He’s perfect!!
Oliver has been with me for exactly a week, and things are going GREAT.
At first I was really nervous about how Daisy would take to him. She’s really spoiled and I was afraid she would be possessive or overly dominate towards him. The first two days were a little rough. She would constantly hiss at him if he got anywhere near her, she even swatted at him a couple of times.
But now…
She has totally done a 180 and I couldn’t be happier. She still gets jealous when he’s sitting in my lap or when I’m loving on him. She’ll look at me with sad eyes like her feelings are hurt. So whenever that happens I make sure to go lay by her and love on her, too!
Now she will lay in the floor with him and they will play together. She doesn’t hiss at him anymore, either. I really expected it to take more time for them to get along. Here are a couple more pictures of my beautiful babies.

I’ve decided to adopt…
Another precious baby kitten. I’ve been thinking about this for many months and I’ve finally made up my mind. I waited so long because Kim didn’t want me to get another one while we were living together, so out of respect I waited. But, now that we don’t live together anymore, I’m going to go ahead and get one.
My biggest fear is how well my kitty now, Daisy, will adapt to having a little one around. Or if she will totally flip out on me or something. I’m pretty sure that she will mope around for a few days but I’m hoping it won’t last long. She’s very spoiled and I’m not sure that she will be willing to share me with another kitty. This is my beautiful baby Daisy…
I went to the animal shelter today and I found the little guy that I want to adopt. His name is Mouser right now, but I would change it. I’m leaning towards naming him Oliver and calling him Ollie for short. I like the name Finn too, though. But I think I like Oliver better. This is a picture of the little guy…
Here’s another picture of him…
Doesn’t he just look like such a little stinker? I love how his fur looks like two little horns above his eyes. I’m hoping to be able to pick him up tomorrow. Happy Valentines Day to MEEE!!!!

It’s amazing what reading a little book can do…
I feel so empowered. I already knew everything in the book, I guess i just needed to read it. I didn’t even finish the book. Hell, I barely read it for 10 minutes. But the entire time I was reading, the book was screaming at me to GET OUT!
The book is He’s Just Not That Into You. I think every woman (and teenage girl) should read it. It really gives you a sense of value. I knew I deserved more, but like a silly girl, I was sticking around hoping things would change. I can’t blame anyone for that but myself. He made it clear (several times) that he didn’t want more. Now he didn’t come right out and say that, but had I opened my ears and eyes I would have picked up on it.
He’s not a bad guy at all. Please don’t think I’m bad mouthing him in any way. I truly hope him and I can stay friends. Not sure how he feels about that, but maybe in time. We’ve been through an awful lot over the 5 years that I’ve known him and I do value his friendship. But, I also value myself and my own feelings as well.
I feel like I deserve certain things AND I expect certain things. I shouldn’t have to settle, and neither should anyone else for that matter.

Looks like it’s gonna be another shitty week…
So yesterday I woke up to find my fish dead. So sad. I had him for over 3 years and I grew sort of attached to him. He was so pretty. I knew it was coming though, he hadn’t been eating the last couple of days and wasn’t swimming around much. PLUS…he had two huge tumors. At first I thought they were fin rot so I treated him with several rounds of tetracycline, but it didn’t do any good. Then I found out they were tumors and there wasn’t much I could do for him. Poor little guy, I’m afraid he may have been in pain and there wasn’t anything I could do to help him. It’s a sucky feeling. Now I can’t bring myself to flush him down the toilet. Gross, I know. But, it’s only been a day and Zack said he would do it for me tonight. I guess this is one of those times when it’s nice to have a man around.
Then my boss called me yesterday afternoon, which is weird cause she hardly ever calls me on the weekends. She had some more bad news. The lady who sits at the front desk here at work…well her husband passed away over the weekend. We were expecting it, but that doesn’t make it any easier. My heart goes out to her and her family during this difficult time.
Also, one of our head foremen was diagnosed with a very aggressive type of cancer. They are treating him with 7 straight days of chemo, but the outlook is grim no matter what they do. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family as well.
I hope the rest of the week goes on without incidence, for everyone’s sake. Please keep the people I mentioned in your thoughts and prayers.
God bless!
