February

Well, it started out decently enough, except for the stomach virus we both had the first week of the month. But in the last two weeks...

One cat given a remaining life expectancy of 6 months at most (this my first, and favorite, cat)
One cat spending the better part of a week fighting a life-threatening illness, making us think many times that he wasn't going to make it, still sick but infinitely better (this my second, and second favorite, cat)
The above cost over $1000 (so far)
One rather painful medical procedure on me, which fortunately didn't find any huge problems, but then again...all that for no huge problems. :) Once all the bills for it filter in over the next month, another $1000.
One library luncheon, the preparation for which stresses me out to the max every year, made worse this year by the fact that it was a sellout and we had a waitlist, all made pointless by the foot of snow that started coming down just beforehand causing half the attendees to not show up
One trip, a clogging convention that I'd been looking forward to for months, for the dancing, the friends, and just the GETTING AWAY, that I missed, also because of the foot of *(&#ing snow
One $1200 bill for repairs to Brian's car, ALSO because of the foot of *(#&ing snow
And close to one year since my Nanny died, a fact which for whatever reason has really hit me lately, causing a return to intense grief that I thought I was past

Taken individually, maybe all things to grumble about and get over. Taken together, one shitty two weeks. (Er, two shitty weeks. You know what I mean.) I'm counting down...only 7 1/2 hours until March! It's gotta get better. Right?
