So... I got carded for a rated R movie. Can you say the grandma behind the counter must have been blind? I laughed so hard though. I said to her, "Seriously?" and she persisted! Stacia and I were laughing as I dug for my wallet. I commented on how I was turning 30 this year and she eventually waved me off just as I got my license to show her. Too funny - It still makes me laugh.
I've been annoyed by crappy ass park jobs lately. Why can't people take a few moments to analyze their car in relation to it's surroundings? I finally got fed up today. At work, some idiot parked next to me so crooked that the front part of his car and tire were over the line, pointing at my car. It was so bad I could barely had enough room to squeeze into my car. Not that I advocate damage to personal property or have done this previously, but upon realizing that my door would come into contact with his at apart where it wouldn't mark up my own, I felt the urge to just bang my door against his. I did... I felt better. It probably didn't leave much of a mark if any. I couldn't get enough swing on the door due to the lack of room. As for my coworkers here, unless you bought a different car since I last checked, you're all safe.
Nothing much else new here. I picked out shingles for the new roof this evening. Later this week, I have to pick up some more meds for Otto. I'm going to take him with me for a weigh in. He seems to be a tad on the pale side again but I guess they can evaluate that if needed. I'm tired... I ran around all weekend and didn't get any down time. I really need to start writing my friend Laura's wedding ceremony one of these days. I wanted to work on it over the past couple weekends but they've been continually occupied.
Enough of my whining!

Spring has Sprung - along with the allergies...

So I'm sneezing my head off... The low-grade fever I had yesterday informs me that my allergies have morphed into something a little more. Well that and the feeling that my sinuses wanted to explode. Is it wrong when you think you'd feel better if you were to repeatedly bang your head against the wall? It seems the pressure is lightening up and I thank the pharmaceutical gods for that.
Anyhooo, it's been a while since I checked in so I figured it was about time. As some of you may know, I'm recently off a mini-vacation. A friend came to visit for a little bit and we just hung out, relaxed and had a mean Scrabble competition. I managed to come from behind then lose it in the final game... Damn Bingos! It was a good and well needed break. It's actually the first time I've had in ages where I wasn't trying to cram stuff in or stressed about obligatory family time, etc. I actually felt rested when it was over - a little sad *ahem* but rested. Then the cold kicked in...
So what else is new? Work has been fairly busy per usual. I miss the days when we had downtime. It's been probably two years since we've had a not so busy period. I guess busy keeps me from thinking about what I really want to be when I grow up. Speaking of, please feel free to toss out suggestions.
Kitty Update: Otto seemed to be improving. He's being weened off the steroids, but we'll have to see how that goes. He's still skinny. He put on a little bit of weight and isn't so skeletal anymore. He has more energy and is playful; however some days still seem better than others. Today, he seemed a little lethargic. I took him back to the vet a week and a half ago for some follow-up blood work. I thought everything was going to turn out well since all the improvement I've seen. The vet ran some tests on his blood and urine and while somethings that used to be out of whack were now in alignment his proteins are now very high. He told me what he thought it may be but had to send the samples out for some further testing again. I finally found out on Friday that they are fairly certain Otto has F.I.P. (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). I'm conflicted how to feel about it. The vet says that every time they think they understand F.I.P. it turns out they don't. It's one of those diseases that seem to act differently in every cat. The one thing that they do know is, it is an incurable and fatal disease. It's confusing because the vet seems positive about Otto's improvement and fortunately the "treatment" is the steroid that he is already on. Anyhow, I've been so positive then these results came in... It makes his more lethargic days harder.
That's about all I have for now. I'll leave you with a picture that I promised one of you... Here's Ru and Otto sleeping in one of their snuggly poses. This one slightly more inappropriate than usual.
Cheers,
Franz
