Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

I went to Wrightsville Beach early Saturday morning. I left home about 03:45. Wanted to get to the beach in time to see the sunrise and the Danny waves roll in.

Saw the waves, and nearly 100 surfers, but the sunrise was a miss. A lot of clouds from Danny. Only some sporadic blue sky and sunbeams. I took a ton of pictures and will eventually upload them.

The waves were the biggest I've seen at that beach. Pretty darn awesome to see. The surfers only improved it. They gave a reference point for the size of the waves.

Princess Luna Fiona Update
Luna appears to be improving steadily. She's still feisty and disdainful of the healthier canned food. Her bladder seems to be back on track, which is great.

My beloved, sweet, innocent, passive, non-aggressive (sarcasm? You betcha) Luna girl was playing in the other room. I'm singing along to the song I posted yesterday and she comes running in the room.

She puts her paws up on the side of my bed and licks my arm. Her eyes are huge and she's obviously concerned. Perhaps she thought I was wailing in pain?

I coo at her for being such a sweet girl. Reassure her that I'm okay and then start to sing again. Sweet, gentle Luna stops licking and starts biting. Hard. I have fang impressions in my arm. On my hand. On my elbow. Some long scratches. Only one is seeping blood.

Not sure if she's upset about the caliber of my singing. Or if she's ticked because she came running in to aide me and I didn't need it. Or if she just doesn't like the song.

I was in choir from elementary school through high school. I used to think I could carry a decent tune. Obviously Luna disagrees.

Of course I continue to sing. It's just interrupted by interjections of, "No! Gentle!" and "Hi Sweetie". The latter for when she jumps up on me and lets me (very briefly) cuddle her before the gnawing commences, which is when the former is utilized.

She's only been to the litter box twice in 4 hours!!!! Not sure if it's the meds or the random canned food I've been trying. Or the high priced dry food I started giving her on Wednesday. Glad she's better!

Luna is better. Fewer trips to the litter box. Still hating the medicine though.

Luna has triple phosphate crystals in her urine. And a high protein count. So she gets to have prescription food now. Purina UR. It's $66 for 16 lbs. Thankfully she seems to like it.

Although, currently, she's standing on her hind legs, front legs on the old bag of food with her head stuck inside the bag. Eating. Not sure if it's because she likes that food better. Or if she just wants more food. Probably both.

Pricey food but if it keeps her healthy, I'll keep buying it.

Also, Princess Luna Fiona Fuzzy Britches Pork Pie Girl still despises her meds. With every bone in her body and piece of fur growing out of her skin. At least she's consistent.

Poor girl. She's been in the box three times since I first started writing this - 7 minutes ago. I hope the food works quickly. And the meds.

She's still doing the litter box dance. In, squat, nothing, out, and lick, lick, lick. Poor baby girl. I can't call her Little Luna any more though as she's up to 10.4 pounds. I do call her Little Porker and my Little Pork Pie.

U2 streamed their concert yesterday live. Sadly, I missed it. I was doing the Medicate Luna Torture hour. And trying out new foods on her. Lower ash & magnesium content. She was okay with trying out new foods & treats. The other, not so much...

She hates, Hates, HATES the meds she's on. If I had time, I'd take a pic of my arm. Which is currently bleeding. Or my hand where you can still teeth impressions. And I haven't even given her the meds yet.

I'm off to lure her into my grasp by shaking a treat bag. Then I'll wrap her up in a sheet and place her just so. Then (attempt to) squirt a foul banana smelling antibiotic down her throat. Oy.

What?! She's seriously adorable and it's her first birthday. Of course I'm going to have a lot of videos! Sheesh.

Speaking of Birthdays... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!! :)

I had a meeting at work today at 0700. I got there at 0650 and walked into the meeting room. There were only three other people there. There were about 60 people coming, so to have so few seemed odd. I went to the breakroom to get some ice for my morning soda and saw several folks hanging out.

One guy (head of his dept.)asks what I'm doing there. I said I was there for the meeting. He said it was canceled last night. As he's known for joking around, I figure he was just pulling my leg. He went on to say that he tried calling me but he forgot to have me paged. I said my phone never rang and walked back to the meeting room. There was one extra person there and it was now 0659.

I go outside and call another manager. Asks him if the meeting was canceled. He said yeah, I was called last night. I explained that nobody had called me last night or my minions. I go back outside and tell the folks who were unlucky like me that the meeting was canceled last night (about 2130) and we were just left off the call list.

My day did not improve. I ended up leaving work about 1745. At least I took a real lunch today. Left the office and everything. For almost the entire time of my allotted hour. Woo.

Happy Birthday Luna Love!!

This morning, Miss Luna pulled an empty treat bag out of the trash can. She then drug it across the room and proceeded to chew on it, shake it and paw at it. The bag is riddled with teeth marks and possibly some claw marks.

Apparently, despite being empty, it still smells pretty darn good. Unfortunately for her, I don't have any more bags of that particular treat. I do have 3.25 bags of other treats though. And a tub of catnip. I think she'll survive.

Then again, her birthday is Sunday. Maybe I'll get her some more of the Friskies Party Mix treats. I'm sure they'll go nicely with her other presents.

I seem to be running out of steam for the blog. Or maybe I'm just out of steam altogether? Think I'll go to bed shortly and perhaps take another hiatus from posting. See if that helps matters.

House hunt is ongoing. I knocked several off the list recently. Amazing what driving through a neighborhood will tell you. Besides "don't need to go in that one".

Busy, busy at work. Which is good, job security and all that. Just overwhelming at times.

A bientot.

Happy Birthday The Edge!!!!!

Muffin - CONGRATS!!!!!!! I'm so very excited for you & Mr. Muffin!!!

Cupcake - You so rock. I'm thankful every day that we're friends. Too sappy? At least it's not via text...

Had to post a pic of Mistress Luna Fiona Fuzzy Pants. It's the full moon after all. The one she was born on/around last year. Only 11 more days til she's one and officially no longer a kitten.
