Huey

What is it about cats? My cat Huey, the skinny one, is so picky, he won't drink out of a clean bowl of water. He has to have a fresh cup, yep, I said CUP, of water. The water in the cup can't come from the tap. The only time it's from the tap is when the water is running and he is up there lapping it up. The cup water has to either come from the filtered faucet or from the filtered water in the fridge door.

Now, I had fish in a bowl that I was thawing for dinner. Huey came up and wanted water. Did he drink from his cup? No. I dumped it out and refilled...I guess it was just to stale for him to drink. I filled it that morning. Did he drink out of the cup? No. I stepped away from the sink for a dish and there he was, drinking the fish water!

When watching tv, I usually have a big Mardi Gras cup with ice water near me. This cat goes out of his way to try to drink from MY cup! He comes up and I move it, but he just follows. I'll even give him his OWN ice water. Does he drink that? NO! What is up with that?!! Maybe it's the forbidden fruit thing...or the grass is greener thing.

Well, here goes, my first blog. Might as well do something while waiting to be hired.
Waiting.
They've (new company) taken my hair. That was invasive enough, but they are looking into my credit and also conducting a backgound check. It's for a postion dealing with the government, but I was just laid off from a company dealing with the government. Same location. I hope I get this job because I dread having a to get another drug test. I'll be bald before long!

It's different staying home, not working at an outside job. Different than taking a vacation. You know you are going back to work after it's over. Weird being a domestic goddess with just home stuff to take care of.

No kids at home. Just my cats. One's a skinny mottled short hair and the other is a big, fat orange marmalade.
I do have two grand children. Was WAY to young to have grandkids, but that's life. It happens and you deal with it. I dealt with it by jumping out of an airplane. Then bought a motorcycle. When they are old enough, I'll probably let them ride around with me. In the meantime, I'll teach them how to fish.
