Special Title

I have the tiniest labret stud right now. It's an interior thread with a tiny crystal on the end. I keep pulling on it, and I'm going to wind up pulling it clear through my lip. I need to stop.

My first week of work went well. I think I'll fit in nicely, and no one said anything about my centered labret. I'm going to wear all three studs tomorrow and see if anyone says anything. When I was hired I was told it was OK to wear the jewelry as long as no one complained.

I found the perfect duplex. Last weekend I was driving around, and saw a for rent sign in the front yard. It's a really cute building in a good neighborhood (Jackson Township.) It's further away from my job, but it's 100% what I want, for the price I want. Two bedrooms, 1.5 bath, attached garage, yard, central air, basement, w/d hookup, garbage disposal, dishwasher and it's in a quiet neighborhood. The best part? Only $550/mo. I'm going to see it next weekend, and hopefully I'll be able to move in the 1st of August. I could only hope for a garage door opener.

I should clean the rat cages.

My KARR tattoo is all healed up and looks really nice. I'm going back next weekend to get my Firebird tattoo touched up again. For some reason the black in the tattoo isn't staying put. I have other tattoos from Art Bomb which have black ink, and they're fine. Must be my skin or something. In any event, TJ assured me he will keep touching it up until I'm happy.

Time to play with the boys.

Woo Woo

New tattoo Saturday afternoon @ 3. TJ's doing the KARR voice modulator, right below my left kneecap. I want it on my kneecap, but he vetoed the idea. Anyway, I'm excited.

Itchy leg.

I'm super-excited about my new job on Monday.

Tired, and this isn't going anywhere.

We'll Miss You Lucifer

Lucifer (Black Self Rex Dumbo) crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning around 7. He'll be buried in Parma, OH with Robert the Cat and Mr. Nibbly (Sexy Rexy.)

He's already missed.

Love you Luci.

Why Again?

Yet another one of the boys is dying. Lucifer is very sick and has stopped eating and drinking. If he makes it through the night I'll be very surprised. We haven't even had him that long; 10 days today. Morgan brought Lucifer home the day after Mr. Nibbly died, and Lucifer wound up sick too. It's strange because the other 5 seem to be fine. El Presidente sneezes a lot but his breathing's fine, his nose is clear and he acts 100% normal. I'll receive my first check from my new job the last week of June, and I'm taking everyone to the vet. It'll cost around $250 for the exams, and another $150 if everyone needs meds, but at least I won't have to worry about anyone else getting sick. This is becoming a little too much for me to handle.

In other news I turned in my resignation letter yesterday. My last day at Stark State is June 8th and my first day at the new place is June 11th. I'm beyond excited. I have to go in on Monday to go over my employment offer and benefits package. Yes, a benefits PACKAGE. I'm geeked out beyond words. Now I'm looking forward to moving in September. It'll have to be around here, though, and not the Cleveland area. South Akron, Greentown, Uniontown, Green, Bath and North Canton are all possibilities, and I guess Mogadore and Tallmadge are as well. It's going to take me a while to find the perfect place, so I plan on beginning my search in mid-July. I'll have 60 days to find the perfect place. I just hope that's enough time.

Lucifer is laying all cute on top of his tissue box. Poor guy, I feel so bad for him but there's nothing I can do. The vet isn't in until Monday, and the Stark County Vet Hospital won't treat a rat. Assholes.

I need to finish cleaning the apartment, then get the dirty clothes into the Grand Prix. Bah, I hate housework.
