Yep.

We've got 4 people in one room playing monsters and 4 people in the living room playing survivors on a L4D server, not to mention a few other people playing individual games, including myself.

I finished my bathroom painting and resetting of everything just in time for a full house.

Our youngest outdoor stray cat Zee appears to have some sort of eye infection, and looks to be a girl instead of a boy as was originally thought. Since we need to get her fixed and I was able to pick her up easily enough, I decided to go ahead and bring her in and call tomorrow for a vet visit.

By 2:00am I had taken my 2nd Benadryl pill, dragged her cage out of my room (both due to allergies and her mewing and trying to escape the cage, thereby making noise and keeping me awake), sprayed my room with Fabreze (although I wish I had some Lysol) and drenched myself under a warm shower.

Let's hope I can stop sneezing and snorting and can get back to sleep at a decent time.

Each and every one of us in the Kitty Commune has managed to get sick with some flu-like, sinus-infection, coughing, temperature, crud.

Eileen has been documenting our demise for posterity: Day 1+, Day 3, Day 3.75
and a fair description of how it all begins

When the zombies come after you, you'll know that they spawned from this point.

I was slightly late to work Monday and took a 2.5hr nap while on lunch. Otherwise, I've still been going non-stop. Which sucks. Personally, I haven't had any temp since Sunday, but the sinuses and coughing are kicking my ass. The nose is rubbed raw and any attempt at sleep is thwarted by snot daemons throwing a pow-wow in my sinus cavity.

Ugh. Just ugh.

But I'm really tired of herding cats.

The outdoor kittens are looking for new homes now that Oscar the dog has joined the family. If you or someone you know might be interested in a kitten or three give us a holler.

Two things - first is the email I sent to the members of the household
Second was the chat I had with Eileen
I think between the two they sum everything up nicely

Email )

Chat log )

So, the count now:
Humans 6
Indoor cats 6
Outdoor cats 10 (gained an additional black and white poofball during the past couple of weeks that came out of nowhere)

Schedule of things to worry about between now and moving day next Saturday.

It's a work in progress and mostly for my benefit. Suffice it to say, I could use help painting my area of the house at just about any given point starting Saturday, May 16th, and all of the commune could use help moving NEXT Saturday, May 23rd.

One week after adopting the beautiful, loving, black-as-night Nix(sic) (pics here) into the commune, we have managed to come across a second, just as beautiful and loving calico/tabby kitten whom we have happily named Amber (pic here).

I would have named our black kitty Onyx had I adopted her myself, after the "precious gems" naming convention I have used with previous pets, so Kevin's choice of names is just as fitting. As for Amber, I did sort of use the same convention - the name came from the same image I linked to above while looking through other images of gems and such, but none seemed fitting enough. I'll admit, despite naming her Amber, I'm still not 100% on the name, but there were no full objections from the other commune members.

Now for the story. )

Just a Note

The commune line is a hard line.

If you send a text message and the answering machine picks up, I haven't given it the AI IQ yet required for it to know to press 1 and save your message.

Likewise, our human brains may not quite keep up with the digital translation of your text message, nor can we guarantee that your message won't somehow be lost in translation

It's still your choice to send a text-to-land-line message, but I don't recommend it. Try someone's cell phone.

Also, unless you know we're partying late in the evening or you are having issues that really do require a late night friendly voice, please don't call/text after 10pm. We're getting to where almost at least one of us, if not a few, have to be up at the ass crack before dawn, and unfortunately it's too much trouble to turn the ringer off every night. Besides, if we turn it off then we won't hear it ringing for truly important late-night calls, and that would just suck, because we're always here for our friends/family.

God damn, we're getting to be old folks.

I thought becoming an adult meant getting to stay up as long as you wanted into the night.

"Get off my phone line!!!!" **waves cordless in a menacing fashion at the base and answering machine**

Shit, this is depressing.
