Quantum has come a long way from the filthy little guy who was too terrified to jump onto the couch. Now he's jumping everywhere and playing (and napping) like a kitty maniac. Last night he decided to attack his feather wand from every angle in the bedroom, including caroming off furniture.

Do I chose the prescription medicine or the car payment? I think I'll taper off the meds and see if I can handle it.

Even this is only possible by the charity of friends.

Sucky-suck-suck.

I can move in with my sister for a couple of months, then she'll be moving to Washington to stay with her relatives (on her dad's side) because she is ( Read more... )

Going to see about staying with my sister until she moves to Washington (she's in dire straits, also, and her relatives--on her dad's side--will help her out).
