If you read Harold’s post, you’d know that we did some yard work today. The yard looks better, but there is still so much more to do. It did feel good to get some of it done.

I had plan on working on some stuff for work today, but doing the yard threw me off. I’m trying to get myself motivated to work on the schedule. It is mostly done, but I still have to make a few adjustments and tighten up the budget. So I’m going to do that and try to go through all the stuff I brought home with me, so I wouldn’t have to do it at work.

I did the laundry today, now it is sitting on the bed waiting for me to put it away………lol Alexis has a thing for laundry and loves to cuddle with it, it is cute………..grin

I’m still lost enough that I really don’t have much more to say. So I’m going to try and get some work done.

Started the day with a friend of mine dropping of her motorcycle to store in our garage. Where she is moving to doesn’t have the room for it. It doesn’t have tags so we had to get it off the back of a truck. No big deal except the back didn’t want to come down on the truck. Harold figured out what happened and we able to open it and take care of the bike.

We then went and did the grocery shopping done. We bought a bunch of stuff, a lot more then normal, but at least we shouldn’t have to get any thing major for the next few weeks.

I spent the day catching up receipts, emails, & finally getting my magazines read. Feels good to get them done.

But now I’m feeling a little lost………in general………….but I think I’ve gone on enough about that this week.

Maybe I’ll read a book or something………I don’t know.

It sucks, but it does go on. I didn’t cry at all yesterday, even though I wanted to. I did cry a little tonight. I had to change the litters and we had 4 since Aurora was prissy and needed 2 for herself. Now that she is gone we can go done to 2 litters for 2 cats. Even if it was just nasty, dirty litters that I was happy to be rid of, I still cried cuz it meant that she was no longer here.

Harold misses her bitching at him when he would move her tail when she flicked it on his mouse.

Working has really helped to keep my mind busy and stop me from crying. Our GM, Cheryl, is transferring to another location and we have one transferring in. The problem is that the one tranferring to us won’t be here for 2 more weeks. It won’t be that big of a deal, but we are still down a manager. We hired one, but she just started and has no training. So my DM had to find us help from other locations. But it left me as the head bitch in charge………..LOL

It is something I’ll enjoy, stress and all. Some times being “stressed” in the right way is enegerzing. I know I’m weird, but I do enjoy it…..for some unknown reason.

I have tomorrow off, don’t know if we are going to do much. I have 3 weeks of Time magazines to read so I really need to get those caught up. I may edit some of our last pics of Aurora. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

Monday started out ok, for a day off. We went and did our errands that we had. Things were fine until we got back home.

We came home to a few messes that Aurora had. We cleaned her up and Harold took her outside since it seemed as if she was going to get sick. It was horrible, she couldn’t stay standing and fell down. =( I’ve been crying on and off all day since.

We know that it is her age and her time, but I keep wondering if there is anything else we could do. So Harold called the vet and we are taking her in later today. If it time for her, we’ll do it on my day off Thursday. I know it is selfish, but I want a few more days.

When it was time for Randi, she had a blank stare, won’t meow, purr or give any indiction that she was with us, would move from one area to another and won’t sleep. Aurora is still meowing at us, growling when she wants to be left alone, as of Sunday, she was still looking at us when we eat for some of our meat. Not that she is eating much at all. It is a nibble here and there….occasional lick of water or cat milk that we got her.

I’m torn, I don’t want her to suffer anymore, but I don’t want to let her good yet. Like I told Harold, this sucks. =(
