I Want to Run Away

 The chaos next door has reached supreme heights as they attempt the move out.

Today finally she rented a Uhaul but had no one lined up to help load up her stuff.  Her roommate promptly backed the truck up and hit the truck bumper on the garage.   About right.  He's the truck driver who had at least three wrecks in his very brief trucking career.  And her inspection, to get deposit back, was also today.  She cancelled that, thank goodness.

She's only had one young woman helpng her out, who is now exhausted to the point of collapse.

That young woman is now off trying to find a friend to help her out.

I've never seen such dysfunction with a move.  No planning, just relying on one person to do it all.

Meanwhile the guy sits around doing nothing and complaining that no one is helping him.

I'm staying away.   Nothing I can do.  I don't want my back messed up further.

The lady trapping cats at her workplace caught four night before last.  She can't trap weekends there, so traps Wednesday and Thursday nights.  She planned on holding the cats til their appointments Monday.  But now one is having kittens in the trap.   As I write this.   I had warned her about the problems this time of year holding cats in traps.  I didn't think one would have kittens in a trap but certainly that one could already have had kittens who would die in that length of time away from mom.  Its better she had kittens in the trap though than before she trapped her as the cats are unwanted there and going to live at a relatives barn after being fixed.  We do the best we can.

I'd like to run away.   I think I will this weekend.   Why not.

I'm taking Fat Boy back to his people.   They can give him eye meds better than I can, when he's in the cage.  Its hard to put eye meds in a cats eye that is in a cage, due to the shape of their heads.  Their heads have to be tilted upwards to get it in and they have to hold still.  Gosh darn, its not that easy on a super tame cat.

This morning someone messaged me, despite it being quite clear on my page that I don't take in cats, wanting me to come take over 25 cats and kittens.   No, I said, I don't take in cats.  I gave her the website for the FCCO and advised her to get appointments and get them fixed.  Doesn't sound like someone who will do that, who would ask a non rescue to come get over 25 cats asap.

Running away is sounding great.
