Oh, poor kitty Josie. I'm sorry, GC. It's always so hard.
New kitty looks very cuddly and sweet. KITTEN! FUN!
Gah, just woke up. One of my ex-students texted me last night with what seemed to be a suicidal message (at 11:30) and I soent an hour trying to trace the number and calling and texting back frantically, trying to see who it was.
She finally called me back, and I spent an hour on the phone with her. Her cousin had been shot in a drive-by, and then people came to the hospital and tried to kill him. He was being transferred to a different hospital for safety, but he wasn't stable, and died.
She was with him (long complicated fucked up backstory here I will NOT detail, but it gave me a heart attack) that night. She's a good kid, and it was a mess.
What a tragic, fucked up, avoidable mess.
