Donation even though I'm poor

Well, I have never donated to PBS before, but I have signed up to contribute monthly due to the sudden hold on Federal funds (at least during this presidential term). Got into their Passport website for access to more PBS shows. Nice.

Cat locked in the bathroom

Interesting morning. Heard a noise and figured cats knocked over something. Then heard meowing that didn't stop. Got up to investigate. Goldie was trapped in the bathroom. Rosie was in hallway so wonder how the door got closed. Probably grabbing at the tie on my robe hanging on the door. Let the dogs outside and fed everyone.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! Took Rosie to the vet for tapeworm follow up. Vet cleared out some ear wax and checked for ear mites. She has ear mites which means all other pets need treatment too.

Dog refuses to eat

Had a fun with the dog who refuses to eat breakfast. Went outside where his muddy paws were wiped on my pants. Refused the chicken can food I gave him. And he Loves Chicken. Tried a can tuna which he also loves. Refused that too. OK. Pick up the bowl and arm gets bumped by an animal wanting attention and spill the tuna and water on my pants. Let Anna lick my pants after I changed them.

Freaked out on Rufus today. Cleaning the litter box and caught him eating cat poop. Rosie had a tapeworm and now scared he ate any of her poop when she was infected. He got some tapeworm meds. Have to take it 3 days.

Got Fired

Well, it finally happened. I'm fired. Told them I expected this since they fired the other secretary last March. Arrived at chiropractor office, 1 and half hour early. Insurance is through the government so won't lose that. But now I have to do food delivery until I can start taking classes to be a pilates instructor in February. Maybe apply to volunteer again at a museum. I need to meet people. Not kicking out roommates. I told them I need them to help me. I instructed roommate to take the driver's written test again to get his permit so he can get his license and get a job he wants to bring in income. He cancelled his last appointment to take the test after an argument over the thermostat. If he had a job, nobody would be complaining about him being here. I will be mean mommy to push him to get his driver's license. They can help me with food delivery.

Oh No

I'm toast. Another grievous mistake today at work and I know I will be fired soon. But I have a plan. Saw an ad for training for pilates instructors to potentially work at their gym. People have said I'm a good teacher. Classes start Feb 20. Trying to hang on. I have applied for jobs since November when received my bad review. Not one interview. I don't know what else to do. Could do the food delivery route, but doesn't pay enough. I said to roommates I will kick them out if I lose my job. I can't support dead weights who don't help me out. Sure they clean, mow the lawn and run snow blower. No income and no hope of income either.

Dogs to the Groomers

Took the dogs to the groomer today. They are so well behaved and come home smelling fresh. To which, I take them for a walk as we return home and they roll in the grassy dirt.

New Year's Resolution

My resolution this year is to learn Yoga. My knees and back keep giving me problems so maybe Yoga will help.
