As I mentioned yesterday, the cat messed himself up again. The verdict was $1600 for the surgeries. Now I know that's a lot, you know it's a lot, but there are ways to handle it. You figure it out, right? Yeah. B finds out in the morning they have a 2:30 appointment to take the cat in to have him checked out for any other issues other than being a kitten and thinking he is invincible. So she goes to her chiropractor appointment at 9:30 then heads over to her mother's to help out and be with her sisters. One is oblivious as usual, the other is more distraught. She's older and can grasp everything that is going on right now. Immediately B's mom starts in with how rough this is on her and how woe is us. Even though when all this went down originally, B warned her against getting a cat in general, let alone a kitten. Fast forward to the afternoon. They take the cat in and he is just a dumbass. There is nothing out of the ordinary wrong with him other than just being a kitten. But it's still going to be $1600 for the surgeries, plus after care, plus rehab to get him walking again, etc. So they take the cat home (yep, even with two broken fucking legs) on pain killers to make a decision. WTF right? I mean it would have been dealt with right then and there. When B got home, I told her the words I have been dreading, come on, let's go get that cat. She tells me no. They have to deal with it. We can't bail them out this time. A couple hours go by and as you might have already figured out, shit went down hill. Her mother had the cat put down. Yep. Fucking cunt. I'm sorry, but that was not the right decision. We are not happy right now. Not one bit. Of course B was a wreck for the rest of the evening. We'll see how she's doing this morning, but last night was bad. Real bad. This is one of those rifts that might not heal. I don't know how her sister is doing, but I can't imagine she is doing much better. This all happened around 6 or so last night. Some fucked up shit.
In other news, I bought my and the kid's birthday present yesterday. Ozzy tickets for July. Here's our seats:
Not the best, but definitely acceptable. I am happy with them for the price. $100 each. I am happy about the aisle location as I can make sure to put the kid on the end so she can see no matter what. Should be close enough to get some decent zoomed in shots. Now to get to Sacramento in six months. Worry about that in like 4 months.
Had our team meeting for two hours yesterday. Got some praise and recognition for all the work I have been doing the last couple of weeks. That felt good. We talked about what we want to see happen in Q1. I learned I might be going to Milwaukee in a couple of weeks. All in all, it was a good meeting actually. Very pleased with that.
Made thai peanut curry for dinner as planned. Came out pretty good. After dinner and all the drama we tried to distract ourselves by catching up on Superstore. We binged on nine episodes. It gave us both some laughs but there was still the pain of what was going on underlying.
I got both of my upgrades for tomorrow confirmed at least. That's good. One less thing for me to worry about. I did push my pickup time 30 minutes because of the government shut down. I wanted to allow some extra time in case TSA is light.
No plans for today other than relaxing and getting ready to leave tomorrow.
