Me an Dave are in Lake Jackson now, we drove down Friday during the day and brought Franklin with us. He really hates the cat carrier but he actually doesn’t mind the car. About halfway there I sat in the back seat and took him out of the carrier and he did fine. He had himself a very long nap, after looking around for a little bit. He doesn’t like it down here though, Dave’s dad and step mom got a new kitten and Franklin doesn’t like her at all. I think he will do better up at my parents. I’m not sure when we are visiting them though, they are on a cruise still in Alaska.
Friday night we went to the awful Fantastic Four movie, we saw it because it was bad and we were the only people in the theater so we could make fun of it. But afterwards as we were driving out of the parking lot we saw a feral cat with a kitten. We still had the cat carrier in the car and we stopped and got the kitten. I got the kitten, actually. Dave and Ben were trying to get me to leave it because “the cops are gonna come” or something stupid. He tried to hide up in a storm drain, and I caught him. We took him to the A.S.P.C.A. and they are gonna get him adjusted to humans and adopt him out. I feel very good about that. I saved a kitty from being another feral cat. There are a lot of feral cats in Lake Jackson, I have noticed. But they are all adults, and there is nothing that I can do about them. You can only catch them with a live trap, since they have never been handled by people before.
That is pretty much all that has happened, I think we are going to eat crawfish tonight. I’m pretty excited about it, I love crawfish!
Me an Dave are going to good ol’ Htown today. We are the very brokes and need to go down anyways. It is my birthday on the 25th and Dave’s aunt is going through chemotherapy this week. She has the liver and colon cancer, but I think she will do just fine. My grandma had colon cancer and she went through chemo with no problems, and she was eighty-four!
We are also taking Franklin with us. He does ok on car trips, and we have him a kitty harness so we can take him out of the carrier and let him use the litter box without worrying about his safety. I hope he does ok, I’m a little bit worried about accidents since I haven’t seen him poop yet. But we have those little “weewee” pads, or whatever they are called, to line the carrier with, and paper towels to pick up messes.
Well, if I get a chance I will post from Htown, but most likely not. But my dad does have a digital camera, so lots of photos of Franklin when we get back! Woo!
We have a new kitty now yey! His name is Franklin and he is handsome. We don’t have a digital camera so I can’t show you what he looks like, but he is so cute! We went down to the place to look at Baby and Lorenzo, because we had narrowed it down to those two kitties, but Franklin was there also. After we had spent some time with Baby and Lorenzo the lady asked us if we’d like to see Franklin also, I figured why not, since we were there to adopt a kitty and it couldn’t hurt to give him some attention anyways. He was such a charmer, and then he got cranky, but it didn’t matter ’cause he was the perfect kitty for us.
We adopted him, and it turns out he had been in the cat hotel place for a whole three weeks! His cage-kennel was big, but I think I’d get stir crazy too. Poor baby! But he is doing so much better now that he is home with us, we had a fight with the food, because he could still smell the dry food that he had been eating, so he didn’t eat until we gave him that junk. But I just got done taking out the trash, so hopefully he will eat his food today.
Um yeah, sorry about my outburst earlier. I was really frustrated and my mom kept calling and texting me about jobs and stuff and I was RARGLERARGLERARGLE. So uh, thanks for listening to my complaining.
I went to the job fair thing actually and I think it went really well. I interviewed to the final interview and they said that they were going to call me in 10-12 days. I’m pretty excited, I applied to bartending and stuff but tried to make it clear that I didn’t mind front desk work or even van driving. I wish it’d be sooner but I know it is not probable to do so. Oh well. I’m in a much better mood now, good stuff!
I just looked up snelling staffing services, which does all kinds of temporary positions and has an office here. But I went to their website and it said there was no market in Denton, so I can’t apply. That leaves a construction, sanitation employment service. I didn’t spend four and a half years of my life getting this degree to work sanitation!! You can do that with out a degree, you can probably even do that without a high school diploma! You can do everything they offer without a degree, its all labor intensive jobs that they will probably tell me I am over qualified for anyways. Because I have a degree. I am so upset. I’m too inexperience to work in my field and I can’t even take internships, to get the experience, because I’m not a student anymore! I am so frustrated that I can not express it in words.
later.
There is a job fair today in Lewisville, and I am going to go. They are opening a new Hilton or something there and need employees. Even though I am going I do not have much hope that I will get a job, no one wants to pay someone with degree, especially in science. Even though it is a B.A. I’m too expensive, even though I don’t care how much money I get, because I need money! It is so frustrating, it is hard to stay optimistic when you’ve done everything you can do and are still jobless. I should go to a different staffing agency I guess, or maybe I should get the numbers of each place and call them, even though they aren’t hiring. I don’t know, I feel so depressed. It makes me feel so worthless. Like, why did I even get up this morning I’m just going to fail again anyways. Ugh.
… it is a series of tubes.
And this little mister is blocking it.
My birthday is coming up soon, I am excited. It is on the 25th. If you need gift ideas I have wish lists on amazon.com
Don’t ask me, I can never remember what I want. I just sort of stare vacantly and look stupid when people ask me what I want for a gift. So I thought I’d have some wish lists and tell my friends. Problem solved!
k, thanks for listening earlier, but I feel much better now. The fact that we can’t adopt Schroeder is good! It means someone else out there is being responsible and saving a kitty and giving him a good home! And now me an’ Dave get to look at all the adorable kitties all over again.
It is a tough decision! Especially for Dave, I ask him which kitty and he says “ok, well, lemme give you my top three, Baby… Lorenzo… oh, Tucker is cute! Him too, and Mister Orange, and aww La La, what do you think about her?” Heehee.
Here is the Texas Main Coone Rescue’s Website if you want to save a kitty!
