LAST DAY OF RUDOLPH!!

Turned out to be a splendid day at Puppetry. My only calls were to inform people that we were sold out and to exchange someone’s tickets to Charlotte’s web. And one person interrogated me trying to find some kind of loophole to nab tickets that didn’t exist any longer. And I had to deal with the burning aggravation of watching a woman use her kids to cut the line for Rudolph. Way to be a stereotype, lady. But overall we were really upbeat in the office. I even made it from 11:30 all the way to like 2:45 without being hungry when all I had was an apple. Then I got to indulge in my pumpkin chicken. Pumpkin could easily be the best thing I’ve done with chicken. And I’ve still got 2 1/2 cans! To be honest though, there was nothing around to tempt me so that’s a big reason why I ate so well today. Just admitting that to myself. The day flew by despite my excitement for the big surprise. . .

I’M A KITTY MOMMY!!

I adopted two sweethearts today from one of my burlesque class ladies. I met them first and they were really sweet and seemed to warm up to me instantly. I love being a cat person. Then we got them in their carriers and in my along with a lot of supplies that my friend and her husband gave to me to help the kitties get settled. They even drove to my apartment to help get everything set up here. Shana, my walking cotton ball rag doll, was darting all over the first floor while Rose, the beautiful calico baby sister, went upstairs, explored a little and then parked herself under the bed. Shana joined her soon after. I got on Skype with the boyfriend while letting the girls settle in and Rose came downstairs! She was super lovey-dovey out of nowhere as she came to me, then explored, then came back to me and followed me around while I was making dinner. Hot dogs and greens. Yes, I know the greens shouldn’t still be good, but they are! No mold, no bad odor. What’s up with that?? Rose went back and forth between downstairs and upstairs before finally calling it a night and going back under the bed. But not before plopping down on the stairs and growling at me when I tried to pet her again.

Shana remained under the bed. Silly girls. I wonder if they’ll allow themselves to try a new diet. I’m still a bit worried about all the dry food and no wet food.

But oh my god I have my kitties!! . . .and oh my god our un-dress rehearsal is in a week! AAAHHHH!!! I’m not ready and now I just wanna play with my babies! No like seriously, I’m still readjusting my choreography! ACK!

I like having three hours to kill before work. So much chillaxing and good breakfast prepping and personal care to get done. I watched an epic video by Stefan Molyneux about Remembrance Day…which is the same as Veterans day? Listened while I rhinestoned my parasol. So productive this morning! I ate Amy’s Organic Cream of Tomato Soup with chicken and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top for breakfast. It was a perfect size to fill a cup and filled me right up! And I don’t have to pay my heating bill this month because my refund kicked in for the six months of on time payment!! Then today tried to mess with me. My APO jacked got left in the rain last night. It fell out of my car when I got home. Boo. But I got to say hi to my neighbors and finally meet the cute yappy puppy. She’s so cute!

But then I ate two cookies (not the Murphy’s cookies, but just regular chocolate chip ones) and a piece of baklava at Horizon. Oh Day Box… And Tess left me in a panic first thing by freezing up. But then it started behaving again and the day went by pretty quickly and smoothly. And I wasn’t totally feeling like staying tonight and it turned out I didn’t have to. I’ll be back tomorrow night and the night of the 26th. Busy bee! And Kate and Rykie got us gift cards to a gourmet ice cream place as a Christmas gift! What?? 😀

Best of all today? Yes, better than ice cream! I’m pretty certain I’ll be adopting some kitty babies!! I was chatting with one of my burlesque ladies who has two that don’t quite fit in with her big animal family. The medical stuff is all taken care of through next November. And I’m feeling confident about my income thanks to Puppetry. So I hope to give these two beauties a home. I think I’ve decided to name them after two video game heroes from one of my favorite games ever: The Legend of Dragoon. Rose and Shana. Or maybe Meru and Shana. I’d do Meru and Rose, but one of the kitties doesn’t fit Meru’s or Rose’s personality. But that’s neither here nor there. As my mom said, “Cats don’t come when you call them anyway.”

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! KITTIES!!!!!!!!!

So I didn’t eat the best yet again, but I got home and had an awesome salad topped with the left over chicken shreds. It’s interesting to recognize the satisfaction of having exactly what your tongue is craving. It was a delicious salad! Then I got back to rehearsing and writing and some laundry and the other pass-the-time activities. …oh dear, I still need to get some wine for Christmas dinner or at least bake something or buy something. I don’t want to be THAT guy that gets invited out of the goodness of someone else’s heart and not bring something in thanks. Marguerite also invited me over if I didn’t have anywhere to be for the holidays. :3 Have I mentioned that I love my jobs and my co-workers? Because I do.
