So, I have a social work student...

This is Sophie Cat. See her stare? She is saying "help my girl" (Oliver Lockhart just keeps walking across the keyboard erasing things). So, why do I need help? Well, my social work student arrived yesterday. My very first one. I had done lots...

The Sophie Cat's day as a Social Work Cat

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job? Well, it turns out that Sophie Cat doesn't mind it either. I brought her to work today, this is a picture of the last time she came to work, but I didn't think to take any today. My workplace is...

cleaning (gulp)

So, things you may not know about the dreamer. I am VERY messy. Very, very, very messy. My apartment was definitely turning into a fire hazard (although some claim it was turning into a bio hazard). So, naturally, instead of cleaning it myself, I exercised...

long time no post.

I'm still not posting much. I was out a lot today, no time for writing. Church, yoga, gelati, dinner, tossing around a frisbee with friends. Much to do. BUT, for those of you who twitter... So does Sophie Cat!!! Follow her on twitter :) http://twitter...

My Office

As promised, here are the pictures of my office, complete with my favourite Sophie Cat picture. You'll also notice her as my desktop background... if nothing else she's a coworker conversation starter "is that your cat?", "yes,...

tired but good

This is Sophie cat when I thought she was sick, wrapped up and getting eaten by my giant Tigger (thanks to bestest bud). She's all back to her normal self now despite conning hummus, cool whip, and assorted other foods out of me the past couple days...

update on me

I've been off most of this week in between my two jobs, so naturally, I didn't bother to use any of my free time to write. So, I'll try and make up for that with an update about how things are going. 1. The Sophie cat seems just fine. I have...

Sophie Cat is sick?

I'm very worried about the Sophie Cat. She is not herself today at all. She's lethargic, far more so than usual, for starters. And she's not meowing or purring like herself. She didn't come out from under the couch when I got home and...

Sophie Cat and the Blizard

Somehow, the pictures uploaded backwards, but if you look from the bottom up, you can see the snow drift against my window get higher and higher and higher until Sophie Cat could no longer see over it! She wasn't pleased. Read More...

Sophie cat takes a bath

Somehow my pictures posted backwards, the one at the bottom is supposed to be the first one etc... but in anycase, it was time to give the Sophie cat a bath today. She REALLY needed one, she smelled all dusty/musty. Maybe that's a sign I should vacuum...

Quick Update

This is how we play cards at my work... wearing nitrile gloves; who knows what's on those cards! This was one booooooring night in the drunk tank. On the left you can see our "ghetto" crib board - a plank of wood, holes pounded with a nail...

yikes... too much.

Maybe it's stupid, but I always feel bad posting rants on my blog about how tired I am. I always vowed I'd never be on of those "emo" bloggers who just complains about how much life stucks and how the world is out to get them. Especially...

the further adventures of fat cat

The Sophie cat was acting weird tonight. She was spending an on amount of time here... the scene of the crime it turns out. I didn't discover what she was doing until I thought I heard mice. Turning around I did not see Sophie cat eating from her...

fat cat

Sophie cat and I went to the vet this morning to get her weighed and buy some more of her ridiculously expensive food. The silly cat has managed to gain weight. I really don't know how. What I do know is that she is now going to be eating less then...

time for some more cat pictures...

It's time for more cat pictures! Right now Sophie is shedding, getting ready to grow a winter coat I guess. I've had to use her cat rake on her, which she HATES. Therefore it involves a lot of sneaking up on her. I think she's hiding from...

sleepy day off

This is not my cat. However, my cat also does not come with a snooze button; she is getting better though. It used to be when my alarm when off, the Sophie cat was right up on top of me, headbutting me and making sure I got out of bed. It was annoying...

The sad cat

This is my Sophie cat. She's pretty awesome. Although, I've been working on clipping her claws... one paw at a time, with a day inbetween. She is NOT happy. I still have a paw left (back right) and a one claw on each left paw when she FREAKED...

The Sophie Cat

At long last, here are the pictures of my new cat. She's awesome! She's at the vet tonight, so she can have her teeth cleaned tomorrow. Getting her in the cage involved a lot of howling and hissing, but I finally did it. She sleeps in my bed every...

big decisions

This has been the week of big decisions, big changes, and spending big money. Change number one, is what's lying in bed beside me. No, I didn't buy myself a man, rather, I have acquired a cat named Sophie. At this exact moment she's scratching...
