Rain rain go away

Why is it, everything bad that can happen will happen, and usually catch you when you least expect it and can do little to help? Just like a ringing phone when you're sitting on the crapper in the middle of your business: you're condemned to sit there listening to it ring, and forced listen to someone important leave a message saying they are doing something that needs your attention and since you didn't pick up the phone you just missed something super fantabulous. Ok, maybe this story isn't quite that extreme, but you get the idea.

This past weekend was supposed to be dedicated to 2 things: cleaning and cleaning. My parents are coming this weekend for a visit and our house is in it's usual unbelievable state of disarray. They will always say when they come that "we didn't come to see your house" etc. but you know it's irking them to no end that we live in squalor. Plus it irks me to no end that they get to see the mess, and effects the visit in my brain.

Anyways, so my cat Brutus had been sick all week, and as you may or may not have read, we had to have him put down on Friday. That basically ruined that night for doing anything constructive. We basically spent the night being extra nice to our other cat, and me comforting Amber, since he was primarily her cat. She is also sick with a cold/flu and infection, so it's not been a pleasant time for her all around. We sat and watched "Meet the Fockers", what a hilarious movie.

Saturday I went gung-ho cleaning, this that blam blam ... then we had to go pick some stuff up here and there and that blew the afternoon. I still got more stuff done but not much. Later that night our kitty Zeus was up and we were being nice to her ( I know, Zeus is a male name, it's a long story) and Xavier started sniffling. I'm like "oh no, maybe he's allergic to cats! Oh crap do I have to get rid of this one too?". Luckily it turned out to be just a cold.

Sunday I'm goin' gung ho again, cleanin this, picking up that, watched a bit of a kids cartoon with Xavier and Fzzt! the friggin TV went bonzo! So now everything is WAY too red, and even after adjusting it to hell it portrays grass in a delightful shade of purple. Whee... that's just what I need another expense after the vet bill for Brutus.

Oh, and did I mention the car sounds like shit? Yeah, I'm taking it in tomorrow to get them to look at the front end, it makes this nice CLUNK when you have the wheel turned and hit a dip. Life is wonderful.
