Don’t you have a Barnes and Noble near you? Or why didn’t you order from another bookstore if you despise Amazon?Originally Posted by KayLR

Well, like I said, it was a deal. A $75 book I got for 23.34.
Actually I do have a B & N but they rarely have what I'm looking for and I did look there first. They can't even seem to stock The Atlantic magazine, but you can get any dippy craft or fine manor homes magazine anytime.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
Indian half of the owners at work was a complete turd today, as he usually is. He's not been in the office for at least 6 weeks (been traveling). It was so bad I went and applied for a job today. Big broker that has a very good reputation. Fully remote. Just what I do now. It was just posted today. Interesting timing. Not getting my hopes up, but it felt positive to do something.
My husband knows that if he rough houses with me too much, our male cat gets upset and comes to defend me. That happened yesterday but our female cat was around and I'm not sure what happened but the next thing I know, she is attacking the male cat. I mean going at him like she was feral. I ran after both of them screaming to stop. I got her away from him (He ran underneath the bed) and got her back upstairs. I checked on the male cat and he seemed fine. He must have gotten a few licks in because there was her fur underneath a couple of his claws. Went upstairs to where the female cat was and she was hissing at me like I was going to be her next victim. Eventually she did calm down.
Why I'm pissed is (1) it was completely preventable. Husband went too far and (2) we had a problem the end of 2024 through the beginning of 2025 where we had to physically keep the cats separated for months because the sight of each other would cause a horrible fight. It started because there was a stray male cat that would come to the sliding glass door if he saw our female and torment her. She couldn't get to him so she took her anger out on her brother. After a few months separated, they be ok and then out of the blue, another fight. It got to the point where we put the female in the basement when I leave for work and then husband lets her out when he gets up four hours later. They are fine the rest of the time. We still do this just because it's routine to them now.
I was afraid after yesterday's fight, we'd be a square one again. I hated having them separated because I felt like the female got neglected because I don't go downstairs that often. Husband does but she doesn't really like him.Eventually the female went underneath our youngest's bed and the male came upstairs. He ended up going into the youngest's room too. I got up to watch. He smelled under the bed so I'm sure they knew each other was around. He got onto the bed and laid down in the window. They stayed like that for a while. He came out and went into my room where they both normally sleep. She was still under the youngest's bed when I went to bed. Woke up in the middle of the night to find both of them sleeping on my bed so it appears I dodged a bullet and they are ok with each other.
Best of luck, Tradd!
Yikes, on the cat fights! Glad it seems to have worked out.

Klunick I am so sorry to hear about your cats getting into it. I hope they are able to be on good terms.
Klunick: I feel your pain. A cat has started coming around our house recently, and when our boys see it, they start fighting with each other. An offer of treats or dry food redirects their interest pretty effectively, but these episodes definitely disrupt the usual peaceful vibe at the cottage.
The only one who disturbs the peaceful vibe of our cats is our idiotic dog. He’s mostly friends with our tabby cat, but plays rough with him. He’s the worst enemy of our orange cat, she is terrified of him because he gets her in a roll on her back. He never bites down on her though, but she is still terrified of him.
he is such a bully.

Seem to be ok. The male is the one who normally holds a grudge and he wasn't acting upset last night or this morning so I think we're good. Probably upsets me more than them. These two are the first cats we've had that fought with each other so it was very upsetting for me plus scary to watch. Hopefully husband has learned his lesson and will stop messing with me so much.
Got any prescriptions filled this year? Did so yesterday and it went up $100 from the last refill. As usual trump did not do as he promised… reduce prescription costs. No surprise because he has not come through on many promises (if any). Sadly, this is a common drug and many will not be able to afford it (and die)….most likely those who voted for trump.
