…is a name of a book Samantha likes and she says the name in a totally cute way. It’s also the name of the problem I’ve been lately. The house is full of bugs, no doubt due to the hot weather but I wish they’re stay outside. I was at Target today and invested in some raid which Ryan’s cousin so graciously picked out because, honestly, who knew they make so much bug spray?! I hope it takes care of the ant-like bugs, the slug-like bugs, the small hornet/mosquito-like bugs (alternatively, they could be giant mosquito/hornet-like bugs LOL), the spiders (not insects but still) and the bees – especially the ants that keep going in the kitty food. Arg! I’ve seen 4 different kinds of bugs in the last 4 days.

Surprise!
Not the good kind like “I found $20 in my winter coat pocket” but the “Oh, shit! The condom broke type.”
Despite the fact that we were told. Despite the fact that we should not have taken him home otherwise. Despite the fact that the adoption center was billed for it..
Phantom is not fixed.
In hindsight, this explains everything (the aggression and yowling). It also means there will be an end to the sleepless nights. However, I now get to deal with the spraying because he’s gone into heat so the damage is already done. Luckily, it seems the adoption center will take care of it Tuesday/Wednesday but this is totally crappy in the meantime. I hate locking him in the bathroom at night but what else can I do?
I look forward to having my sweet, quiet, non-abuse kitty baby back.
You know what would be awesome?
If Phantom would shut the fuck up. Besides getting a muzzle of breaking his skull, what can I do to make this cat be quiet?
I’m Okay
No one needs to freak out like Samantha did when I told her I had a nose bleed. She start sobbing because she didn’t want me to die and wouldn’t believe I would be okay. Now, my sheets on the other hand haven’t done so well. I suppose it’s not big loss because they kept shrinking every time I put them in the wash anyway, so a new set would be nice after all.
I also made it home alive, if not a little delayed. I’m not sure who it was who decided that a major airport should be built in Chicago but I think this person was a moron. The weather is never, ever good for flights. I worried about the weather in Wausau being bad for my flight with what should be worse weather but all my delays were due to Chicago’s weather. At least I experienced a nice rainbow while waiting for my last plane – I sent the picture to Twitpic but, apparently, it didn’t work. Boo.
I definitely feel like a bad mommy. I could tell my kitties were very upset that I had been gone so long so I do not plan to do that to them again, despite the fact that Samantha wants me to come home in May, for my birthday. I’m not sure if ‘home’ is the right word. For the past couple years, I’ve felt like home was wherever Ryan is so I definitely feel displaced for the time being. Anyway, the kitties are better. I cannot believe how big Goliath has grown; Phantom almost seems small! As bad as I feel, they have developed some bad habits while I was gone so I shall need to retrain them.
Speaking of Samantha, she was exhausting as always. Didn’t like me to leave or have friends come over. We played a ton of Maplestory and she spent pretty much her entire Spring break with me. It was fun and frustrating at the same time. And loud. Always loud.
So it’s pretty quiet around here. I think we’re car shopping and I found a Maxima for a really good price on Craigslist. The seller has since dropped the price and it would be a steal but I think we’re going to get a Carfax report first, just to be safe because it almost sounds “too good to be true.”
Now that I’m home, I can get back to watching Netflix on the Xbox (it was here when I returned! Yay!) as well as writing reviews and finally finishing up the rest of the content on Her Realm. I know you’ve been waiting super patiently. I, on the other hand, have not so I think I shall begin on that right away.
