Monday Morning thoughts...
Spring here is weird.
It's only sunny and pleasant on the days I work until 7pm and can't get outside....otherwise alot of days lately it's cool, rainy and cloudy (the days I'm off...of course). It's been breezy and in the low 60's lately...Jacket weather. This time last year it was already in the 70's and I was wearing skirts, sandals, and loving it. I wonder if it will ever get warmer? If summer will ever get here? I think it'll sneak up on us and BAM it'll be 90 degrees and humid. At least there won't be any cicadas this year.
Mr. Hottie is in Canada on business. He left yesterday morning and will be back tomorrow nite. I hate when he has to fly out on a Sunday. It leaves me feeling so utterly alone and lonely. He has a tough day today. He has a meeting and will be terminating someone's employment. Not for punitive reasons - just company structural changes. No matter the reason - it's still very hard. I know this is one of the absolute toughest parts of his job and I don't envy him. I had my experience with terminations several ago when I worked in HR. It's not pretty. I wish he were home tonite, so I could rub his back and comfort him. But I won't see him until tomorrow.
Art....I'm just not feelin' it. I started a new piece last week. I'm painting a 'tapestry' on Xstitch canvas (I like recycling old cross stitch fabric that I'm not going to use...it is so sturdy when you paint on it and has great texture). I have a lot on my mind and Mr. Hottie's departure yesterday left me so melancholy. I just couldn't paint. I haven't worked in my art journal in a lonnng time. This week I have my sister in law and two nieces coming to visit - from Wed until Sunday, so I'll put up my art stuff and hopefully will be back in the groove after they're gone. (Maybe I'll get some Photog time in, when we take them sight-seeing...) My 'Mojo' has been very fleeting...it comes and goes. I got on a kick and made all those necklaces that I have up on Etsy. So far, lots of views....no sales. Hope to add more actual artwork soon...and maybe have a 'sale'....maybe that will help. I don't know.
Shoulda just went to the salon...I started giving myself a pedicure at home yesterday...and midway through it, I cut myself with that callous shaver tool. Sliced open my big toe, trying to shave down a callous on the side, and it bled like crazy. I've always been a very free bleeder. Even a small nick can bleed as bad as a gaping wound. It's pretty much Creature-Feature....no fainters need apply! lol....So I have my poor big toe all bandaged up....No polish. Pedicure Over. I shoulda just went and paid to have a mani/pedi...but I was being all stubborn, anti-social, gloomy-girl since Mr. Hottie was gone. Let that be a lesson to me. So I'm wearin' sneakers to work today. Glad I work in a place that no one gives a crap.
Million Dollar Kitty. Do you know they make irritable bowel syndrome medicine for cats?! Apparently they do. And our current IL vet FINALLY decided to give Pukey Kitty some, after years of him being a little barf fountain, thousands of dollars later (after many x-rays, antibiotics, fecal tests, blood tests and EXPENSIVE Rx Cat Food to feed 3 cats---because they all have to eat the same food, together...) and so far, he's doing fine. No 'rreah on the mat near the catbox, no barf fountain....*Crossing my fingers, toes--not the big one, legs, eyes* Not sure how long he will be allowed to take this medicine (I wish it were forever...). If you add up the $$ amount of all the stuff he's destroyed with his claws, rented-hired-purchased carpet cleaners, carpet cleaning fluids, enough paper towels to wipe out half of Canada's forests, his eventual (and wayyyy over due) declawing last year, all his medical tests, medicines, special Rx cat foods, litters, etc. He's the Donald Trump of the feline world....Sheesh!!!! My husband is a sucker. If it were entirely up to me, he'd have been sent off to Trump tower lonnnnnng ago. This is ridiculous.
No News is Good News. Nothing new to report on the adoption front. Just 'hurry up and wait'. Waiting for appointments. Till the next steps. and the next, and next and next.....
Time to go to Work.....blehh

No tales to tell! I'm feeling bad for you and all that yukky weather you've been having. Do you think spring got lost on the way to IL? I bet one of these days you'll wake up and it will be summer in all its hot, humid glory!! I remember those IL summers!
Your tale about the cat was funny. We have two cats and one of them has cost us an arm and a leg with vet bills. Because he kept getting hurt outside we now keep him inside all the time. When the cat goes to the door wanting out HB says "when you can pay for your own vet bills, then you can go out!"
Yeesh! That toe story ugged me out! Sometimes when I trim my toenails, I go too deep and they bleed and I HATE that.
I did nothing much this weekend at all. Spent most of it with my Peanut Mom. It was pretty darn nice!
I'm a bleeder, too. Sorry to hear about your callous fiasco! I hope it's not sore. Those scraper things are scary! Along the same vein - don't decide to do any "down-there landscaping" after a glass or two of wine. It can result in some nicks that just don't want to stop bleeding. Don't ask. I'm a wierdo. ;-)
Ewww...feet are nasty!!!! Yuck. There is a reason for pedicurists..(is that a word?)
Uh. Melissa. TMI!!!LOL....
My weekend was TOO short. Had to work and my darlin daughter had a teenage meltdown. I wonder if it's too soon for valium? Just kiddin...
Have a good week....I looked at your Etsy...I just couldn't decide what I wanted yet. It's all beautimous! I need to revisit!!! I want to contribute to the adoption fund OF COURSE!!!
Andie - I know, but that's a public service announcement that could save lives! ;-) HA!
