Do you get a lot of petsitters that have never owned the pets they sit for?
He's a friend of ours, so we know him well enough to trust him to be responsible for our pets. If something went wrong -- if they got sick or injured -- he has the information for the vet. Which is what we do when we're home; it's not like, by virtue of being the pets' owners, we can nurse them back to health ourselves.
And as long as they don't get sick or injured, they're pretty simple critters. Feed them, give them fresh water, let Kato out to poop, pet their furry bellies.
I think smonster used the cat puke example specifically to illustrate her current state of mind. Which flowed from that conversation.
I mean, are we splitting hairs on what's appropriate to be overwhelmed by when depressed? I think that's a YMMV issue if I ever heard one.
I know what you're saying, Nora. And believe me, I do understand depression. I guess maybe my only takeaway is that Hec didn't make me angry, and I didn't think his tone was objectionable.
They need to be
touched?
Okay, guys, I know you all had me on your petsitting lists, but you can take me right off. Sorry!
ION, wow, I am so burned out at my job. How did that happen? Just a little while ago I was loving it!
Sigh. Will just need to hang on to see if this is a cyclical thing, and hopefully I will rise to the positive again.
Nora, I bet it's cyclical. You know how much I loved my last job, but even that one had periods where I just didn't wanna go in (and thought I hated it). It was usually when I wasn't as busy doing interesting things and every day was just boring and tedious until the next interesting project came my way. I know you're doing great work there - it's probably going to get better soon. Plus, you're bummed that your awesome report is leaving, right? That's bound to be part of it. In other words, hang in there!
Took a sick day. Ibuprofen last night, and again when I woke up. Still hurt.
I happily catsit, but have no pets. Love them, but not cleaning up after them. This discussion, plus cleaning out litterbox last night, reminds me why I don't want pets.
ION- does anyone know about homesteading? As a new home owner, I'm getting all new types of mail. That was one of the pieces of potential junk mail.
Cat hurl is...not like people's.
Very gross in its own way, but not like leaving human...well, anyway.
