Albus went outside this morning to 21 inches of snow.  He saw this ( And the only way over a wall is to jump right... )

Hi, I posted photos of my room here before. I love Christmas, so I thought I'd post some photos of the decorations I put it my room.


( Here they are! )

Ive been lurking for a while now and thought Id introduce my carpet sharks. Hopefully the cut works.

( Weasels! )

I'm fucking tired of you scratching up the corners of my carpet. I just got charged $400 at the old place for you doing that bullshit. I thought you would've learned that I don't appreciate that shit when I tossed you into the wall last week for doing it. Fucking stupid cat!

Yes, direct quote. Edit: Probably troll.

Also:

I watched the mailperson leave their deliveries and whatnot, get in their truck, and then proceed to go out of their way (there's 2 ways to leave our buildings area, but really only one logical way to go to keep delivering the mail to the rest of the complex b/c of the layout), and then purposely swerve to run over a duck, and also getting two of her babies while the rest got to watch.

I don't know if this is SPO or just plain sad... Prolly a lot of both.

I've been walking the neighborhood almost every night, looking for my missing cat (still no luck... sigh...) Last night while on patrol, a little manx started following me. At least... I thought it was a manx. It had no tail and from the look of the gaping and pussing wound on it's rump... it could have possibly had a tail not-too long ago. I instantly scooped it up and started knocking on doors. One resident told me that the cat belonged to a house on the corner, not very far away, but that the owner was gone on business 90% of the time so his three cats and dog were often left to fend for themselves. Greeeeeat.

I took the cat home and quarantined it off, away from my family's other pets. There was no open vet but I got the cat into our vet first thing this morning. The vet said the cat was a manx, so the lack of tail had nothing to do with the other injuries (thanks for small miracles?) but that the cat had certainly seen better days. He started washing off the dried blood and dirt which released a waterfall of puss that I never would have imagined could be held by such a small kitty. Worse part? Some of what I thought was congealed puss in the wound was not puss at all... it was part of the cat's pelvis that was showing through the mats of fur, dirt, and blood.

So, the little manx is going to be at the vet's awhile. They shot her full of painkillers and heavy duty antibiotics for her abscessed wounds. The vet had no clue how she could have gotten this bad or what could have caused it in the first place... but his best guesses for the size and severity of the wounds was that she got hit by a car or a dog got her. He said the wounds were not too terribly new so she was prolly living with them for a little while (a few days at least) before I spotted her.

I left a note on house of the man who supposedly owns the cat, explaining everything, in case he comes back. I told him what vet she's at, the number, and the condition I found her in.

One of the things that really kills me is that for the night I had this cat... she was so incredibly sweet and loving. She couldn't be around people for long enough and even though she was obviously very hurt, she wouldn't stop purring or trying to get close to me. Seemed really affection starved or... something. I don't know. The whole thing was very sad... and even though I can't find my own missing baby, I'm glad I could help another cat that really needed it.

Today marks our first snow of the season, and Virginia's thinking deep, snow-inspired thoughts...



As always, there's more Virginia here.

Just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays from my crew to yours!

Hey everyone, just a short question here while I rearrange my room for the new year.

I know I'm not the only person on this community that takes some number of pills every day.
The problem is I have to leave the bottles somewhere I can see them or I will forget to take them (which is bad considering one is birth control and the others are for my bipolar-ism and I simply cannot function normally without them at this stage.)

That being said, how do you store your medications?
How can I keep them in sight without drawing attention to them and creating an eyesore?
Sorry if this seems silly, but I get all in a huff about little things like this for some reason.

Thanks =]

I'm moving into a tiny 1 bedrooms apartment in a few weeks and I'm still trying to decide what to do about a bed. I was going to take my twin bed from my parents house but this bed is very heavy and I'll live up on the third floor with winding stairs that are a pain. Has anyone used an air mattress before as their main bed? What brands are the best to get? I'm looking into any that are fairly inexpensive yet durable ( I have a cat so I'll need one that's pretty puncture resistant). I'm only going to live at this apt for about 6 months so I'm thinking this might be my best bet.

posted my room here:  community.livejournal.com/ourbedrooms/1791694.html

the pics in the above post will let you sort of see how my room is layed out at the moment.

anyway my room is annoying me at the moment, its in need of redecorating and reorganising. i want to get organised with christmas being next week, you know make space for presents. ( how would you rearrange my room? )

Happy Friday everyone! This is the last Salon post of the year. Next time we'll ask for your Saucy Resolutions, once again!

First, we want to see your refrigerator decorations!

Second, we'd like for everyone to take some time and review the Salon posts from the past year.

The Saucy Salon

It is our goal that these become your inspiration posts. If you have anything to contribute to them since they were originally posted, we'd love to hear from you! It's never to late to add to a post. That said, we'd like to make this the official post where you can make salon subject requests. I'll link back to this thread in future posts. :)

Show Us Your...Salon Requests!

Have fun and bon weekend.

I typed this all out then accidentally submitted it, then hit back in the process and it got lost I guess. D: Anywho, I'll do it again.

Where are places where I can get these drawers? I've seen them in various colors and I don't like the zipper ones at Ikea.

( click! )

I'm planning on getting this, and that's what I need them for. Also, is that the storage unit I should get? Or should I get it from somewhere other than Ikea?

Any suggestions are appreciated <3 thanks so much! (I hope this post all makes sense I'm in a hurry!)
xoxo
