dancing on my own, make the moves up as i go

[erika]

So Monday: County attorney calls. Find out Josh has a lawyer and he's expensive; never good news. Doctor's appt. He wrote me the most supportive doctor's note I've ever seen.

Tuesday: Gave Aidyn and the ferrets back to Josh, via his lawyer.

Wednesday: Hearing for the Civil Protection Order. Find out Josh has hired a lovely victim blaming costly lawyer. Am amused (because so much evidence, you think I was born yesterday?), but also furious.

Thursday: ~~~lalala fairies or packing or something~~~

Friday: Went back to work and begged for something; am starting in a two-hours-a-week supervised position. Thank god.

Saturday: ~~~packing~~~ talked to my parents. They're keeping the cats. Anyone want a cat?

Sunday: cast rehearsal!

Oh man. I'm sorry about losing Aidyn and the ferrets. I don't know what I'd do if I had to give my my fuzzbutt. -hugs-

And I'm so happy your job is willing to give you another chance. <3

@ole aiden was Josh's to begin with iirc I don't know anything about the ferrets tho


@erika I also don't know anything about cats? your parents have cats now??



also fuck the lawyer (tho how the hell is josh affording that?)

yay for job thing but what is cast rehearsal?

[erika]

the ferrets were both of ours, I couldn't handle taking care of them by myself (three ferrets is a LOT of very ammonia-smelling poop)
aidyn was josh's to begin with, yes.

They're my cats atm; I took them in from a friend in March. She was evicted and had to get rid of 2 of her three cats. They're sweet, loving, and adorable. I would keep them but frankly my father doesn't want to deal with 3 cats* and 2 dogs in their house, and I respect that.

(my two and my sister's, if you were wondering where the third cat came from :P)

I have no idea how josh is affording it. my guess is his sister.

cast rehearsal for thisismybrave.org, performance on may 15th but my sister says it's like 20 bucks a ticket

[panda]

it would be a terrible fucking idea when I don't have my own situation pinned down so I'm suppressing the urge to go KITTIES but I miss having a cat so damn much :( (mine died in February)

is your sister back at your parents or is just her cat?

the $20 is np but deidre has honors graduation that evening :((((

[erika]

seriously if you can take one; i have a prospective home for the other one. and she's my favorite. she's just like, two or three, has her shots, i have her papers somewhere.

also i think that if you can't promise a forever home, my parents would be willing to take her back once the other cat is gone. four is apparently their limit :P

[erika]

i may be sneaking in some people @ the dress rehearsal--- i'll keep you updated

[erika]

It's really hurting. I just had to have a forty five minute petting session with Teyla to feel even a little better about leaving Aidyn behind. The worst thought is that Josh will go to jail and Aidyn will end up—where? It kills me.

[worlds_of_smoke]

-offers hugs- Even if pets aren't "ours", living with them means they still impact you and take up space in your heart. I hope that Aidyn ends up okay, in the end. And I'm glad that you have Teyla still. ♥

[erika]

Thank you. I also have Ronon, and Q and Fibbz (those are the cats, I did not name them).

[panda]

ah fuck I didn't even think of that :((((((((( /hugs

[enemyofperfect]

So much sympathy for this, as well as the awful victim-blaming lawyer and everything else. :/

Find out Josh has hired a lovely victim blaming costly lawyer.

*low rumbles of irritation*

[erika]

They probably plan on attacking my integrity. Awesome! Glad I privatized all my entries before 2008!

I don't know if I'll get any results, but I sent out feelers in my rescue community to see if anyone knows anyone in your area (even people who do transports there) to see about the kitties who need rehoming. <3 May or may not find anything, but wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and attempting to do concrete things even though I have no extras to toss in the hat.

[erika]

thank you so much! don't ever worry about not contributing "materially"; you are such an awesome friend and support and that's more than material enough for me. i honestly never expect to get anything from anyone.
