Poor Rosie cat

At the vet. Rosie was limping on 3 legs yesterday and in the evening her paw looked swollen so booked appointment today. No resistance into carrier and no meows on the way so I know she is in pain. She getting x-rays of her leg to checks for any breaks from the swelling. She is 8 lbs.

Well, she wouldn't hold still for x-rays so they have to sedate her. Which will take a few hours. I have a job interview at 1:30. I don't even want the job, but stupid unemployment threatens to take away benefits if you turn down anything. I get emails of them contacting employers to see if I really applied.

Good news: Leg is not broken and no surgery is required. Bad News: Toe is fractured to explain the swelling, so Rosie gets pain meds for 2 weeks. And lots of rest. Today she rubbed her head against Rufus, and he replied in kind. So sweet, and I didn't have my smartphone to video it. Yesterday, Anna put her nose on Rosie's head. So sweet. Been trying to keep the dogs distant so she doesn't get knocked over.

Excitement at work

I received a note on my paycheck today. It said next year the company will match contributions to our 401K plans, in addition to the profit sharing money the company puts in once a year. That is exciting, that means the company is making money and we might get raises. Though I hope the match limit is not very high, I do not make that much. Sure free money is nice, but my paycheck has to cough up the other half of that contribution. Of course, I can always cancel the cable, charity alms, cell phone, and internet if I need money to contribute to my 401K. And put off health insurance one more year. My struggling barely above the poverty line (depending where one draws the line) reminds me of something my Dad told my Mom when she complained of lacking a wealthy lifestyle her friends had. He said: You were born poor, you married poor, and you will die poor, so get used to it. And many of those people living in fancy houses are up to their ears in debt. Then again, my Mom is the type who can...
