I am a stress case.
I interviewed for a job last week. The pay and hours would be perfect. So, the lady calls me back (earlier than she said she would, which is a good sign) and says that I need to go there this Wednesday and fill out paperwork (fine), get a criminal background done (also fine) and get the instructions/location for my drug...

Thanks everyone, for your thoughts and good wishes.
So, I talked to the Vet and it looks like my boy is okay (as he can be). All his bloods came back normal except his uric acid levels in his blood (aka kidney issues). The doc said "normal" is 35 and Beau is at 60, which is only 1 point higher...

outta curiosity, if you don't mind my asking - what food does the vet have him on? sometimes, well-meaning and well-educated vets jump straight to science diet as a result of being trained in vet school to do so, when it's not actually always that great of a food. (pet foods are a bit of a "speciality" of mine - i've researched the crap outta the subject.) by all means trust your vet (and that's awesome that you've got her pager number, btw) but i can offer a second, less official opinion if you'd like 
and wow - your feeding schedule is even worse than mine! we've got three cats, one of which is allergic to chicken and so requires special food and must be physically separated from the other two during feeding time lest she steal their food (she's also mentally retarded and doesn't meow, so we have to be extra careful to remember to let her out when she's done eating since she can't remind us), and then we've also got two dogs, one of which is an adult and the other is a puppy, so they have different foods too, which we also occassionally supplement with raw. and they are a breed which characteristically doesn't really like to eat (amazing, huh - nature's anorexia, i swear), so we have to watch them and encourage them to make sure they actually do. and -then- we've also got ferrets, though they are free fed. but we've got four seperate feeding bins of different foods and an in-depth routine to make sure everyone eats what's theirs. it's madness.

My kitty, Beau, is so old. He's had a great life with me and I with him. He is acting really weird today. I've been dealing with health issues for a few years now (due to old age) and I am scared to say that it may be getting near...

Dental news:
Oh joy, oh rapture!
Thanks again to everyone who gave me recommendations for dentists. I went to an appt. yesterday to Dr. Don Goudy (www.smile-designs.com) and he is the shiznit!!! First of all, the office is all classy (i.e. super nice dcor). Secondly, the office staff are angels. Thirdly, the doctor kicks ass. He is very skilled AND extremely attentive to my anxiety....

hey - I wish you were closer. my work needs anew cocktail watress. there are good shifts open. you'd make about $100 per shift or more, but only work 2 or pssibly 3 shifts a week. if you are desperate, let me know.
I have a huge phobia of dentists. I attempted to go to one to get some long-overdue work done and I had a bit of a panic attack (which I warned him could happen when I had my initial check-up with him). I told him that I just needed a few mins to calm down and we could try again and he reacted very badly....

Thanks for the birthday wish...it means alot to me.
miloryan:
That dentist is crap! I've had 2 dentist that were so cool about that issue. When I first had the issue I was dying but I stayed through it. My legs were shaking like mad but my head was still so I guess it didn't really matter to the doc. The most recent guy was doin a root canal and I got all sick in the stomache and turned white so he let me sit up for a few and then went back to work and filled it in but he was nice and understanding about it.....but I don't think you wanna drive all the way to PDX for that. But then again if you still plan on moving up here....
Holly crap about that Prom thing. I think that is such a bad business move. This site is more of a SF vibe than a Vegas vibe. I mean I'll prolly go but shit I would go to both, much more happy to go to SF though.

Another long time between updates. Ive been dreading writing about my life and myself because all I want to do is scream and rant.
To catch up
Took the cats to the vet again and got yet another medicine for Beau. It costs $60 a bottle! Good thing I love him cuz we are f-ing poor right now. I just want Beau to feel better...

MAGICAL TREVOR!!!!!
An official thank you goes out to consuela (who used to be a member here).
I've been so depressed and stressed lately and this is the only thing that has made me really cheer up since the "cat, I'm a kitty-cat" video.
Everyone watch, dance and feel the joy!

Yeah, I fell into a black hole the other week and was trippn from the anxiety too. Yuck! Hope you're feeling better. You should try and go to the prom this year!
Well, I didnt go to the girly lunch today and Ive cancelled my plans for tonight. I am sad about it.
Reason beingI recently saw my doctor and she put me on new meds. It was quite an emotional visit, which sucked. I ended up crying in front of her, which I hated. Brian was there to comfort me, but I swear, I feel so...

I understand. I feel like a little old lady, carrying around her rattling pill sometimes. (This one to make you happy, this one to make you not too happy, this one to make you calm, this one to make you sleep, &c.) 
yuriel:
Hrm. I hate the drill with the pills and crap too.
I honestly wonder if its simply because we are lacking something all too concrete and physical at times rather thans ome chemical within the mind. Those things are scary.
-hugs-
I hope I wish... that things like help. That is so rotten of the mother..... mine harps me for a job... i am not even sure i want a job of any kind or a life anymore.
Fuck I don't really know what to say I suppose all I can say is I empathize.

I have been MIA for a while now. Not that anyone has noticed. I wonder why I bother to have blogs and update them. I get no comments, so as far as I know, no one even reads it. Feeling invisible pisses me off.
I had the flu for a week and it sucked. I am better now. Oh joy.
