"Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away..."
Yesterday was a seemingly good day for me...until I arrived home from school and my mood just sped right downhill. I came home to at least eight puddles of some form of cat excrement. You see, one of my cats is very sick...she's been having some sort of seizures, and she's been progressively getting sicker. She can't make it to the bathroom sometimes, so when she has to go she just does it right where she is and lays in it. Anyway, I came home and the puddles were all over my kitchen and laundry room, and her eyes looked like they were completely glazed over. She seemed almost delirious. Later, when my dad tried to pick her up, she made funny meowing noises--she NEVER meows. So, I spend a good half hour on the phone with two different vets, and then had to make the decision on whether to drive her an hour to the Emergency Vets or to wait until today afternoon. In the meantime, my friend and I are trying to make a pie for our Pie Day in English class. There was so much stress going on, and I am TERRIBLE at making decisions. I had no idea what to do. So, I went to pick up my boyfriend and see what he thought. We decided that it wouldn't make much difference when we took her since she's been sick for over a month. Alas, for all I know right now, we're taking her to the vet when I get home from school.
--I'm being kicked out of the library now so some stupid organization can have their meeting. I suppose I must be on my way. Corrupt bastards.

I am SO sorry about your cat. I know how hard it is. I have had lots of pets and it just tears my heart out when they are sick. I get so attached to my pets (I mostly have dogs and cats, but I've had lots of other pets too), and it breaks my heart when they're ill. I really really hope your cat will be ok.
I'm really glad that you started a diary here. And I'm honored and humbled that you have found my diary so helpful. Very cool. If you ever want to e mail me or anything just let me know.
