This really bums me out. I wasn't able to work today because of a sick cat. $3,000 vet bill later, I could have used the extra cash. Oh well, I only need $2,998 now to pay it off.

My bad @electrolyte
I'm usually so good about that.

This is like something out of Pink Floyd's The Wall. Which I watched as a kid. Which was a really poor decision on the part of my parents.

I traumatized my kid by having him watch only the music video for Another Brick in the Wall. He freaked out and thanked me for the nightmares.

I still don't see it as being that bad, but eh...I grew up on it....

Decided then I had to wait to show him the whole movie.

You all acting upset about this CER Vanderbilt thing. This seems like best case scenario to me. You get paid for it breaking, and you'll get paid again when you actually do it

If they schedule it for a time I can do it, it will be great. I had planned on doing it tonight, so it's not.

10 minutes early to get the HIT plus 20 minutes sitting there comes out to $4/hr.
Now if he gave us $5 I'd be cool.

Yes, thanks for asking...He has a blocked urethra. They are doing surgery to widen it to prevent it from happening again. It happened once before and cost $1700 to just clear the blockage. It was either do the $1700 again and about once a year for the rest of his life (he's only 5), or go for the more expensive now but cheaper in the long run preventative surgery....It's worth it but my credit card isn't happy... Hopefully, we will have him back on Sunday.

Wow again. You're an awesome cat owner! I'm not sure I would spend that much on my kitty. (damn, that makes me sound heartless! )
