It's been a long while...

So, I've moved again. This time into a place where I was able to finally have my cat with me. So much to tell...

My last place was less than ideal, sadly. One of the roomies was an utter bitch. She would go on about being considerate of others, but she was the most inconsiderate person I've ever lived with. Leaving her laundry in the machines for hours, leaving the house, and then getting pissed off if somebody touched it was the first taste of her bullshit. And it just got worse the longer I was there.

Then my daughter and I had a huge fight that I'm still trying to figure out what caused her to fly off the handle the way she did. Accusations against me and what sort of person I supposedly am? Like, wtf? It seriously sounded like the same shit my mother would spout off when ever she was pissed at me for not kissing her ass.

At that time, she told me that the only reason she hadn't blocked me was because she was still looking after my cat because I hadn't been able to find a place where I could have her. And then a friend of mine told me that she would soon have a room available and I could bring my cat home finally.

Took two months of paying two rents, especially as near the end of February I broke my left arm after slipping on ice in the driveway. Ice that wouldn't have been there if the other roomie who had a car had stayed on top of shoveling. Snapped my humerus in half, and two weeks after that I was told I needed surgery because the radial nerve was trapped. Now I've got a plate and a bunch of screws holding everything together, and a damaged radial nerve that we're all hoping heals and I won't need another surgery. But I have a gut feeling telling me that another surgery is in my future.

I was hoping to have my room all organized before bring my cat home, but she got really sick at the end of April. One emergency vet bill later, and a bunch of meds to give her, and she came home with me. She seemed to be getting better, but cats are notorious for hiding how sick they are. She passed away this past Sunday. Needless to say, I'm still not over losing her and I probably won't be for a good while. But she's buried in a beautiful spot where I can visit her whenever I want.

And it's amazing how quickly the Cat Distribution System can work sometimes. I was given a regular customer's cat today as he's leaving the province and can't take her with him. She looks nothing like my last two beloved cats, which is a big reason why I offered to take her. It would have been too difficult to have cats who look like the two I'm still deeply mourning. And the new kitty has warmed up to me quickly...we've already napped with her curled up against me while she purred away.

I'm still working at the same place and I make more per hour than I ever have. Still trying to catch up after paying rent on two places for two months though. My health is still meh, but such is life sometimes. 

Anyhoo, it's past my bedtime and I have to work way too early in the morning. Bleh.
