aw, crap, Erin. I'm sorry this week is sucking for you. I hope it turns around real soon.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And this new cat is cute, but I am not feeling The Love I feel for Gimlet.
I'm not quite sure why you got a new cat considering the allergies plus Gimlet not loving it and the extra expenses. But there's undoubtedly some Cat Logic to it all which escapes me.

I didn't think the allergies would kick up quite this much -- plus, they're usually easily controlled by pills, except I don't have any right now. So that's a temp thing.
And I took Tulip because storm + hungry + sweet-natured + thinking about a 2nd cat anyway = New cat
If Gimlet really can't stand her after a week, then I might try to re-home her.
I don't know, don't ask me. I'm stupid, ok.

Yeah, I don't think so. Impulsive? Soft-hearted? Both of those, probably.

Soft-headed, more like.
Well, it's done now. And she is sweet.

Particularly in the swamplike sinuses.
But maybe taking on dependents when you can't even afford allergy pills was a little ambitious.

Erin, you're not soft-headed. You do need that job thang to start up so you can get your meds.
I basically attachment parent. It's more of a guideline, really, despite what some parenting board posters would have you think. And it's not that hard. It's all about "listening" to your kid.)

Been there, done that, bought the litter tray. Inconvenient, maybe, but karmically of the good. Still, make damn sure you can feed/clothe/house yourself first, love, because cats are better at coping with no house/tinned food etc than we are.
Erin, love, I'm so sorry that things are looking shitty right now. Which of the things is most do-something-about-able? Because personally, I find it helps LOTS with my state of spiralling despair if I've got a wee list of things I need to fix, and then manage to cross some of them out. Is there a bit of your house you can face tidying? (SO with you on the slob front. My sistah!)
