We took off for Mendocino on Friday night for my bday. It was great to unplug and I had a great bday, really lovely. I didn't really look at bsky or the news til we got back to the bay area tonight. Two mass shootings and Rob Reiner/wife stabbed to death. I think I want to go back & unplug again

Humane asked me to adopt Sava back bc I didn't want to slow the public adoption process (I was having constant breakdowns managing grief + new job). So here's the success ad they posted lol. Now we're in limbo. Mom and dad are considering trial adoption, and there's always staying put for now.

Capitalism in America. It's 6:30pm and I'm finally in bed, where I should have stayed this morning. But no, I don't have enough pto to go see my parents at Christmas if i stay in bed. And am doing two jobs because my old job won't find someone to take over. Fuck everything.

Sava knocked out after a long day of yelling at me constantly to give her love on the couch instead of working because she knew I was sick and upset

I love my mom. Tonight she said, "why won't he let you have Sava when she clearly means so much to you and your bond is so deep?" I love my mom and dad. We all feel the same about animals. One time we had 5 cats in the home growing up. I was like I don't understand, mom, I just don't understand.

1st day at the new job. Made it.

My depression is unbelievably severe. My MADRS is a 42 which is crazy. I have to call off the 1st day off my new job to get more help. The job that actually wants me. I just can't keep it together. Husband is taking some days off to help me which is kind, seeing as he's also part of the stress.

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Sava goes up for adoption Fri and I am miserable. Last night it was (unsuccessful) bargaining with the husband. What's next.

I looked at this little face last night & lost my shit and haven't gotten it back. I agreed to put Sava up for adoption bc husband doesn't want 4 cats in a small house. She goes up 11/21. I've fallen in a dark, dark hole and can't get out. I honestly don't want to go on anymore.

I had a crying meltdown last night when Sava looked at me so sweet upside down from her bed. I told my husband I can't do it, I can't give her away. He's not backing down. I went to bed and Nugget laid down and rested her head on my shoulder. That's a first. She knows how broken up I am over Sava

I took in a pregnant stray, Sava. She had 5 kittens in my office. Humane adopted them out, and now husband insists she get adopted out too, tho he loves her. He can't deal with 4 cats in a tiny house. I cat is pretty stressed, everyone else is fine. I'm pretty devistated. Considered moving out.

Me at 42, a decade and a half ago, sad about being dumped by the guy I eventually married. Good times.
