Getting the kitties their shots was a DISASTER, and I couldn't feel worse for them for what they went through... POOR KITTIES

Getting them into their carriers was pretty easy, but as soon as Buddy was in his, he was shaking the whole thing like I had caged the Tasmanian Devil (I think it's too small). We had a 40 minute ride to the PetCo where they were holding the clinic, and of course, they all cried the whole way there.

Corey put Dottie and Rocky in the back seat face to face, and Dottie projectile vomited into Rocky's cage and all over the back seat. I could only wipe out the front of the cages (with paper towels from one of their clean up stations) so they wouldn't escape, but their paws were covered in puke, so I just did the best I could. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait in line long. The vet was very understanding about the mess in the cages... Dottie pooped in hers, too.

They all behaved very well when they got their shots, and got good reports from the vet. They let me take Dottie's carrier into the bathroom to quickly wipe it down with disinfectant before we took her home. It was ****ing gross.

If that whole ordeal wasn't enough for them, when we got home, we had to clean the puke off Rocky and Dottie in the shower because it was EVERYWHERE. I felt SOOOO BAD because they had already been through enough...

I have no idea how, but they were all back to normal by last night, and they seem to have forgiven us already. I think they are all just happy to be home.

Afterwards I had to take apart the two big carriers to clean and disinfect them, then I had to go out to deal with the puke in the car.

I'm worried about putting them in their carriers again so soon and taking them to a new place. I don't know how well they will tolerate it...


So after another day of distractions and getting nothing done at home AGAIN yesterday, I feel A LOT more pressure to get things today. My anxiety is so ****ing high it's making me SICK. I REALLY hope my husband will be cooperative. I need to make a list of things that he absolutely has to do TODAY. I'm not accepting the usual I'm tired, I don't feel good, and other excuses... we're starting to move in 5 days... and it IS the 11th hour, so it's time for him to get off his *** now.

And for you too. What a f******* mess.
I am glad that you were forgiven quickly.
Maybe they vaccinated them with the 2 year vaccine????

I hope Corey gets his **** together to help you.

Kay,

I appreciate the stress your kitties and you went through.

It must have been really hard . . .. and they the shower clean up afterwards not
great for them either.

I hope that all of you are doing well today.

Bobby, I wouldn't feel comfortable giving the cats meds unless a vet prescribed them. I tried giving Rocky Benadryl once (recommended dosage online) to relax him before clipping his nails, and he started foaming at the mouth! Thank God he was okay!

I'm very upset about yesterday...

My husband sorted through a trunk of junk, but he kept just about everything. At about 8pm he threw out the remaining wood from the furniture he broke down, and three trash bags, two of which had been sitting in the kitchen for days, AND THAT'S IT.

So, there are a ton of large items left to be thrown away, and I don't know when he plans on doing it... He is so ****ing lazy, and I'm so tired of his excuses

I didn't do everything I planned on either... I didn't clean behind the fridge or stove, but I finally finished repairing the scratching post on the cat condo tho, something I hadn't planned on doing, but did because I decided I didn't want to take an unfinished project with us. It didn't take long, but what a PITA. The kitties are already enjoying it

I have to get rid of the clothes we're donating before I can pack our clothes because the bags are in my way. I split the load up into 6 lighter trash bags that are light enough for me to lift. The Salvation Army is only 10 minutes from our place, but I may just keep them in my trunk until I get more packing done.

I have to call the assistant manager today to arrange a time to see the apartment. I want to see it today. Corey won't be out of work until after 2:30, but if that's too late for her, he said it's okay for me to see it alone...
I would rather see it alone, then drag him out couch shopping... usually there is a wait between when you order a couch and when it's available for pick up or delivery... hopefully not too long in our case. But he may not play ball. He has no sense of urgency.

I woke him up last night trying to get in on his side of the bed, and then he found me asleep on the toilet again. I'm going to have to stop taking the Baclofen, at least for now.

Hope you get to see the apartment! and get your couch ordered soon. Glad that corey took some stuff out.

When I got to the Salvation Army yesterday they said they didn't accept donations at that site… I would have to go to the one 25 minutes away! Fortunately there was a young woman there who overheard the conversation and said her church was always looking for donations, and a man there helped load the bags into her trunk

I dragged my husband out couch shopping yesterday. My husband was being stubborn, but we finally agreed on a couch… my choice And we bought the matching chair and ottoman. We can pick it up anytime after 2pm on Friday. I think he plans on picking it up Saturday morning.

I have an appointment to see the apartment today at 10am. I can't wait!!!

I have to pick up bubble wrap, then it's back to more packing. Yesterday I packed our clothes, but I still have to do something with the things hanging in the closet. I have some 1/2 packed boxes as well. I'm having trouble deciding what should go in what box… OCD.

I saw the apartment yesterday, and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!

There's laminate "wood" flooring everywhere, except in the bathroom (linoleum) and the two bedrooms (carpet). We'll be getting all new kitchen appliances, but the old ones were in the living room, making it hard to tell how big it really is, but it *looks like* there will be plenty of room for our new furniture. I'm sure Corey will find a nice way to set it up. The kitchen is tiny tho, and I think it will be ****ing impossible to fit our kitchen table in there. Corey can take a look Friday, but he will come to the same conclusion. There are a lot of cabinets in the there tho, and plenty of closet space throughout the apartment. The deck is twice the size of our patio, and the view is very pretty

I'M SO EXCITED!!!
It's TOTALLY different than our current apartment. I hope Corey likes it... I think he will tho. If he doesn't, he will just have to learn to love it.

We have things that we want to replace in time, but I think that Corey will want a kitchen table sooner rather than later. I can buy a smaller inexpensive one (possibly a high top) that suits our needs off Walmart.com and have it shipped to our local store for pick up pretty quickly. I still need to buy new trash barrels and a toaster (only 1/2 of ours works because of the constantly leaking sink), but that's no big deal.

I left enough clothes out for us until Monday, but the rest is finally packed. It was a MUCH bigger job than I thought it would be... my husband has SO MUCH clothing! I also packed up everything in the living room, with the exception of the electronics, which my husband is responsible for. I don't have a much left to pack that is pack-able right now. I expect to be done today. I will be dealing with the kitchen Thursday night or Friday afternoon.

I have to go out today to buy more boxes and pick up a couple of things at the store (milk, TP, etc), and I'm not happy about it, having been out to view the apartment and run errands yesterday. Between that and packing, I HAD TO TAKE A NAP because it was too much, and I'm already feeling run down today.
