Week in the life of…

I told myself I’d blog every other day. Oops :razz: Guess that means I’ve been pretty busy!

Last weekend we took the cats to the vet for annual injections. I locked the cat flap and shut the room to their room the night before so they wouldn’t disappear. First thing in the morning I went down and fed them. The room looked like a bomb had hit it. They’d managed to knock a massive box of cat food into their water bowls (no idea how since it was firmly lodged on a bookshelf), spilling water everywhere and soaking the box through. I think they may have been fighting a bit since they aren’t used to being shut in an enclosed space.

I went back to my room, went downstairs again about half an hour later – to find that they’d all disappeared. Somehow they’d managed to unlock the cat flap and escape. Sigh :roll: I panicked, because we had to leave for the vet about fifteen minutes after that. But luckily we got two out of three back in time – luckily the weather was quite crappy and they didn’t want to wander far from home. Chief had to be taken to the vet separately on Tuesday though. But it might have turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as three cats at once (especially ones as intelligent as these) are quite a handful.

They got on fine at the vets – Halo has to have suncream on his ears (who knew cats with white ears can develop sun burn and skin cancer fairly easily?), and Sin might have problems with his teeth in the future, but for now they’re just fine.

Saturday I went out for a meal with Joe, and Sunday was spent doing various household chores (thrilling), although we did cook a nice Sunday lunch and I made a chocolate and strawberry tart for dessert. Lovely wih some Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food frozen yoghurt, if not very healthy!

Monday evening I went to the dentist, and have to go back next week for an appointment with the hygienist. I could have been looking after my teeth better, so I’ve invested in a Braun toothbrush (£80 on Amazon, £160 RRP!) which sounds great. Also investing in Listerine, although I have read that it’s bad for you to use over a long period of time – who knows? :!: I’m spending a lot of money on stuff at the moment; 2010 is definitely my year of spending. I still have my eye on a few things from Amazon, memory cards for my camera, a new computer – possibly an iMac – for my parents, lots of stuff for the cats and a new garden. I should be saving money for my holiday though (28 days to go, yay!).

Tuesday evening I spent with Rich, and we played quite a bit of Dominion. I won one game out of about three or four, probably because it’s a strategy game and my strategies as quite short term rather than long-term :razz: I like the game, but I don’t think I’m getting any better at it!

I was tempted to blog the other day but just wasn’t inspired. I even tried searching the net for blog ideas- they were mostly rubbish, and either extremely tongue in cheek or completely useless. On the plus side, it’s given me a good idea for a subpage! Or maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places – where do you look for blog inspiration?

I’m still as tired as ever – yawning constantly etc – but I’ve found that if I get home and make myself busy doing stuff rather than just lying on the sofa, then I seem to be able to muster up enough energy to keep going. The days are absolutely flying by, partly to do with the fact that I enjoy my job so much, but also because this year is shaping up to be a great year in general. I know I’m not going to achieve everything I want to do, but it’s been pretty successful so far :smile:

    The sunburn/skin cancer fact is interesting. I wonder what makes white furred cats more prone to that? Google time!

    If I do anything out of my normal routine I generally take my camera along and post pictures and blog about that. I also stumble a lot on the internet (stumbleupon.com). It’s basically a toolbar you can download that takes you to random websites based off of your interests. Some of those web pages give me inspirations for blog posts.

    Eeks, I didn’t know listerine is bad for you =\ I’ve been using it for a few years now. Haha. I should go and do my research.

    That’s crazy about the cats, but I’m glad it went well in the end with the vet! I didn’t know about the sunburn stuff either!

    As for spending, yes, I’ve been doing a lot of that this year too! Soo hard! =( Haha.

    Oh yeah, as for Listerine, I’ve heard that’s bad for you too, so I’ve been using this mouthwash called “Act”. It was recommended to me by my orthodontist when I had braces a long time ago, but then I went back to it when I heard Listerine was bad. Haha.

    Yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean about not having anything to blog about! Blog ideas online are pretty crappy… The only place I could get some semi-decent ideas is from Livejournal, in their “Writer’s block” section. Haha.

    That’s really amazing you love your job so much! I hope to be so lucky one day. I guess we’ll see.

    But I used to have a white cat, who spent half his time outdoors, and as he got older, he started getting sun spots on his ears. Eventually it turned into skin cancer on his ears, and he had to have the external part of his ears amputated. :sad: It was pretty rough! He ended up looking really goofy, too. But he was still a great cat. No one ever warned me to use sun screen though, so you’re lucky & probably will prevent any drastic measures! Good luck!

    It sounds like everything is going your way. Good luck coming up with some blog ideas. Summer is the easiest time for me because there are so many things going on around my city. I try my best to go to all of them and take pictures to share with my viewers. Sometimes I feel like a reporter because much of the time I am going to these events by myself.

    Well thank goodness that you found your cats and that they are alright =).
    Blogging can be difficult sometimes but sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Hopefully you’ll be able to have more blog ideas more often =)
    I am glad things seem to be going just fine with you =)

    Take care xx

    Cats can be so tricky!!!! I had a cat who weighed like 20lbs but as soon as the cat carrier came out, he was moving faster than my little skinny kitty! It’s nice that it’s been a good year for you, it seems like a lot of people have been having a better time lately.

    I’ve always had the same problem with weight and it being a bit of a yo-yo. never tried detoxing though, would love to know what detoxing ‘regime’ you follow!

    This is my first time visiting your site. I do envy you since you seem to get a lot more comments then I do. Do you have any secret tips on how I can get more comments or do I just have to be paitent? Anyway, keep up the good work.
