Cats are not cheap and they don't care.

Bosco had his dental surgery yesterday. My vet called me when he was through and said he did well and explained what he did. He cleaned his teeth and had to pull four of them. Oh and he has a tape worm! I knew it. I told him to check for worms because I googled his symptoms and everything pointed to a tape worm. Apparently he somehow somewhere ate a flea. He doesn't have fleas but he ingested one and got a tape worm. Both cats do not go outside but there are dogs in my building and I have let them out in the hall outside my door as a little adventure. He also could have ingested a flea from a mouse. I haven't seen a mouse but this is an old building.

The total cost of this vet trip: $1,350.00. Just typing that out makes me want to vomit.

I had a good cry after I got off the phone with the vet because that's what I do when I get really angry or really sad or really happy. I can totally relate to Kristen Bell on that. Just when I think I'm getting back on my feet something comes along that empties my bank account. I know I'm not the only one this happens to but this is my blog so woe is meeeeeeeee!!! My mother has offered to pay for the hotel room when we go to visit my brother and baby Hunter which is really nice of her. I just need to scrape up money for the plane ticket.

I need to list a few things that are good right now so I don't flip out.
  • the guy at the corner store being super nice.
  • the giant bag of Reese's Pieces I bought.
  • the cats don't have fleas.
  • it's super nice out yesterday.
Also, cute vet kitty. My vet has two cats that live in the office. They just hang out in their little beds and kitty towers or right on the front desk.

 Hey! I'm trying to write a check here fluffers.


Bosco is doing good. He's was sleepy when he got back. The vet tech said he was the sweetest cat and when they put him on a little blanket when he was waking up he started being all cute and kneading it with his paws.


Look at all the meds I have for him! Ugh, crazy. The vet expects me to force pills down his throat multiple times a day. My mom told me to wet the meds and then mush it in with food. The medicine for the tape worm must be gross because both cats would not touch it in their food so I had to hold them down and make them take it which was awful. Luckily that is done until two weeks when they need it again. The other pill that I can't sprinkle in food I crushed up and hid in deli turkey. Bosco ate it up no problem. I also have to squirt pain meds in his mouth. After he takes it he looks nuts. His eyes get all huge and he stares off into space. It's really funny.

No if only I could get a medicine for wallet pain?

Ok after this, I will stop talking about cats so much, I swear.

Desperately

I desperately need a hair cut.  My hair is at a length where it's getting stuck in things.  This is not fun.  I'm quite broke at the moment though so if anyone is good with scissors and fine,wavy hair, please let me know.  I'll pay you in bubble gum and mac & cheese.

I have to come up with $870.00 this month.  There was a little mistake last year with paying for my parking spot that neither I nor the woman I rent the spot from noticed until I went to renew my lease.  So I have a double payment of $435.00 this month.  I'm freaking out a bit and praying to the money Gods that I can somehow manage to live very frugally the month of June and come up with this money.  The upcoming wedding I'm going to and the $105.00 I owe for my NKOTBSB ticket are pretty much giving me panic attacks.

Looks like June is the month of boxed wine and crazy long hair.
