Just Pass Me By

We found my husband jacket. I couldn’t remember if he had it at the clinic, and my friend said she recalled him wearing it at the clinic. Today we got a package from one of our reveiwable things. Yippie I can’t wait to see what new games we get to play. Okay I like gaming expecially when I get stuck on homework or when I just get home from work and need to give my brain a little of relaxation time to think of nothing.
I better call my friend and tell her that he found his jacket. I stopped by management and one of our guys told me we have your husband jacket. I was like are you kidding me. This honestly was the last place and honest I didn’t even think about the office here. I would have never guessed it niether would my husband have. Good thing I went down there to pick up a package but it would have been nice to at least recieve a call hey we have your jacket. It’s not like it’s tea light candles which are great, but still not needed right away this time of year. It’s a jacket in in Minnesota it does get a little cold toward the end of October, well now hubby gots 2 jackets. Maybe before stopping on Saturday we should have checked with management but you know I forgot all about him having his jack over his arm not on him. Oh well, 2 jackets is good and now I don’t have to hurry up and net him his scraff. Now I can take my time and unthread it if I really wanted to but I think I am far enough that unthreading it would be more of a pain in the nick then good. I wonder what we got in our package, I don’t open them I let him open them, with me.

Someone has inserted my cat with a bunch of quarters he been so hyper lately. I wish I had his engery to day. He woke me up at 5am wanting to play, then he wanted lift alone. Good I can go back to sleep, then he started running around the apartment around 9am. Didn’t want nothing to do with me while I was sitting with no homework in my lap. I figure get my homework done first and start looking for a new job. I might have a job but I don’t know yet, waiting to find out if it coming through or not I hope it does because it will be a work at home type job. I would do well with it too, it wouldn’t be to hard even through it require a little of learning how to do it, but I am sure learning the tasks at hand won’t be to difficult considering I am almost done with my degree and having computer intellegences..
I got my laptop booted up to start on my homework, I had 3 discussion questions and to finish my part of the learning team assignment. Otis was laying in the blue round seat, we got when we first moved in, used to be hubby favorite seat. I like the seat but it’s a little uncomfortable not like nice theater seating. No sooner then I got my computer in my lap otis was meowing.
I called him over he came and I went to pet him. He ran to his scratching post, and tore through the living room to the bedroom back out and almost slamped into the window. A couple minutes go by and he back at meowing by the office door and master bedroom. The doors open so I know he can get to his place. After about 10 minutes I got tired of him meowing.. So I went to go get him and did the run through out the entire house and into the bedroom. I picked him up, he right away did the paws around the nick and did the hug thing. Otis is a strong cat, I don’t think it has anything to do with he’s 20 pounds but onces he found the hug position he don’t like to give it up.
I sat down with him and pulled my laptop back up. I am going to get done with everything one way or another. Otis after 5 minutes wanted down, huh you think I going to let you go. I kept him until I only had a paragraph lift to go on my paper, don’t worry it only took me a half hour to type it up. Could have been worst and been an over 1000 word assignment. I got my paper done, and responded to my DQs, and looked on the sites for jobs and still haven’t found anything very promising other then that one lead.

I wonder if I am the only one brought up with certain behaviors on at the table or while eating.  Some of the things growing up my mom didn’t want us doing was licking the plate clean, having elbows on the table, blowing the nose, coughing up flame and spitting it out at the table. She expected us if we had to do anything like blow our nose or pass gas through the backside to get up and leave the table. This is something that is still with me and I am in my early 30.

My husband on the other hand blows his nose while we are eating and I find it discussing and poor table manners I have asked him not to do this because it gross. But he don’t get it and does it anyways, but now if he feels something and I don’t give him his way he don’t like it. I wonder if I have learned different set of behaviors for eating. I almost don’t even want to eat with him when he got a cold, because I lose my appiete.

It’s amazing he don’t like probably 90% of the vegetables I like, he loves those highly process potatoes and rice. OKay I hate potatoes because my mom used to make use eat it all the time, but because I know he loves them I will simply eat them because they won’t kill me. Now it’s like pulling teeth to get him to try new things but fine I deal with it, so dinner becomes very limited in selections. How many times a week can I change up those mash potatoes. I don’t like rice at all unless it with milk and butter and sugar, but I stil will make rice with dinner. He loves corn on the cobb so do I so that a good thing come this time of year. Sometimes I get veggies for just me, but those end up being the frozen ones so that they don’t go bad.

Growing up I wasn’t allowed to tell my mom I wasn’t going to eat something, shoot if I told her that I have it for how ever long it took me to finally eat it. Mom was mean as far as food but I believe this is why I will eat what I am served unless it makes me sick. Now I don’t want to make something that would cause my husband to be ill but stuff that would be healthier for us to eat. 

