I want to be invisible

I've had a very rough day for reasons I can't explain. My life is SO MESSED UP right now,....both mine and my husband's. Sometimes I just need to be alone, and I haven't been for two days now, and I think I'm going to explode. (I'm not kidding.) I need some alone time with my kitty, and some quiet,....and I will be aligned again. Today, all we have gotten done, was going to Ikea. I swear, I just want to get moved into our house, and that will be half my battle with all the 'bad' going on in our life. I would be in our house, with our awesome neighbors,(they are really considered family at this point!-believe me.)AND,....I would be with my kitty 24/7. Now THAT would make me happy. (I mean all the stuff wouldn't be gone,...we still have 'stuff' hanging over our heads,-big time,)...but being w/ my little buddy would help me so much. I know it sounds really ridiculous,...but I have a very special relationship, and connection w/ this little guy. He keeps me sane, now, when I need it the most. (It helps my husband if I'm sane, so he can go flying off the handle!!!Believe me when I say this,....)....I wish I was kidding,.....I'll keep you posted.

Almost a kitty




Well,...sat at the house today, waiting for the second half of our kitchen cabinets to be delivered. Wouldn't you know it?! Saturday morning, right? They said they would be there between 10 and 10:30AM. Of course I was there by 9:45,...and waiting,...and waiting, and waiting. I called them by 11:45, and they said they would be there within an hour, and that their truck had broke down, and they were waiting for someone to come fix it. Well, let's just say about FOUR HOURS later, there they were!-bringing in cabinets,-FINALLY. If we hadn't already paid for them, and REALLY NEED THEM, I would have told them to get lost! Oh well. I was STILL happy. Ended up sitting in a empty house,(nice and peacefully quiet too,) with no A/C, and no TV on,no radio on,(which is more than fine with me,) and hung out with my best buddy,(my kitty Sugar Man.) We had a ball!!! Ate,napped,played, ate some more, napped some more,played some more...and that was just me!!!(I was just about as close to being a kitty as I could get today. It was great.) I got good quality time with my little guy. Much needed on both our parts. I came back (grumpily) to our highrise condo around 8pm. (Just in time for the second NFL game that my husband was glued to!!! )Wish I was still there with my little Man.

It Doesn't Get Any Better?

Well,-you know how it is when you get going with stuff?,...like a house with work being done? Well,---with all the aggravation,disagreements,and scheduling,....it all has been going fairly smooth,-since New Years Eve,-(yes, they even worked the day of New Years Eve.Surprise,surprise.)But that doesn't last for long in my world,(-as I have learned. Murphys Law,-right?)Today,....the wonderful F.P.& L. decided we weren't worthy of electricity,...and after two frantic phone calls,much yelling between my husband and I,(who's fault it was,)and me crying and raging, it was straightened out,...but getting it on in a 'timely manner' when you have contractors,plumbers,floor installers, and electricians working by the hour,just doesn't bode well with our bank account. Are you kidding me?! It was their fault,(they admitted it was a 'computer error', so no one could really be blamed,-right?) It ruined my entire day. I actually tossed-my-cookies as soon as I jumped out of the truck,-right in our front yard! My little kitty,(Sugar) was there anxiously waiting for us in the driveway. My poor little peanut could feel the vibes from a mile away! (He ran under the car immediately.) :( To make a long story short,.....we got to the house about 2:30-3 o'clock, and left there at 8pm, and the electric STILL hadn't been turned on. WTF! (sorry.) I'm just so aggravated, and hating life, I want to pound someone,(preferrably someone at FP&L.) I really understand how people just go off. I swear. And now-a-days, how do people even make it financially? How? I went to Home Depot, AND Lowes,-just for baseboards,and it was going to cost us $500!!! We are talking BASEBOARDS people, NOT gold fixtures. (The house is only 1600 SQ.FT. We are NOT talking a mansion here.) ?????? That is the only 'decorative' bonus I wanted for the house,....BASEBOARDS. Can SOMEONE PLEASE explain this all to me? PLEASE, because it really doesn't get any better than this.
