I've been working 60 hour weeks since..February and it is starting to take its toll. My friend saw me coming in from the parking lot and said it looked like I was having difficulty walking. Apparently I am staggering or something.
I have placed 2 cats and am intaking 6, including a litter of 4 kittens. That will bring me to a total of 21. I do have one on hold scheduled to go home 4/22. It is now Wednesday. There were 54 cats dumped at a no kill shelter in Kyle Monday and 30 dumped at a kill shelter in Austin Tuesday and I can't take a single one. People complain about the high adoption fees, but we can't really adopt out for less - I am still spending more than the adoption fee (sometimes much more) on each cat. It is all tax deductible, so I will get a whopping deduction at the end of the year, but financially and emotionally I can't take on more than I am already doing, and it isn't even a DROP IN THE BUCKET. It drives me MAD.
Oh yeah, then there is school. I'm managing to keep up with one class but I am going to have to drop the other. There is just no way.
Just wanted to vent a little. I've been mainlining sugar and caffeine again today to stay awake, and it is only Wednesday. At least I have the next 2 days off.
