working.

So, here I am, back again, and so soon. Right now I'm at work. Doing security. The place I'm at is really exciting, as in totally mind numbingly boring. On the plus, I finally found a way past some of the filters so I can actually do some blogging and reading.
I've been here since 7am, and I get off in an hour. I was there the same amount of time yesterday, and I'll be back again tomorrow for more of the same. Happy 4th of July, everyone, by the way.
I've so far read about a book and 3/4ths, watched over 10 hours of movies.. and played quite a few games. I've also taken a nice walk around the area I'm guarding and found raccoon tracks as well as this kind of neat wild flower. Ok, it's a weed, but to me it's beautiful, so I pulled one up and I'm going to try and get it to grow. I'll post pictures later. Oh, I've also looked up all sorts of stuff. nothing illicit, mind you. just weird things. Like uses for stale beer.
I'd still rather be here then at the deli.
I'm searching for a job in my field, with not a lot of luck, but next week, I'm sending out a bunch of Resumes. Here's hoping one of them lands me a good job. Think of it as a birthday wish (my birthday is Thursday).
That's all for now. I donno, I may ramble on tomorrow while here.

work work work

Sorry, folks, Been crazy-busy! I've been working every day for about three weeks. This update is just going to be a quick one.

Anyway, I thought I'd let everyone know that some stuff has been going on with the cats. Firstly, I've been working on a website dedicated to Mukki (mostly. the others will have their own pages on it.)

Secondly, Mom's cat, Belle, accidentally fell off mom's porch. It's glassed and screened in, but my Uncle had come in to clean the windows, and hadn't popped the screen back correctly on this one. It looked fine, however. Belle must have seen a bird or something and went out after it....and strait down. THEN she apparently went around the side of the house (having realized I wasn't home and she wasn't getting in though by patio) and tangled with the gopher that lives in the yard (he has a borrow right there, we've blocked it off). She then found her way onto Mom's front stoop. She seemed fine...until she started limping. So we brought her to the vet (remember, we didn't know about the gopher fight.) at 11 at night. needless to say, it took a lot of money, and powerful meds to get her all better. And she is all better. Though, her shaved leg looks really stupid.

Next, the cats all caught a stomach parasite from Belle (Copper may have had it as well) so we spent five days doseing everyone 2 times a day. At the end, we got to bathe everyone. OH, so fun. (wasn't that bad, actually).

In happy news, Mukki has a show coming up. Garden State Cat Show, in July. He's still not neutered, so he's going to be entered as going for his Championship. Wish us (or mom, I have work, so she's showing him) lots of luck! As for the not neutered....after a lot of thought, and I mean A LOT, as well as a long conversation with the breeder I got Mukki from, we've decided to breed Mukki (after he at least becomes a Champ). This is not something we came to lightly.

I'll try and get new Pics up of Mukki and the gang soon. The little ones have gotten SO BIG!
