The Kat House

Cruella is handling the Addison’s Disease very well. She seems to be feeling just fine, and her vet appointment on Thursday confirmed that her electrolytes are still in balance. She has another appointment to check her electrolytes this coming Thursday, followed by an appointment on Friday to recheck her thyroid function and receive [...]

I’m not much of an outdoorsy person, especially with the kind of heat we’ve had lately in East Tennessee. It’s currently 91 degrees, and it’s only the beginning of June! It wouldn’t be so bad if there were a breeze blowing, but the air is still. I’ve been staying inside as much [...]

With all the stresses of adulthood, it sure would be nice to be a kid again.  Mom and Dad paying all the bills, cooking dinner, driving us to and fro - man, we had it made, didn’t we?  Spring break, summer vacation, winter holidays.  Those things seem so great now, yet most of us hated [...]

I think today was one of the worst days of my life.  It all started when I took Cruella to the vet for the repeat of her test that got botched last week.   I always have trouble getting her out of the car when we get to the vet hospital, and I can understand why.  [...]

You know what just chaps my behind?  Men who think women are incapable of doing anything that requires a little technical know-how.  I’ll admit that I can’t hook up a DVD player to save my own life, but when it comes to computers, I’m just as able as most guys - and more than some.

I have always believed in choosing my friends based on the people they are today - not what they were like in the past. After all, none of us are perfect, and we all have the ability to change. A few years ago, I would have told you that I have always selected [...]

I hate moving. I sold my old house and bought a new one nearly a year ago, and I really hope that’s the last time I ever have to move. I did it the hard way - loaded up my car and made about a thousand trips back and forth between the old [...]

My new cell phone has taken to calling people without my knowledge. When I got to work this morning, I noticed that it had made calls during the drive. To those who may have answered and heard a radio show about bridesmaids who are never brides, I offer my sincere apologies. And [...]

Today was the big day. I took, and passed, my PHR exam! It was the most unpleasant, as well as the most rewarding, experience of my life. I finished with a gigantic headache and an hour and a half left on the clock.
I should receive my score within two to three [...]
