Zeke and pizza.

I took Zeke to the vet to get his first round of shots and an exam. The bill was only $250 which was much less than the $400 I had made up in my mind. I do love this cat, but I also made it known that I was giving the cat away. And the entire vet office fell in love with this very sweet cat and I scored and found a vet tech who is between pets and is looking for a cat! omg. I had to clear it with both Megan and Christine – Megan immediately said – yes! perfect! give to the vet tech! Christine was a little more reluctant to ease the cat out of our house. She is a tenant who came to our house with a large dog and then over the years, has acquired 2 cats – so it’s crowded down there and the thought of four animals in that space sent me a little out and honestly, the reason that the cat is “mine” is because between the four animals, there is hissing, swatting and general uneasiness. Anyways, I slowly convinced Christine that she can’t adopt every cat she meets on the street. And then I texted the vet tech, who is a slow texter and we are meeting on Sunday to give the cat away. I won’t say it’s a done deal until the cat is out of my hands, but I’ve relished being a cat owner for a week and I will also be very happy to give the cat to a loving home. I canceled my amazon order of air purifiers, little broom to clean the scattered litter, the anti-allergy food, and kitty treats. Kitty is going to have a new home. Christine and Megan have also both changed his name to Rupert.

That afternoon, I volunteered at a Main Street event at a pizza place. This is Mama Peace, the mother of the famous Mattie Stepanek. She’s a board member of Main Street and hosts pizza nite every few weeks to talk about things like – stress, self care, etc. It was nice, I served pizza to my friends and helped clean up and set the tables back.
