Life With Jules, and other stuff

My cat desperately tries to get into my room and away from my friend who lives with me. No, he doesn't hurt her or anything. He's actually very loving toward her. He also happens to be a big guy. I think that kind of scares her sometimes. Or maybe she's just playing a game. Whatever the case, she's driving me crazy. Cra-cra? Is that the term kids are still using these days? Love my Sandy to bits. I do hope she's not too overly traumatized when I can finally go back to my office...whenever that may be. Speaking of... The world has gone completely mad! Yes, I said it. And I am sure many of you have as well. Or at least thought it. This virus going around is so very bad. So very contagious. People think they're invincible. Especially the young because we are being told by the media that they don't seem to have the severe symptoms of this virus. What many don't understand is the nature of this virus. Even the medical professionals don't quite ...

Everyone's life has been upended thanks to this virus pandemic. I am not enjoying this new albeit temporary journey. I am working from home. I cannot go to my classroom to teach my classes. My cat has become more clingy. And when she's not right beside me, she's pacing. UGH! I don't know how she's going to fare when I do return to my regular office. Don't get me wrong, I love Sandy to pieces. This is my "office" buddy. Hard to believe she'll be 11 in a few weeks. In my day job, I work for the state helping veterans become job ready and employed. Periodically, I receive a magazine called GI Jobs. Well, I received an email from them today with a link listing the 7 movies to watch while quarantined. They're calling it "Coronapocalypse Now" lol. Here's the list: Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) A Quiet Place (2018) Dawn of the Dead (1978) Contagion (2011) Outbreak (1995) - no surprise this made the list 28 Days Later...

Well, I have been looking for a new job for little over a month now. The changes made to unemployment require me to show proof of at least 5 contacts each week. That said, I did have an interview today and I think it went rather well. I won’t get into too much detail at this time, but I am really hoping to be selected for the position. In other news, my mom turns 60 tomorrow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! I know you read this from time to time, lol. And my kitties are playing so well together now!

I can’t give a proper title to this post as the object in the pictures has no name at this time. If you have been following this blog or my cross stitch blog you know that my cat, Sandy, went missing last Thursday evening. She has not shown up as of this post. I am still heartbroken over her disappearance and hope that she is safe and that she returns home to us soon. In the meantime, I told my dad last night that I intended to pick up a kitten from my grandma’s house. I did that earlier today and would like to share with you the newest member of my family: My sister and I are trying to come up with a name for him. I have had a few suggestions from some stitchy friends over on my cross stitch blog as well as one from my dad. Once a decision is made, I will reveal his name to you all. His eyes are matted with an infection and my sis suggested cleaning them several times a day with peroxide on a cotton ball. Hopefully this will clear up in a few days. He will also be seeing my v...
