Check with a cat rescue/shelter. They very often have much need for that sort of thing.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am shocked at all this onerous tasking on Slack Off America Day.
Hey, my calendar says so, who am I to argue?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, I meant to say, I am too lazy and transportation-challenged to bring the stuff to a rescue myself.

Hmm. I've had this weird buzzing feeling in my leg for the past few days. I finally resorted to Dr Google, who tells me it's either multiple sclerosis, diabetes, or...clothes that are too tight. Thanks Dr Google. (Apparently there's some nerve there that can get irritated)

I tried to trace back all this apocalyptic talk, and I swear it almost all comes from one journalist with no particular qualifications. Here's a bottom line: The absolute worst conceivable scenarios at Fukushima cannot be worse than Chernobyl, and we're all still here. Also, NUCLEAR FUEL CANNOT EXPLODE. *head desk head desk head desk*

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Well, that is both good to know, and bad, because people are tripping.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, Kate!
Should I try NANOWRIMO this year?
I say yes. It would be crazy for me to try it what with all that's going on, but it is tempting given that for the first time in forever I'm actually making headway into writing fiction. So I will likely try to at least push that draft forward in a very big way. So, er, will kind of be there with you, but as the slacker friend who isn't try quite as hard as you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

RAKISH ARMOIRE. Interesting.
The next suggestion cracked me up: SLUTTY IMAGINARY NUMBER

Oh, that's a good one for Hil!
62/63 in the house. Pumpkin is down with being completely under the covers. Loki's coat is so lush, he gets too warm covered up. Drops below 60 inside and I'll relent and turn on the heat. Because I don't have fur.
Mom's birthday today and so far they're not home yet.

So we're tight on cash till payday in a week. I was mulling over the good fortune I've had in the past, how while I don't get big miracles, someone/thing always comes through in a crisis.
I get home. There's a big envelope addressed to me from a gas and oil company in Pittsburgh.
It's a request to lease my share of the mineral rights for 70.4 acres in the coal/gas fields of Southwestern Pennsylvania. $2,000 per mineral acre (whatever that is, research ahoy!).
There are 10/11 located heirs. I don't know how many mineral acres there are in 70.4 acres.
I despise the energy companies that are raping my ancestral home. But one person out of 10/11 won't stop this. They already own a third of the rights. And even if I only have one mineral acres, $2,000 would be very useful. I have to have a grand in hand before I can get cataract surgery (thankfully a couple of years before crucial).
I don't get miracles, but the Goddess loves me.
