threeplusfireI'm just not sure I can be here right now.
The recent brouhaha makes my head hurt. It makes me angry and annoyed and upset, and so very tired. I have enough going on in the waking world to not need another source of stress. So for the time being I am not going to post much right here. I will continue to read other people's journals and comment. No, I haven't quite decided what to do.
I was turned down for a job I would excel at today, and I am sort of heartbroken. Mostly because I misspelled the word separate, and added an extra comma in a sentence. (Yes, there was a grammar & spelling test.) It is sort of depressing to know a college degree, years of experience and damned good work can all be undone by a comma.
Right now I am thinking about adopting a cat. I found an organization in town that rescues animals from the local shelter before they are euthanized. They have some older cats that need homes, include one who is at least ten. His elderly owner passed away, and the cat was left to wander the streets. I really want to take him home and make his remaining years happy ones.
I really want to cry, for a lot of reasons. But my left eyelid is swollen and painful, and I'm afraid that just isn't an option right now.

Date: 2007-08-08 07:26 pm (UTC)It's brave of you to consider an older cat, because of course you'll fall in love with him, even knowing ahead of time that his potential time with you is that much shorter. But yes, a cat who lost one loving owner totally deserves to find another.
I've mostly tried not to think/read about the LJ crap, because it's just depressing and frustrating all around. Not watching the news sometimes helps, too.
