Sigh….. I know it’s been a while now, and I’ve finally made up with Carolyn over the stupid things I said to her, but I’m still sad and blue by the passing of my lil’ kitty Goober….
Just when I think I’m over it, something new reminds me of him and I’m all teary and upset all over again. Today… for example… I finally got around to going into the spare bedroom I use for storage at the apartment and emptied out his Litterbox where it sat behind the door, for once and for all, taking it down to the dumpster and getting rid of it at last. Carolyn hadn’t said anything…. but I knew she’d been waiting patiently for me to get rid of it and move on.
Yes, yes…… and I know people have been waiting for me to move on here at the ol’ “Litterbox” as well. I’m wanting to get back to reviews, but things keep getting in my way lately…. Don’t worry… I’ve actually got some things ready, but I’m still trying to straighten out a lot of crazy things at work, so it could be a few days till I get the time to spring them on ya…. so keep checking back.
Till then, I’ll say a last lil’ prayer for Goober in “Kitty Heaven” and “Meow, Meow for now!!”
I know…. I know… I promised you all some more reviews (Quite a while back actually…. D’ohh!!) but it just hasn’t seemed to work out that way.
Sigh…. Ever have one of those days? You all know the ones I mean….. where it seems as if the World itself and everything in it has turned to utter crap and wishes nothing but evil things for you? Ever had one of those days that turns into one of those weeks?…… or even lasts long enough to turn into one of those months?
July has become one of those things for me I’m sorry to say, and it’s not looking like it’s done torturing lil’ ol’ me quite yet. For most of this month work has been hammering me mercilessly with hair pulling stress levels…. more unexpected problems with my Credit card have surfaced yet again to give me grief…. and, most terrible of all….. my beloved kitty Goober made another escape from the apartment last week, turning up dead in the parking lot the next day. Worse… it was Carolyn who let him out the door accidentally that evening and we had the stupidest words over it that in my grief and anger should never have been said…… All I want to do these last few days is curl up and cry.
So…. as all you Gentle Visitors might have noticed, I’ve been pretty darn well absent from the ol’ Litterbox lately. I wish I could come up with a good excuse, but between work and my personal life just beating me about the head and shoulders lately, the truth is I just haven’t had the time or the energy to do much other than feel miserable…..
Still…. even though I’ve missed deadlines both here and at Delirium I wanted to at least post something here to let people know I’m still around…. just not my usual perky, happy self. I’ll be back soon….. but it’ll have to be once I’ve straightened a few things out with my mess of an existence. Till then…..
Ahhh… Another day off, and another chance to share my latest thoughts and experiences with all you wonderful visitors here at the ol’ Litterbox. It’s been quiet here at home these last few weeks, and because I’ve pledged to myself to loosen up a bit and take some chances, I figured it was time to share something of a more personal nature with you all.
Lately as I’ve been surfing about, I’ve noticed that 2010 seems to have every blog I read making those “Top 10″ lists a “must have”. So who is this lil’ Catgirl to argue with such a trend. But…. who wants just another tired old list of “Top 10 News Stories” or “10 Best Films of 2010″ or “10 Celebrity Scandals of the Year”…. Certainly not me.
Nope. There’s just no way I could waste your time repeating any of those… it just wouldn’t have the “personal” touch my Diary posts have come to be known for. I know… I know… you think you all know this wacky, somewhat neurotic lil’ kitten pretty well by now. But there are a few things I haven’t shared…. till now, although I’m mostly toooo boring a lady to have as many as 10 secrets for you….. Anyway…. for those of you with a burning need to complete your “Neko-knowledge” I bring you… “5 Things You’ve Never… Ever… Known About Your Favorite Catgirl Princess”.
Yep…. if you’re a regular here at the ol’ “Litterbox”, then I’m hoping you’ll like the new “Look” of the place…. My seasonal insomnia has finally ended, but the warm sunny weather has triggered one of my goofy manic days where I get all silly and filled with a wild uncontrollable desire to shake things up.
Given that, I was willing to tackle the daunting task of editing a new WordPress Theme today that I had found to give it that certain indescribable….. “Nekolishous-ness”…. something to make it feel all warm, cozy, and homey. All in all, I’m rather pleased with the results (and ever so pleased that I managed to do it all without somehow completely destroying the Litterbox in the process… Hehehehe!!).
