Well, "Sense and Sensibility" for comfort. I need comfort.
Working with Dr. A., I have learned that any financial shock sends me into a tailspin.
I'd forgotten that in June, I'd made some tweaks to my car insurance. And now I find it's due on Dec. 23.
This morning, I realized that Taylor had not been terrorizing the household. I found her snugged against my pillow. She was hot. She was dehydrated. I made a vet appointment and left work about 15 minutes early to go fetch the cat.
When I got home to fetch her, she was still hiding, but she didn't feel quite so warm. Still, I'm glad I took her because she's mucho plugged up again. To the tune of $700 plugged up.
Honestly, it's Boris one month, Taylor the next. I don't know how long I can keep on doing this. Will I know when I've reached the tipping point? What if I already have? Can I possibly bring myself to desert a cat just because she's bankrupting me?
As usual, I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
Other things on my mind:
I'm thinking of resigning from the Speechifiers. This has been on my mind for a month or two now. While I enjoy the meetings, I absolutely dread the time leading up to them. The roster isn't full. For the past two months, most of the time, I've been the sole officer at the meeting. (One had a family crisis out of town and a vacation, la-de-fucking-dah, and the Queen Bee's mum passed.) There is an officer's meeting coming up soon. Too soon to decide. Maybe they'll kick me out.
Mostly, I'm just tired of trying to make headway and falling further and further behind. Carried out to sea in a rip tide named Taylor.

Canned pumpkin. Cats love it and a spoonful a day keeps them from getting plugged up.
Thought of you last night, we get the strangest movies on HBO Asia. This one was called Red, starring Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren and other semi-famous people. Starts with Christmas decorations and then becomes a comedy-thriller. Not the best movie but it had Christmas and Bruce.
