So this morning I was woken up by Ms Kitler aka Heddy my adorable, yet occasionally almost always attention needy cat. Don\’t get me wrong I DO adore her and she\’s usually pretty good and TOO DAMN SMART if you ask me! I don\’t let her into my bedroom for a number of reasons, mainly because John has allergies and she likes to bite A LOT. I did a \”test run\” of letting her sleep in my room which led to my leg getting bitten because I moved my duvet therefore she is no longer welcome in here. She knows I\’m awake or at the very least home because of the noise. Either she\’ll hear my music, my TV, hell even typing which leads her to crying at my door because she figures if mom\’s awake then she should be paying attention to me.

But she also knows that when all is quiet and the lights are off, its bedtime until the morning. I don\’t hear a sound out of her until my alarm goes off. Marble was like this too, when I still had him. The sound of the alarm means its breakfast time. AKA time for me to get my ass outta bed and feed her. Usually on the weekends she doesn\’t pester me until about 10am or so unless John texts me in the morning. John had to go into work this morning and I didn\’t even hear my phone, but I heard the cat scratching and crying at the door. Which led to me yelling Jesus Heddy its Saturday! I looked at the time which was 8:30am and I was not impressed, then I heard my phone which was the culprit. Since my ring tone could be perceived as an alarm Heddy figured that I was awake. So I woke up, did my usual morning stuff, gave Heddy her breakfast and checked the phone. 5 new text messages awaited me, so I was cursing John because *I* should have been able to sleep in this morning but oh no the cat and the boyfriend have seemingly plotted against me on this one.

John tells me to go back to bed because after all its Saturday and he\’s the one who has to work not me… Then he texts me about a 1/2 hours later asking me what was in this dish he had seen or heard about on the Nintendo DS game cooking mama, Dear God are you kidding me? John\’s spending the night Sunday because he has Monday off, so maybe, just maybe I\’ll get some sleep!

On a random note, John was eating breakfast at McDonald\’s this morning and some guy thought the ketchup dispenser was HAND SANITIZER because of course that would be a common place for such things among the condiments, straws & napkins lol. I mean seriously, who does things like that? Well except for that guy but come on! Its becoming more common for places to place hand sanitizer dispensers as your walking into the store and things of that nature, we even have one at work at the cash. Of course most of this is bred from the \”swine flu\” paranoia sweeping the nation but I\’m a total germaphobe so I\’m a big fan of this concept!

However I still can\’t wrap my head around how one would confuse something that generally speaking looks like this With something that looks similar to this this
I can\’t speak for anyone else but I fail to see the similarities here.  All this and its only 2:30 in the afternoon…

Thank God for my co-worker Krystal who has a boyfriend that\’s a plumber!  My shower, which has been a thorn in my side  FOREVER will FINALLY be repaired tomorrow YAY!  Such a silly thing really, it was a busted O ring on the lever that changes it from a bath/shower not to mention my leaking shower head which had come loose.  Since home depot was closed Justin is going to pick up the part(s) he needs and fix it for me tomorrow which is awesome.

My art show has done well, I raised $225.00 for my charity Rebuild Anselma House it comes down on Monday, who would have thought that people would like my photography so much!  Granted it was at work and I think in part it was because its my work but still its for a good cause!  I also got a few private donations and I am touched that even in this rather depressing state that our economy is in that people still dug deep and helped donate to the cause.  For that I am exceptioanlly grateful!  They\’re So close to reaching their goal and I am proud to be able to contribute to such a wonderful foundation & see this project come to life.  Any suitable prints left over from the show will also be donated for them to use as door prizes and what not.

In case anyone is wondering I have moved my blog titled I hate my stupid customers to here now.  Its still \”up\” but I will no longer be updating it.  The archives are here now, and its just much easier for me to keep one blog as opposed to several of them at once.

Had Donna, Justin and Krystal over for dinner tonight so that was nice!  Poor Donna got sick because she shouldn\’t eat anything with tomatoes in it topped off with the bailey\’s smoothies we created ( 2 parts baileys, 3 parts chocolate milk, 1 part ice cream, 2 parts ice) SUPER yummy!  Good thing I cleaned my bathroom before they all came over.  So my spring cleaning is DONE YAY!!!!!!!!!!!  I\’ll post pictures soon, think I should take some in the morning!

So I called the bank yesterday, turns out that some jackass DID in fact clone my bank card and tried to steal $240.00 from me…  Nice try but it didn\’t work!  Stupid thing (on their part) is that MY bank knows what machine was used and they all have security cameras now dumbass!  So I got a new card today with a chip in it, supposed to prevent fraud.  In any case I am exceptionally grateful that my bank was on the ball and put a hold on my account so that they couldn\’t steal any of my money!

My hot water tank won\’t stop over-filling so I have to leave it off unless I want to use it which is a HUGE pain in the ass!  Because I have to turn the valve back on, and flip the breaker, wait for it to fill and heat BEFORE I can take a shower or wash my dishes.  Because the electrical components are EXPOSED and likely going to short out and catch on fire!  I\’m amazed that it hasn\’t already!  Of course my landlord said that she would be by \”sometime this week\” yeah I think not, I WILL be filling a complaint with the Regie Du Lodgement!  I don\’t care HOW far out of town she lives, I don\’t own this place and its not MY problem to arrange to have someone come in and fix the damn thing.  Along with my heat which isn\’t important now but that\’s really not the point.

There\’s a lane way behind my work that has a few houses there and it turns out that one of them has become a crack house.  How nice!  Apparently the guy that lives (d) there befriended some very undesirable people and they started squatting there and I guess he finally called the police on these so called \”friends\” and the city and the police dept have had to step in and take over.  So there was a team of people in there clearing everything out so that it wouldn\’t be condemned and the managed to fill an entire dumpster that\’s oh I dunno about 20 feet long and at least 10 feet deep with trash from his house.  This guy had papers dating back from 1995.  I can\’t even begin to fathom how someone could live like that.

Also 2 of my co-workers found a baggie with a straw inside, outside of my work…  Cocaine anyone?  Then there\’s this crazy swine flu going around WTF is that all about?  Another epidemic that we can\’t explain?  Its somewhat reminiscent of the whole SARS scare  Also there\’s been a hepatitis A breakout at some Tim Hortons in New Market ON, how lovely is that?  Go in for a coffee and leave with liver disease…

On a final note: Rufor  (whomever the hell you are) your a doucebag!  You honestly think that i\’m going to let you spam my comments about some stupid anti-virus?  Oh please!  Most likely goes to some sould sucking porn site.  Sorry my friend, I plan on doing that already…
