Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
5/29: getting through
...a difficult day. It started happily enough: grocery shopping, beer and soft pretzels (at home) for lunch to celebrate Chris' birthday, pamphlet-making in the afternoon. But Tilde the Cat wasn't herself, and as the day wore one we got more and more worried. We took her to the emergency vet in the early evening. On the phone they said it would be a 3-4 hour wait; when we got there, they wanted to turn us away and said the wait would be 8-12 hours. We stayed. They saw us after about 4 hours, and Tilde needed to stay over for care we can't give her at home. It is really sad and scary not to have her here with us, but I am glad that we took her to get looked at and that she is getting treatment. Fingers crossed.
