closer, my heart

I spoke to Karen. She wants to do only a phone interview. All it will entail is details about what will happen when I sign the cat adoption contract, how much I will need to pay, etc. I will call her to actually start the interview later this afternoon.
*is happy*
*dances*

Also? We now have a nice dusting of powdery snow.
Dear people: Learn to fucking drive. There were absolutely no issues. A mere dusting means you can still actually put your foot on the gas pedal. It's the one on the right.

if wishes were pain pills

Dear body,

Please stop hurting. Please stop being so tired. Please. Please please please please. Just once. Just for a day. One whole day, that's all I ask.

....

Damn.

I need that Wish Care Bear something fierce.

this is it

I finally talked to Karen, and she gave me all the details, like the adoption fees, etc. Because Jupiter is not neutered yet, the shelter will be taking the kitten themselves, to a local vet of their choice, where she will be spayed for free. They will give me the phone number of the vet's office, and I will have to call them and find out when I will be able to pick her up and bring her home. The surgery itself will have no cost to me, but any medications, etc, will be charged to me.

I have to get to the shelter to fill out the forms and sign the contracts by Saturday, because they want to get this done as soon as possible. Adam will be gone by then, and I am not sure what Jason's schedule will be. So I called Charlotte earlier and told everything to her. She said she would pick me up from the Rockville metro station and take me straight there, since the shelter is actually just down the road from her house. She also said she'd be happy to help me pick up the kitten from the vet's in a few days as well.

Oh gods, I owe Charlotte so much for this. Seriously. But she said she is very happy to do it, because she loves me. And she wants to meet the little one.

The kitten's name will be Luna.

In other news... after browsing the BPAL site again, I plan on actually ordering some imps in the near future, once I pay for the kitten's adoption and vet expenses.
Desire, Snake Oil, Hunger, Rapture, Delerium, Persephone, Moon Rose, Rose Cross, Euphrosyne, The Hanging Gardens.
Oh my god, it's starting. I knew BPAL would do this to me. This is why I was so hesitant for so long!

And Adam will be gone a few days longer than we'd thought. The show ends on the 23rd, so he won't be home until the 26th or 27th. Although my jaw is clenching, this is not something I can protest. Adam is needed. This is a huge, huge job. There are over a hundred computers to set up. He will get no true rest. I do feel bad for him. But this is what he does. And I love him for it.
