Work stuff and the LA fire

[ani_mama]

I mentioned on my last post that taking commissions will pretty much guarantee that work will show up? Yup. Just that. First handout meeting of 2025 tomorrow, and looks like I will be busy for at least a couple more months without a break. Now that I know this is how the new department operates, I am going to keep saving money and look for longer

Good to hear you've got work for some months more.

Also good to hear your mum and sister are safe.

One of the people at work lost their family home. The parents got out and are safe, but there is nothing left except for a brick planter box and brick chimney. Horrible.

That's terrible. ☹️

That's good to hear your mom and your sister are safe :)

It is unbelievable how many homes are getting burned...

[tari_elven]

So glad you're family is safe!

So many people lost their homes, including one of my old coworkers. My family is lucky to be in an area not affected.

Who looks after the cats if you go away?

[ani_mama]

They are fine overnight with extra food, water and additional catbox. Chickens have a bulk feeder and waterer. For more than a couple days we have a neighbor check on them if Kid is not available. Honestly though, we have not gone anywhere overnight this past year. Hotel prices have gone through the roof and I was concentrating on saving money after the sudden layoff news in the summer.

I was talking to a friend who has a niece in Burbank. I can't even imagine how horrible it is there and all those poor folks. Worse for the animals as they don't have a clue what's happening. I hope they stay safe!

Apparently area shelters are full of abandoned and lost animals. So sad.

They suffer so much.
