Its true, my cat who seems to think I only exist to serve him, ate my baby wisteria. Oh I’ve heard it from the boys…”Oh God mom he’s going to get sick” and “Why would he eat a house plant?” Well first of all I had to explain to them that a wisteria isn’t a house plant, that its a tree. In any case, I got this baby wisteria from my mom and it came in a bag from a nursery where she goes to buy her annual plants and stuff. Then my friend Impostor #3 told me I had to plant it in a pot for it to grow enough for me to be able to plant it outside somewhere. Now both of these woman have green thumbs, something I wasn’t born with. But then again both of these women are bat-shit crazy too so it makes me wonder if there’s a connection there somehow. And that maybe the fact that I wasn’t good with plants was a good thing.

Anyway, I’m thinking that Charlie is getting pretty tired of me being home all the time….
*Charlie from another room* -Hooman! I need more nip for my mouse, I can’t play nip mouse hockey without nip in the mouse!!!!
As I said I think he’s beginning to think I’m here purely for his pleasure and to serve his every whim. The fact that he’s also gaining a bit of weight seems to be another indication that I may be a bit to attentive with his feeding.

But the fact that I came home from being out and about last week to find my baby wisteria completely devoid of leaves lead me to believe his furry fat ass had something to do with it. Then, just as it began to grow again….BAM!! It was gone again, I mean who or what else could it be?
On The Job Hunt…..Still
I’m still job hunting and haven’t yet found anything. I haven’t had any interviews since the Excel interview question debacle, which still bothers me to be honest. But I’m still here plugging away and applying for every job that I know I’m qualified for. I’m still waiting to see if any employer is willing to take a chance on me so that they can find I’m a great employee. Ugh, I sound like a commercial….but oh well I have to sell myself or else I’ll really have to resort to selling myself (pun intended here.) I know I should be posting more often but I’m trying to find a routine that has failed to materialize since I stopped working. I find that I can’t do something and stick with it because either I lose interest or I find it mundane. I just began to start running again and doing yoga, which seems to be some sort of entertainment and interactive sport for Charlie.

Random Valentine’s Day Text

On Valentine’s Day I received a random text from all people, my ex-realtor. I was knee deep in a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia when my phone went off and I got the text below. Needless to say, I didn’t respond, why you ask?

Because why would the jerk text me on all day’s, seriously I never got a Happy Thanksgiving text, or Merry Christmas text or a Happy New Year’s text. So why in the FUCK would he send me a damned text on Valentine’s Day?!?!?!?!
Okay well this was my short and maybe not so sweet post. Until next time……this is the Huntress, saying…”Don’t be a Moth Around a Dim Yellow Bulb, Be a Moth to a Flame, Make it worth the Burn!”
Yup, my cat eats leaves from (some of) my plants too (I guess some taste better than others).
I’m sorry you haven’t gotten another interview or found a new gig–have you contacted any recruiters yet? The more the merrier. I had four recruiters working for me when I was hunting for a new gig a few years ago–they are currently VERY HUNGRY for good workers to connect with businesses.
I’ve been struggling with trying to get back into a routine the past few months myself–I’m endlessly exhausted and don’t have any motivation to do, well, anything. And it’s bumming me out, man!
You came to the same conclusion I would have with the V-day text–his intentions seem super transparent to me. Good job ignoring that one!

Oh Heather, I’m sorry to hear your having motivation issues as well. I hope that we both snap out of it soon so that we can continue to be the freaking bursts of sunshine that we are 🤪. I have two recruiters working for me at the moment. They keep wanting to put me into Administrative Assistant/secretary positions. I’ve already told them I’m done with that kind of support work. But I may have to take it if something doesn’t come up soon. Stay strong my friend, we can beat the funk!

The expression on his face says it all. And of course we are put on this earth solely to serve the feline race. They were gods in Egypt, and have not forgotten.
Sorry about the job hunting. Don’t these employers realize what a priceless jewel you are!

If the cat didn’t pull the roots out, it may sprout again …
My cats are all feral cats, and I have a house full of dogs. The hate between them is ongoing. but at least they are not pooping in my shoe or vomiting up hairballs on the coverlet …

No he didn’t, he just chewed the leaves and gnawed a bit of the branches. I moved it out of his reach and it’s sprouting baby leaves now. Well Charlie pooped in one of my shoes a while back, so CHECK! 😝

Oh Lordy… That silly cat! I assume that he didn’t get sick from eating it?! I do not have a green thumb either. The only thing I can grow these days with any luck at all is sweetgrass for my cats. They love that stuff! You should get some sweetgrass seed and grow some for Charlie. I’m sure he will love it! Mine sure do!
I am shocked that you haven’t found a job yet! Damn. That really sucks. I hope something comes your way soon, friend. Keep your chin up!

I actually ordered a sweet grass growing kit from Amazon. After him trying to eat my baby wisteria yet again, I told his fat ass to stay away from all my houseplants. He stays away from my rosemary plant….🤔.
Sadly my friend, I haven’t found anything yet. I’m getting tired of being home and of course having no income.

Charlie will love you! For a few days anyway. Lol.
I’ve always been a bit of a homebody but I understand the no-income part! Something’s got to give soon, my friend! Keep on keepin’ on, as they say. ❤

Wisteria are pretty hardy when it comes to the leaves, which will grow like wildfire. Getting it to bloom is another story–we had one by our porch for years and never saw a single flower. I finally got fed up with it jamming up the eavestroughs with nothing to show for it and I ripped it out! Sorry about the job hunt–sending positive energy that something will happen soon!

Thank you my friend, those positive energies are much appreciated. Apparently soil and sunlight have to do with why they won’t bloom….well that’s what some of my research came up with after being gifted the baby tree.
