The gene pool could use a little Chlorine.

Guss what? I'm not restricted from this site! Yay! So I'll actually have time to catch up on everyone's news, musings, and gossip.

So, of course, no news yet on the baby thing. Between watching child-labor stars win gymnastic gold in the Olympics amid reports of how they called their parents and wanted to quit but they weren't allowed (probably because the Chinese government would have burned them at the stake if they let their country down), and spending two hours every other night in the hospital with my ailing grandmother, it's hard to find the energy and the drive to get in the mood some days. But we are giving it our best shot!

I also sent a kitten to certain death yesterday by calling animal control to come and get it. Now, I hate the idea of euthanasia, but I believe in sparing the life of horrible suffering in pets as well, so when a tiny 12 week old kitten showed up outside the building I work in, I tried to make friends. The only thing I could find to feed it from the community fridge was applesauce (choices: Killian's beer mustard, chocolate pudding that expired in 2007, light yogart that had aspartame in it, and applesauce) and I realized when I took that to it that the poor baby was blind in both eyes, with an infection so severe in one that it was literally outside the socket and completely yellow. So, I sent it to the shelter. I cannot have a cat at my house, and I know the chances of the shelter putting as much money into the care as this cat would need are slim to none, so I'm sure it was gassed, but at least I can hope. Who knows? Maybe some volunteer vet tech fell in love with it and took pity enough to adopt it. That's what I'm going to tell myself.
