Don’t Fuck with Moms. Seriously, do not mess with Moms – there is nothing in nature more scary than a mother protecting her babies. Rukia is a dainty little stray cat who is nursing this adorable litter of two week old kittens. Now, she normally weighs in an 8lbs, but despite how much I’ve been [...]

My kitty Rukia, who I’ve referenced here on the blog before as “the stray that came to stay” had babies on April 10th and I finally got to see them today! Now, I’ve known where they were (in the storage shed) but I hadn’t actually seen them or gone near them yet for fear Rukia [...]

Here lately I’ve been having a hard time getting up and moving in the mornings. Part of me just doesn’t want to go in to work here lately, so I really drag my feet in the mornings when I’m getting ready. I take a shower in the morning because I like starting the day off [...]

My kitty seems to have had a fire lit under her after seeing how many mice have been caught in my traps. She’s stepped up her hunting game….a lot. And she’s not limiting herself to just mice either. Every time I let her outside she returns with at least one catch, and literally lays it [...]

Magazines knocked off the contemporary coffee table, along with what looks suspiciously like claw marks on the legs. Pillows on [...]

That Joana now has some damn good food in her kitchen once again! Seriously, grocery shopping is no longer depressing and I’ve even found myself able to “splurge” a bit and order food from food delivery companies like Schwann’s again. I really missed being able to order stuff from Schwann’s. Their food is so yummy, [...]

Getting ready to head out to a small Halloween party to benefit the local animal shelter in a few minutes. I finally got my outfit (I’m a pirate, argh!) to look how I wanted it. The hair though, that was a royal pain in the butt. I’d never tried wearing a properly-styled topknot before, and [...]

Excuse my French, but damn it all to hell that freaking stinks! There I am, sleeping like the dead, which isn’t surprising since it’s the middle of the night, and then I’m rudely awakened by a horrendous smell that chokes me up. Then I hear screaming and cursing, and somehow the smell gets even worse. [...]
