Pauline's Happenings

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. =(

If you had read Harold’s post a few weeks ago, you know of the issues we’ve had with a local homeless guy, who is not all there.

Since then, Harold has gotten me my mace and I make sure I have easy access to it when riding.

I rode into to work Saturday and guess who I saw? That same sorry SOB. I saw him about 20yds out. I slowed down, got my mace ready and saw him do the same shit. Instead of riding on the his right, he moved to my right, and then started to tuck his head down and aimed for me when he was about 5-10 yds out I yelled “You try to run me off the road one more time motherf****r and I will mace your sorry ass!!!!”

His head came up real fast, stared at me, and put is hand out as if to say okay and moved away from me. I called Harold when I got to work, he was pissed off. He called the cops and they sent an officer out to talk to Harold. This one actually took a report and filed it. He knew exactly who we talking about.

The officer said he couldn’t arrest him but next time I shouldn’t even warn him, just mace him.

Harold talked to our lawyer he did say that the officer was incorrect, because when he aims for me and even when he misses it is assault.

So next time, that mother is going down. We’ve warned him and I’ve warned him by myself, so now he is free game. We haven’t done a damn thing to him and yet he keeps trying to run me off the sidewalk. He must have a thing for female bikers, cuz he sure in heck hasn’t tried it to Harold.

I was so aggravated and depressed Saturday that it actually helped me that I yelled and stood up to him. It got some of my aggression out……which I may get into later.

It was busy as heck at work that night, but we still got a lot accomplished so that was cool.

Yesterday was grandma Schinkel’s birthday. It is hard to believe that she has been gone for 7yrs. I miss her.

I’ve just been working. We did try to go out for dinner last night………but of course with it being Friday….lets just say we ended up with sandwiches when we aiming for steak….lol

I had one customer that put a crimp in my day today………the jerk…I may go into if I get the time.

I have to be at work very early tomorrow.

I did take a few pictures of the newly painted bedroom tonight. I’ll see about posting them tomorrow.

I’m not going to really get into it cuz I’ll start bawling, but it looks as if Aurora may be going through her final stage of life. She is giving all the same signs that Randi did before we had to have her put to sleep. I’m trying not to focus on it for obvious reasons and I keep hoping that we are wrong about…..but I’m not holding my breathe. So right now, I’m just trying to enjoy my time that I have left with her. =( I will say that working helps to keep me from losing it.
