill your kitty!!  Dooooo noooooot uuuuuuuuuuse!!!  Before I ever heard anything about it I had a kitty start to get sick.  I immediately took the collar off of the cat, and off of the other cats, and then called the vet.  The vet confirmed the danger of the collars.  Okay, getting off my soapbox now.

When I get the shirt for this one, this is the shirt I'm gonna get!!  Oh yeah, momma!!!
