ONCE is human/imperfection__TWICE is a pattern


ONCE is a mistake..human frailty

 

TWICE is a pattern......

I was going to go visit Linda today as its been a couple of day, with work and sorting out my charities and what projects I am doing...Like doing LIFE...one man show taking care of this house....still having to mow some of the yard because the grass in back grows fast

anyway, Linda up the street turned on me AGAIN...I get this nasty call from Ricky,  she Wants her cage back, her cat stuff back,  she wants it ALL back...So i told him well mr. kitty has to come back too because I have no play house for him to be away from the dogs.....

 

so I packed up everything, HE had to tote that big cage, but I toted up the cat,  his unfinished bag of food (new one I donated to shelter to help the fosters and folks who are struggling to feed their pets..also I had new bag of litter---GONE to shelter)

I take everything back and I said to Ricky that I will never come to this house again , unless you have garage sale and I NEED an item then its business only...as to Linda...GOD bless and (she had to have heard me b/c I was in foyer of their house) tell her to have a nice life, I will pray for her,  but SECOND strike and I'm GONE....roommate was exception due to my love for my pastor, and I rarely give SECOND chances,  but I did with Linda,  but this is final...I told him goodbye and God bless,   take care of mr. kitty, he is a sweet pet and I was GONE

I went to the shelter with this big donation,  cat food, litter and also I bought 2 bags of doggie food,   "Rudy" the dog officer thanked me profusely for my donation and I said that as long as HP is helping ME, I am gonna help others....

 

so back to Linda....I am looking at the plusses and minuses

 

minus_I miss the good times we had.....I miss hugs from the kitty.....I miss the laughter when she was "behaving".....I am sad it had to end like this but END IT DID

 

plusses_No more drama queens....more time for me and my dogs...more time for house maintenance....Less work,  no cat  shit /pee smell, cleaning out litter,  none of that....AND he gets to roam in that roach infested dump w/out having to stay in his crate or playhouse, which he actually LIKED, but yea, he gets more roaming there......also I think God works things out for the best....I vacuumed all the house, found loads of cat fur which is why my eyes and sinuses have been so bad...his fur was SO fine, yea, it was bothering my allergies....so I shoudl clear up fine now that the place has been gone over with the vacuum......

I do miss the affection I got from this lovely animal,  but I think, in the end, I will be less sick from allergies and I don't know whats going to happen when they lose the house (1 year behind on mortgage payments)  I don't know what will happen to the kitties they have hoarded there,  but I can't save everyone........

I'm sad it ended this way, so abrupt and cruel and nasty/ugly,  but the good news is,  she wont' hurt me again....I'm done!!!!! God bless them, I will pray for them,  but I will not go back to that....
