Well, Max is now a $900+ cat.
( Fortunately, we have deeper pockets than many cat people. )Thank you for all your words and encouragement. We need all the help we can get.
This new stress added to both our health issues, how this impacts our relationship, work and money questions...I will be glad to see 2008 in the rear view window. I pray we survive it.
Only good news -- Obama/Biden win (you can think of this as "Palin doesn't" 'cus she is NOT Ready for Prime Time.) At least adults are going to be at the helm. And, knock on wood, it would be difficult to be a worse administration than the current one. My fiscal conservative heart foresees national debt for a long time to come.