I know I’ve been absent lately, but with the approach of Graduation at our local colleges, I’ve been one busy lady at work. Between that and spending some time with Carolyn and Goober, my own free time is fairly well missing. Still…. with the day off, I thought I’d touch base with you all and let you know what’s up with me so far this wonderful month of May…..
Spring has returned and brought with it those soft, warm breezes that carry with them the promise of new flowers and an explosion of green as all the trees bud out and we move towards another warm summer.
I’m spending a lazy afternoon at home today working on the computer…. my window open, Goober snoozing in the sunshine on my windowsill, and the warm air tickling the side of my face whispering “Miyuki!!…. Come outside and play!! You know you wanna….”
And goodness knows…. I do so wanna play….. Carolyn is out of town, away for a seminar for the college to Chicago and has been since Monday. She wanted me to go along, but the restaurant was far too busy and I had to be there Monday and Tuesday to do my Kitchen Manager duties….. but I sooo wanted to play hooky and go away with her.
But… in my “cat-like” way, having some private “Me Time” hasn’t been all that bad either, and it’s given me the chance to catch up on quite a few things around the ol’ apartment and here at the Litterbox.
So what the heck is up with lil’ ol’ me these days? Guess it’s time for another “Diary” entry to bring you all up to speed…..
Mmmmm….. The days are certainly getting warm again as April creeps up upon us. Daylight savings time has gone into effect and my annual bout of Seasonal Insomnia now has me prowling about the apartment late at night, full of restless energy…….
I know…. it’s been a while since your Favorite Catgirl let you all in on what she’s been up to, but February (and then March too…) just seemed to whiz right by me. I’ve a few days off from work, so I figured it was time to do another “Diary” update just to sate your insatiable curiosity regarding all things “Nekolishous”.
(I just know all you gentle visitors have been anxiously awaiting another helping of my latest personal tidbits….. So who am I to keep you in the dark? Hehehehe!!)
Have I been busy at work since last time out? Is there anything new and exciting to report? So……. has Neko been a good lil’ kitten or a naughty lil’ vixen these last couple of months? Hmmmm?
Guess there’s really only one thing for you to do if not knowing has kept you awake nights too…. and you all know by now that’s to “Read On!!” and find out.
Sigh….. January, 2010 quickly fades away into the mists of history and it strikes me here on my day off from work that I’ve made absolutely no “Diary” postings lately….
Well now…. we just can’t have that, and as I know some of you ache to know all the details of my boring lil’ life it seemed like the proper time to let you all in on what exactly has been happenin’ since Christmas and the New Year for your Favorite Catgirl Princess!!
Well…. for one thing, January brings me another birthday….. So…. did I get all sorts of nice presents from family and friends?
Guess you’ll just have to “Read On” to find out!!
Well, the New Year is here at last… 2010. After the crazy life changes I’ve experienced in 2009, all the turbulent ups and downs, what sort of new surprises will it hold for your Favorite Catgirl Princess? Who really knows?
But… how exactly did 2009 finally play out for me? Christmas with Carolyn’s Sister’s family and New Years itself?
Guess you’ll just have to keep reading this week’s “Diary” entry to find out….
Well, I’m packing my overnite bag and wrapping a few last minute presents so I’ll soon be ready to take the long drive to Carolyn’s Sister’s place for the Holiday. Time to deck the halls… drink that nog… catch my sweetie under the mistletoe….. and find out if I can somehow be both “naughty” and “nice”... Hehehehe…
But…. before then….. there’s still just enough time for your Favorite Catgirl Princess to wish all you wonderful visitors here at the ol’ “Litterbox” a wonderful Christmas full of fun and Family and all the best as we celebrate the season in style.
Here’s hoping the Holiday brings you all the warmth and love we all deserve at this most special time…. and till we meet again,” A very Merry Christmas, and Meow, meow for you all!!”
Dum, dee,dum,dum,dum….♫It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!!♫
Yay!! Snow is swirling about my apartment window, and icicles hang down to show me that winter has finally made it’s appearance in my neck of the woods….. (I always love the frosty season of winter when it first arrives…. but somehow that feeling never…. ever…. lasts as long as the cold does… Hehehehe!!!)
I know it’s been some time since my last “Dear Diary” update…. but with the holiday season upon us, I’ve been a really busy girl lately. Having an afternoon off from work, I figure it’s time to rectify that lil’ oversight, so here we go!!