Last night I ask him if he could please stop blowing his nose at the table while we eat and he got mad and said I was picking a fight. Gee it’s only me picking a fight when I ask him to do stuff that simple kindness for another person. I call it asking him nicely to stop something which I am pretty sure isn’t only bugging me. I am pretty sure when we go out to eat it bother other people in the restuarant who near us. I love him but he’s driving me buggy and since he won’t listen to me I have to go somewhere and talk about it.

I do know he wasn’t forced to eat things he didn’t like growing up, if he didn’t want his veggies he got his way. I am pretty sure if we ever have kids, I will be the meanny and make them eat their veggy but when he home and I am not around he will allow them not to eat them. So they will probably never learn how to eat the things which are healthy for them and will want all the yummy junk food. Most children do not like veggies growing up, and if they don’t learn how to like them they are probably not going to like them as adults neither.

Eating veggies is like online trading, when it first came out people weren’t sure about it, becuase it was something new, but now since we been trading on line for a while people prefer it probably. Grant it on line trading and eating veggies have nothing in common other then the first time you do it it may be a little different.  The one thing I don’t worry about with table manners is not putting my elbows on the table, I will do that. Well I also sometimes lick the bowl clean or yogurt jar clean but not when people are around to watch me.

The rules of manners I hold now are the not blowing nose at the table, try not to pass gas, chew with the mouth clothes, and try to have appropraite conversation at the table. It amazing my hubby gets it as far as watching things on tv, he knows Kitchen Nightmares, Bones, House, and a couple other shows are not good for viewing while eating. But he can’t get the simple table manner of don’t blow your nose at the table. I wouldn’t have posted this if I haven’t talk to him, and since I did that and he choiced to give me the silent treatment on it maybe he read this and get it.

Last night was the first time in a long time I been able to go swimming. On Monday and Friday Am they add more water into the pool so those are never days we want to go. Yesterday I waited until my husband came home so we could go together. We both need to drop a few pounds and I know I have put on some weight since I broke my ankle. Not a lot but enough for me to need to work out.
Grant it if I wanted to right now I could go and work out all day, I would diffently lose a lot of weight but that wouldn’t be the healthest way to go. My doctor told me not to start up where I lift off, grant it I was very active before and yet I am still putting on weight but since I got married I been less active. I think I need to stop worrying about does hubby want to join and just go by myself if he don’t want to, this way I can lose my wieght and not let him hold me back. I am sure I won’t need diet pills, if I exercise and eat right.
To bad I don’t have a dog, they make great walking compainions and you know you have to take them out wanting to or not or you’ll be sorry and have a mess to clean up. I think my husband needs some encouragement to drop to a health weight but he sensitive about it so I have to be careful how I approach things with him. Anything I say can be missunderstood, so sometimes it less of a headache to invite him to come with me. This way it encourages him with out making him feel bad. I am still wearing my brace part time, or when I am out of the house I am allowed to walk around with out it but not to much. At least until November I think that will be 2 months from the beginning of September. I hate being on restriction, but I know it’s probably for the best.

Someone put a quarter in Otis over the last couple of days. He will come up, go to pet him and he runs as fast as he can into the next room, and then he mews. So I call him Come, and he mews some more and I say Come here Otis. He will run into the living room look right at me and mew. Come here, and then pat the chair so he comes sits by it or puts his 2 front paws on the chair. but don’t go to pet because he will be off to run and hide.
I try to watch his food dish sometimes he goes through it faster than his normal speed. Last night I caught it just about empty while he was eating, so I filled it up. Otis has been looking out the window a lot mewing I wonder if he trying to call his friend. It seems there another small squirrel who taken interest in the cat and the middle pot. Maybe I aught to put some nuts in the pot this way they have a reason to dig it up, but then they become to depedent on a human and that never a good thing in apartment building so I won’t do that. If I lived on my own land I think I would do that so they would leave alone my plants. I wonder if squirrels have territories if that why it was always the one squirrel that come over to visit me.
Speaking of pets I don’t know where Otis is, well I know he is somewhere around. I would love to get otis a playmate might help him but not sure if I want it to be another kitty or if I want it to be a pet rat or something like it. I wonder if orovo detox would be effective on female cats.

Lately everytime I load up the dishwasher and put in the detergent I start sneezing. I am not sure why I have always used Cascade and it what my mom used when I was little. I been using the lemon scented one. I like it because it just smells nice and clean.
My husband and I have 2 different vacuum cleaners. I told him use one in the bedroom where the cat litter gets dragged out, and one for the living and dining room areas. What is amazing I never had a problem with cat litter all over my rugs, until I loved with hubby, maybe it because I used to sweep my floor at least once a day if not ever other day, it made life a little easier when it came to cat litter.
Otis I don’t know how he does it but it’s like he try to bring half of it out with him. Maybe my husband and I should look into a Sebo vacuumsfor the next one we get for the living room. My vacuum is very old, and it’s about time to replace it, I would also love to get my hands on a steam cleaner, the living room and dining area especially could use it.

