This has happened twice before, and he always comes out of it. It just sucks seeing him like that. So, I don't think its a stroke. The vet says its ehrlicia, a tick disease. I don't know. He will also get to where he will drool excessively. I thought maybe he had a seizure at first, but you wouldn't think it would last this long if that was it.
not so serious but I want to rant II: Redemption

My cable modem and my wireless router both died over the weekend. The modem was luckily under warranty so I was able to go exchange it for a new one but sadly the router was way out of warranty so I had to go buy a new one with money I was not planning on spending. And when I finally got all the stuff home Comcast was having issues detecting my modem for some reason so I had to wait a day till they could fix the problem on their end. So I was without an Internet Connection for the whole weekend.

Some genius decided to do a server migration in the middle of the business day which brought our system to its knees since it could not access the exchange server to pull up the proper phone prompts. Why not wait until after hours?
Oh well, at least I proved that my Google-Fu was strong and I was able to find the current documentation for our system (since what we had was two versions old) and the system was able to recover after two hours of talking to the network engineers and messing with our servers.

Blaaaaargh. It's right after the holidays. I should be sick of rich food. I'm having one of those urges where I want to go out tomorrow and just pig out of fried stuff or anything covered in cheese. Maybe I can just split a burger and fries with my Dad. *groan* Or maybe I can make a mountain delicious cheese fries with jalapenos. I can see myself going for a veeeery long walk tomorrow if I don't shake these cravings. It's been fine lately... allowing myself the things I enjoy in moderation. But man do I want to throw moderation out the window tomorrow for some reason. It's probably just that I had a very boring evening. It helps to keep busy. Oh, look! Books!
That's pretty gouda.

A couple years ago one of our cats had what we think was a stroke. She's been slowly recovering movement and vision, but what's really been damaged worst is her appetite control. She is always hungry. She'll eat until she can't fit any more food in her stomach, so we have to watch her closely, which isn't easy while trying to feed the rest of the cats.
Today she found an empty bowl and knocked it off the counter trying to lick it clean. Thankfully my sister was there, because the stupid cat jumped down amidst the broken glass and shoved her nose in it looking for food. When we named her Mischief (Missy for short) we didn't expect her to live up to it so well. Missy is fine, no apparent cuts or ingested glass, but it was quite a scare. It's tough caring for a brain damaged cat.

Rant:
I started getting really bad acne all over my face when I was 16. Throughout high school and the beginning of college, I wasted money on countless different medications/creams/washes/etc to try and remedy the situation. Nothing worked, but I kept trying new things in hopes I would find what was right to work. It lowered my self esteem, made me self-conscious, and I hated taking pictures.
So now, at 19, I've been looking for home remedies that I haven't tried before. One thing I saw in a lot of places was that dairy can often times cause acne in people. "Interesting", I thought. "I guess I can try going off of dairy for a bit and see how my skin looks. It won't work, but I'm willing to try anything at this point."
My skin is clearing up more than ever in just a matter of days. My favorite thing in the world is cheese.
I am very conflicted on whether I should be glad my skin is looking nice, or if I should be angry that I have to give up cheese.

Goddamn it. Another friend's birthday dinner is coming up and Shannon wasn't invited again. I said something this time. That's just not right. I mean it is a dinner you can't sit and be courteous to someone for a dinner. And the birthday person likes Shannon so it doesnt really matter what the person who doesn't think.
I don't understand how anyone wouldn't like Shannon anyway because she is a sweetheart. Grrr.

I hurt my back. Spent the weekend on the couch full of Robaxacet. How did I hurt my back?
I have an affectionate Siamese cat. She likes to jump into my arms if she's feeling needy for attention. Saturday morning I was heading out to get groceries and I could sense her wanting to jump up so I got myself ready and she jumped up into my arms for a quick cuddle.
After I got home, I basically put the groceries down, turned around, and she leapt up into my arms again. Totally out of the blue, totally by surprise and in the middle of me twisting back from putting groceries down. hurt so bad I couldn't breathe. Crawled to the couch, laid down and that was it for the rest of the week.
Lame way to hurt one's back

That's funny.
Those are pretty big cats too.

The weather here is cold right now... -25 degrees celsius (-13 Fahrenheit for you imperial folks)... cold enough to cause problems with cars apparently. Late last night as I was attempting to fill up my primary driving car the door latch froze open and to make matters worse, the door covering the gas cap wouldn't open either... lovely. So I rig up the seat belt to hold the door shut and drive home figuring I'll just drive my backup car (even though it's leaking oil like mad). Get home, try to start the backup car... battery is dead. Starting to get a little annoyed now, I plug in my trickle charger and figure it will be fine in the morning. Morning comes and sure enough, the battery is in great shape and is turning in engine over no problem. Too bad the engine won't start... I suspect the fuel line is frozen and I'm all out of fuel line antifreeze. Oh, and I also slipped in the garage and took a huge chunk out of my head (big piece of skin complete with hair follicles... yuck).
Damn it I hate taking the bus... especially when I have two cars!!!!!! @#$@#%^@#$^@#$^@&%&^&*^*#%^@!!!!!
