everything, everything

I'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.

out of innate curiousity, is the rescue group you found called Rescuties at all, and the cat you're referring to Nod?

He's an older cat whose owner passed away and was wandering the streets being fed by a friend's mom, who we then captured and put in a friend's rescue. He's a very personable cat who needs a home...;)

That is exactly the one! I am just in love with him and almost burst into tears when I read his story. I really hope they let me adopt him.

I can probably help you. I've already chatted with the lady at Rescuties. She'll be emailing you tomorrow. If you like, get my phone number from Mike and let's chat. :)
