Took my crazy mother to the ER the other day. She developed Pneumonia. Probably from all the filth she breaths.
I put her sick dog and the aggressive one down today. Definitely an upsetting experience. Not much to say.
She is nuts, cant stand her. I would rather not ever deal with her again.
Heading to LA on Tuesday AM. I have 11 or 12 interviews set up. I learned from the San Francisco experience. I pressed them for more info and presented them with what I expected so I am not waisting my time. I am not up for the "we just wanted to meet you," BS. Some people seem to think that I am looking for work for the enjoyment of the search. No I am looking for work because I need $$$.
Trying to find a Backpack to carry my stuff. Just in case I cant find work and am on the street, a good backpack will become very important.
Have you ever been on the street?

I've tried to explain this to people, but few understand and some think I'm sorta creepy...
I loves me some critters, and I've always had pets, and having pets sometimes means putting them down. I never could afford to take them to the vet, so I learned how. It's not easy for me, and I take no pleasure from it.
Since then it seems like I've been stuck with that job a lot. I've become some kind of Jack Kervorkian for sick puppies and kitties. I've had to put down my friend's and relative's pets, it's no easier when it's somebody else's.
Not one of them has suffered, and I'm proud of that.
Yes, a good backpack is essential.
Don't forget to pack a good towel.
Don't panic.
Growing up out in the country has caused myself to have my fair share of dogs and cats that have had to be put down, or hit by cars or shot by the cranky old farmer across the street.
One dog I had was shot by said farmer in the back. The dog lost control of his bodily functions - he couldn't go on his own, we had to use a catheter - and he couldn't wag his tail. We tried and hoped but eventually he had to be put down. My dad did it, he gave me the gun afterwards and said he never wanted to see it again...
Sometimes it has to be done though, for the good of the pet and yourself. Hard as it may be.
Do they have like YMCA's or anything that you could lay up in for a couple of days if you needed to? Maybe look ahead of time for something like that so you know where they are.
Maybe scratch up some cash if you can (or even want to get back) and get a bus ticket back home in case you get stuck. Having that already taken care of might take some of the strain off.
Hang in there.
