*Sigh* Just to remind me......
wrote:
I have been well and truly reminded this evening that my sole purpose on thsi planet is to work to earn money to take care of the owners. Tomorrow, I get my first proper "Real" pay packet in 6 years. Sure, I've worked in part time jobs whilst in school and studying, but this is my first real job in that I get a pension and benefits since I left my Government job in April 2002. So... there I am this evening, looking forward to the fact that I've earned a decent pay packet, and I'll be (semi)solvent for the first time in a very long while and debating whether or not to buy Battlestar Galactica Season 3 on DVD as a celebration. And then HRFL Tiger walks into the room. I notice that he has a *huge* clump of fur ripped out of his chest. About 5cm in diameter. I look closer and see two puncture marks and blood. A lump is starting to form. It seems he's been fighting with his nemesis, the grey cat without a tail from 3 doors up. So off to TED he will go tomorrow, probably to have an abscess lanced, and certainly it will make my bank balance poorer.... There goes my "treat" of the DVD's I've been looking forward to since September. ( Oh well, a good friend of mine said that it's the Universe giving you what you need, rather than what you want. In that I have a job, so therefore money, and that I can now pay vets bills more easily. I totally get her point, but boy do Pollyanas annoy me sometimes!! Purrs for HRFL Tiger to not have a serious wound would be most appreciated. Thanks Helen M Doesn't it always work that way? lol! Don't worry; with the "real" job, you'll be able to get your series soon :-) In the meanwhile, a loud chorus of purrs for HRFL Tiger to be okay.

Sorry about HRFL Tiger's injury - purrs for a quick recovery. And a not-too-expensive vet bill, so that someday you'll be able to buy Season 6. ;-P Joyce I think it has already been announced that Season 4 will be the last. LOL! You're taking me a bit literally, Adrian. I was just joking with Helen that with the vet bills, she might have to forego Season 3, but that eventually, she might be able to get Season 6... (even if there isn't one ). Joyce -- To send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. |
