mother's day & tornadoes

just a quickie before i go to bed.

first of all, happy mother's day!
word up to all the mamas

second of all, larry woke me up at 3:11 this morning
i could not fall back to sleep (even though i had just gone to be two hours earlier)
so i came down stairs to watch tv and check email
all of the sudden i hear tornado sirens (it was storming out)
i put on the news and sure enough we were under a tornado warning
the lady on the tv said she was very scared at what she was seeing outside (she was an off duty meterologist)
and that she was going to the closet under her stairs for safety

i started to panic a bit b/c the idea of a. clearing out our closet under the stairs in our house and b. rounding up all the cats to get in there at about 4am sounded hard. i called jes (in brooklyn) and woke her up to ask her what she thought i should do. she said "get in the closet." so i yanked EVERYTHING out of the closet onto the living floor, put a blanket in there with a few bowls of cat food and continued to watch the news hoping for a sign if the tornado was going to hit. luckily all the cats were staying downstairs with me, so i think i could have gotten them pretty easily. eventually the bad part of the storm passed and we didn't have to go into the closet. i fell back to sleep at sunrise, around 7am and slept until 8:30. i tried to nap throughout the day and i just couldn't. i am real tired

third of all, emilykitty, has a cancerous growth on her chin.
i took her to two doctors and they both agree it is cancer and right now the most we can do is make her comfy and happy until it is her time to go. this makes me very sad, but i am glad that jes is home TOMORROW so she will get time to love on her and maybe give me input on her behavior. for the most part, she is acting normal, but of course i just caught her pissing on the carpet in the dining room about four feet from the clean litter box i bought and placed AT THE FRONT DOOR. as you may imagine, it makes coming in the front door smell REALLY GOOD. i am not sure if the peeing out of the box is connected to the cancer. i am starting to think it is.

fourth of all, i spent a good part of the day scavenging at the dorms at a nearby university.
it is AMAZING the shit those students just throw away
perfect brand new stuff that still has the tags on it- from TARGET
needless to say, we got some new stuff in our because of it.
good times.

fifth and last of all,
my baby comes home tomorrow and i could not be more thrilled
i have missed her so much!

happy sunday yall!
