The Austin Four and More
Wednesday, January 10, 2007-1:28AM EST
Well, it seems Gracie is doing fine but the rest of us are all wiped out big time! She went into heat last night and kept us all awake. I’m still sort of wired but I’m supposed to be in some sort of good shape to go hang with Blossom, Jetsam and perhaps D too. They want to go to IHOP. Oh let the pancake party begin. After some kid tossed his rooty tooty fresh and fruity all over my table (ten years ago) I just haven’t been a fan of IHOP. Talk about holding an OCD grudge.
Speaking of not getting over OCD issues, “they” want to have a fireplace party at my house. That would be all well and good EXCEPT it would have to be a BYOT party. Bring your own toilet. They know full well they can’t use mine. I have no problem supplying some coffee if they want to bring the wood but they have to bring a Porto-Potty too or no deal. They know this yet they suggested having a fireplace get together here. So when I said it would have to be a BYOT get together they sighed and said, “oooh..yeeeaah.” Like they somehow forgot that they better have on some depends when they come to my house or somehow make a big gulp cup work for them. Oh how soon we forget.
I am always so crushed when I have to say, I’m sorry even though I’ve known you for 8 years now you still can’t use my restroom. Blossom has been using my restroom for about a year and a half now. I’ve known her for 8 years and I’ve known D for that long as well but she has never once used my restroom. I laugh when I say it’s going to be a BYOT party but really, it crushes me because I know full well I’d be all jacked up in my head if someone used my restroom. I’d fold, I’d simply fold. The other night when Blossom was sleeping she coughed and hacked. It was all I could do to NOT go in the room and spray her down with Lysol. I was on the love seat and it was like my eyes just popped open when I heard her start hacking. I was laying there looking up at the neon glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling thinking how very offended she would be if I went in with a can of spray and started disinfecting her. I can not just go around disinfecting people I says to myself. Then I thought about putting a pillow over her head, at least then the germs would be contained… but homicide is worse than disinfecting people I says to myself. So I opted to wait for her to wake before I thoroughly sprayed down the bedroom. I don’t sleep in that bed but Captain does and Captain gets on me, that’s called cross contamination. I’m telling you, OCD can make you crazy.

I’m glad Gracie’s doing well; I know you were worried about her.
As for Blossom, I’m thinking go ahead and spray her.

so glad gracie is doing well also, no OCD here but can imagine how difficult it must be to handle. how is Cap’s leg, is he still limping?
p.s. thank you for the message, we cannot begin to tell you how much it meant to us.

When my mother-in-law was living, everytime she would visit Husband would collect her to put her in the car when it was time to take her home. Once she was out the door, I would run through the house pulling apart all my cushioned furniture. You see, she smoked. I couldn’t ask her not to smoke because I did too. So, I would tear apart the house looking for lit cigerette butts which I found to many time to be comfortable with. She was an elderly woman and often simply misplaced her butts.
It was a stong fear of coming home to a house on fire. My solution? I quit smoking. Then I could keep my MIL from smoking in my house. That was 17 years ago and I haven’t smoked since.
I’m so glad Gracie’s surgery went well. Hopefully she is home with you today and getting spoiled completely. As for BYOT…you know what our bathroom situation is! If folks can’t handle it, they don’t have to come and visit me and I make no apologies! Carmon
