another rough night, for my dying cat, with me laying on living room floor, so he stays in warm living room and not cold bedroom.
me out of fetal position in bed, to get ready to walk to vet 3 blocks away, to make an appointment for next week, if my cat lasts that long; also to pick up 40 dollars meds for him, that a compound pharmacy 25 miles away must make; I don't have a credit card, so I phone the pharmacy, they send the med to the vet, and I pay the vet.
pick up meds, make appointment at lousy vet, then to hardware store on next block for at least 2 bags of topsoil, and maybe a pickax later, cause of hard winter ground.
and then 3 mile bike ride or walk to pet shop to get fish oil for hoped for miracle for my cat; 3 mile bike ride nothing when I'm ok, but I'm definitely depressed----lost ten pounds in just a week, I found out minutes ago.
when my mom was dying in a hospital 25 miles away, with me having to take a trailways and then city bus to the hospital, I lost 20 pounds in 2 months from that.
if I had money for a kinder vet, money for a car, money for a pet cemetery, this whole thing would be easier for me and my cat. I even read of some vets now coming to your home for last vet visit.
this morning I even thought I wish I had money for my first hooker; a life time of dealing with this sort of stuff all by myself....I wish I had a high price "escort" to just talk to; better than some therapist who, of course, for professional reasons, just stares at you while you're crying.
when the worst does happen, as with my mom's burial, i'll probably just return to my slum apartment and stare at the walls. I'm not a gambler, but I now wish I had a mere one hundred dollars to blow at atlantic city; casino noises and flashing lights, crowds, and hookers.

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
Some have suggested contacting a local hospice for support groups. It's on my mind to that but my financial problems are coming to a head right now and I feel like I need more help with that first. I can't not deal with that, I could lose my home.
Just thought I'd share the suggestion of hospice support groups. Could be a resource.
So very sorry about your cat. Have you considered contacting the Humane Society? They have volunteers and I know they provide a lot services. Please do that, it could help you and your cat.
sorry about your mom and now cat....hope all is ok for you...I know you did not get along with the parents....at least respect wise...but still it is hard to go thru death of anyone close....
pets included...
hugs bill
thanks for your replies
I just gout up from my first valium; wonderful pill that just knocks you dead for a couple hours....though maybe the melatonin I took prior helped.
THE MORNING VET SECRETARY WAS REALLY NICE
THE HARDWARE STORE GIRLS REALLY NICE, with me buying two bags of topsoil
LANDLADY REALLY REALY NICE----drove me for fish oil, with me saying to her on phone I'd be a worthless tenant if I had a stroke, after I asked her on phone for ride to e.r.