I can’t believe how some people just have no respect for life. Our little friendly squirrel was killed. I am not sure who did it, but I feel a little annoyed. He never both anyone but my plants and my cat, he used to talk to Otis. It was strange watching Otis reaction to it, I am pretty sure he was picking up on something not being right outside. Otis and him used to talk well, maybe more like I am going to eat you, and You just try it kitty because your owner won’t let you! 

He was a little trouble maker but not in anyways that would hurt anyone, and shoot plants and potted dirt well they are just there, the squirrel likes the roots of one of my plants, I figured it out today when a couple of them where up in my middle pot.  I got a couple of pictures on my cellphone I love watching wild life, and I don’t mind squirrels, I figure they are there for our amusement.

I got home yesterday form yet another interview and wasn’t feeling great about all the testing I had to take and seeing him gone just made me sad for him. He is mostly brown, even his tail is brown. I know the ones who where here today wheren’t the little guy who plays with Otis. Because 2 of them were smaller and the other one was very gray.  To bad I didn’t have any moving pods so I could move him out of the view of everyone and back into the bushes.

I will probably have a lot of wild life visiters, and I don’t even feed them at least not intentionally. I didn’t put nothing nice in that pot, at least I didn’t think I did. Next year I will have to be carefuller of what types of plants I grew out there. So I guess this is good bye to the little squirrel who used to love sitting up in the tree and talk to Otis. Guess we won’t have him to life at anymore when he tries to find his way into the apartment and falls of the balcony because he don’t realize he can’t walk on the patio window thingy.

We have a little brown squirrel who keeps visiting, I think he is the same baby squirrel who first started the try to get in to the patio window. Would you believe those things are noisy, and they make sounds almost like a cat fussing about something. He or maybe his mom has been in my potted plants I guess this year we all know why my flowers didn’t grow very well.
Today he was playing on the balcony trying to probably get Otis attention he kept climbing my the patio door on the wall almost walking on the window sail until he falls down. Then he runs up into the tree and cries. Not sure why he running up in the tree screaming or crying but it funny because sometimes it like he is looking right us me or the cat.
Maybe he lonely and wants a free meal which he won’t get. Shoot getting Otis cat food is one cost I don’t mind, but I’m not sure I want to get a squrrel food too. Those think are little pack-rats and probably would eat enough that I would ahve to get horse suppliesfor him. It interesting watch him play around and try to find some mischieft.

I had a hard time waking up today, and getting started. Normally I have trouble waking up and getting my day started. At least work went okay, and I didn’t hurt my self or anything, I wanted to do that until I got home.
I came home and worked on homework, for about 3 hours. I am most of the way done with my test, and completed all my reading. I just have the team assignment lift and the individual assignment with 2 or 3 more questions on the test, so I did complete a lot of work. Tomorrow I will come home and complete my my team assignment and then stat the personal assignment. The personal assignment should take the longest, and than I will probably just finish out the test. This test compared to the others was fairly easy, so I think I will be fine.
I need to get some office furniture for storing some stuff, and another bookshelf. I have got plenty of books.
Finally I got done with what I needed to do for homework and decided it be good to cook hubby and I dinner. I think he should have cooked, because my fingers are burned. I first turned on the wrong burner, that had a pot top on it, and picked it up by the handle which was cool. I decided I would wash it so I grabbed the stupid thing and then realized, the handle stays cool. Ouch oh well. Then when I was ready to pull out the hot dogs from the boiling water I tried sticking my hand in there to pick up the hot dogs. Thank goodness I caught myself before putting my hand in that hot water.
I think my mind is in to many places at once. I can’t say I was thinking about school, but I know I been thinking about my husband mom. She doesn’t look like she doing well, and I am worried she might not be here very long. I guess school work is helping me not think about that, until I leave school work.

I think it time for me to keep Otis awake during the day when I am home. He’s been very talkative at night, not to mention sometimes he thinks it’s time to play. When I try to grab him he runs the other direction and then meows at me. Got clean food and water down, so I know he happy as far as that is. Now when I grab his little lucky rabbit leg looking thing, he shows interest in playing with it.
Have you ever noticed how cats will lay in the strangest positions, I am starting to wonder how they get their bodies so turned with out hurting.
If I was to lay like my cat does I would have a crick in my neck for a year. He likes laying on the chair next to the coach with his head laying on direction and his back half turned a different direction, like his chest is up and his stomachs down. This morning when I woke up I figured it was fair to disturb his sleep and mess with his stomach. Maybe if I keep him up when he wants to sleep he will learn to leave me sleep, or if he wants attention to come up right away when I call him and not play the run away game.
His squirrel friend I haven’t seen around lately, but I think he’s making a mess out of my plants. Maybe the squirrel is trying to build his family cheap hotels. Should see this little guy his comical has tried to get into the apartment, not sure why he would because we don’t feed him or any of the wild life here. Maybe he just interested in us for some reason.
