The semester started TWO DAYS AGO and I'm already behind. 🙁

The semester started TWO DAYS AGO and I'm already behind.  🙁

I was so exhausted from not being able to sleep Monday night that I went to work late, got off late, and was so tired when I got home that I didn't do my Calculus homework.  Basically, I moved the cat, ate dinner, and went to bed.

I did sleep last night, but I also found out that I missed the first day of Health class, which was yesterday morning.  Banner has the class days listed as "TR" - which I thought meant Thursday.  Apparently, that is Tuesday and Thursday, which makes no damn sense to me, but whatever.

I moved the cat to another room (the dining room / living area), which is where I napped yesterday morning.  I didn't do that before because I didn't want fleas in the carpet and I also didn't want him getting my dogs sick.  Since he was cleared by the vet and can't get my dogs sick, that's where I left him last night.

We spent plenty of time holding him and petting him, but crated him when we left the room.  We have to do that because he freaks out when left alone - digging, scratching, etc.  I think he still hasn't understood that he's not being abandoned.  Unfortunately, he will be crated all day, too while I'm gone, which probably isn't going to help his fear.  🙁  I hate that, but it's really the best I can do.  My house is so full of animals that I really don't have space to quarantine him from the other cats, but I suppose it's better than being left in the median of 431.

If anyone wants to kitten-sit let me know.  I swear I will take him back after work and school every day, but I hate leaving him confined while I'm gone.  His crate has a litter box, food, and water in it, so he should be good to go.

And on that note I have to go finish feeding everyone, and then shower.  Time to get on with this day, I suppose.

Sincerely hoping I can sleep this good tonight.

Sincerely hoping I can sleep this good tonight. I am jealous.

Goodnight, friends! ❤️


I have homework. This is not what I'm supposed to be doing.

I have homework. This is not what I'm supposed to be doing. But he's purring so loud! 😳


I have good news and bad news.

I have good news and bad news.

Good news:  Kitten is a healthy 3-month old baby boy.  Dr. Long de-wormed him and treated him for fleas.  We'll go back for shots in a couple of weeks if he hasn't found his owners or a new home.  I've been calling him "Lemur" or "Zoboomafoo" because of his ridiculously long tail.

Bad news:  My Calculus book was delayed, so that sucks.  One of my classmates sent me a pic of the page our homework problems are on so I will work from that, but it's not my favorite.  🙁  I want my book!

Also, as a precaution I have to keep Zoboo away from my cats for a week.  Blegh.  I guess he'll be in my bedroom.  (Sarcastic) yay.

Guess who woke me up.

Tort Baby.

They may not vocalize like other animals, but trust me when I say that they can get your attention when they want it. LOL

Someone is ready for his salad.

That's ok. I napped a little. My head hurts. Gonna take some Tylenol, get everyone fed, and try to get on with this day.

I don't know if I slept more than 2.5 hours.

I don't know if I slept more than 2.5 hours. The kitten eventually shut up, but I woke up at 3 and I don't think I slept more than that, though I laid there trying. Pretty sure it's the Celexa keeping me up. 😕

I have been taking one melatonin gummy, but tonight I take 2.

I've got a house full of crying babies and I just don't care. Beau is mad that I've been feeding him in a crate. That means he can't run around eating from everyone's bowl anymore. So he's whining and barking. Lemur Cat is meowing, of course, because I'm not in the room holding and petting him. And I'm on the couch, away from it all because I think I need a nap. I can't do anything feeling like this. Blegh.

Kitten pics!

Finally, a good shot of his face.

The tail on this one! Like he's a dang Lemur or something! (I know the perspective is weird, but he's never still!)
