What I Wanted at the End of Last Night
Instead I drove back to the conference, had a soda, and read Jennifer Crusie until I felt calm again.
A Foster Cat Always Relies on the Kindness of Strangers
Last night I was almost in tears at my shelter and people helped. No one looked at me and said “Why are you stressing about a cat? You have sick family members to worry about!” They understood and rallied and tried to find a way to help LeCat, my fourteen year old foster who suddenly…
