Tornadoes with no basements
Okay first of all? There is a TORNADO WATCH for San Diego right now. I do believe that TORNADOES IN LOS ANGELES (like the ones that happened YESTERDAY) are what signaled the impending doom that was coming in "The Day After Tomorrow". So basically, the world will be ending within the next few days, so get to partying.

In other news, the crappy weather meant that I wanted to wear closed toe shoes today but I was wearing my favorite ever black pencil skirt and the only closed toe shoes I could wear with those are my Perfect Pair of Black High Heeled Loafers and I can only wear with nylons which is okay because I usually only wear them with pants which means I can wear knee highs but since I was wearing a skirt I had to wear *shudder* pantyhose, and now? Itchy and chafed. That's all I have to say about that.

HATE pantyhose.

Also? HATE my next door neighbors. Not only do they feel the need to do laundry EVERY DAMN DAY (seriously, every time we are waiting to use the laundry it's because they have half a load in the complex's ONE washer & dryer), they keep letting their darling little calico out and then leaving her there. Mind you, we live on a very busy street with lots of cars and also, it's been cold and RAINING for the past three days. And yet there's the pretty calico sitting outside meowing at the top of her lungs and THEY DON"T LET HER IN. Assholes. Riley is in love with her, so I can't bring her into the house (since I am a horrible [that was sarcasm] cat owner and haven't gotten Uniball clipped yet) but I swear the next time I see her out there I am going to catch her, keep her in a carrier and call FOCAS so that she will be taken care of and given to someone who fucking cares about her.

Speaking of me being a bad cat owner (which I am NOT), Abbie had a bladder irritation/possible UTI last week I think. See, I noticed once or twice when she went to the bathroom that there was some blood in her urine. She wasn't straining or unable to pee, never peed outside of the box, and it was only at the end of the day that she had the red urine. And no, I did not take her to the vet. (PLEASE NOTE: Before anyone sends me angry emails or leaves me snarky comments, she was never in any pain to warrant me causing her untold amounts of stress by packing her up and taking her to the vet, we even did bladder pokes on a regular basis and all it did was make her roll over for belly rubs. Seriously, this is a cat who stress sheds and releases her anal glands all over vet techs while she's at the vet's, and who takes literally days to recover from a trip so I only take them in when absolutely necessary.) So I've been keeping an eye on her and making sure she drinks lots of water since actually, minor, unblocked UTI's in female cats can clean up on their own. And it turns out that I don't think it was a UTI; I think she just peed too damn much and made herself bleed because the cat is OBSESSED with being the first one to use the box after the LitterMaid runs a cleaning cycle so she was peeing roughly 500 times a day. I've been turning it off during the day and at night now, just running it 2 or 3 times a day, and sure enough, she's back to normal. Dorky cat.

And that's enough of that.
