Resolution

Haley has a home.

The couple I had hoped would be interested have her and things should go better for them than they did with me. I'll still get to see the kitten, since technically I'm the godmother (dogmother, in my world) and she may even make trips down to the game store, which would be cool.

That's a relief. She's going to a good home, and I don't have to worry about her.

On another front, some things have come to light that make that slow burn I've had since last week want to boil over. Lies and manipulation aren't acceptable. When you're doing that to your own flesh and blood... well, karma bunny's gonna kick you in the balls. Which can't happen soon enough.

No, this isn't something directly connected to me. It's a situation we wish we had more control over, but don't. It's a situation that could be solved in a lot of ways, none of which I'm going to go over in any kind of public forum.

In any event, it put me in a foul mood and convinced me I didn't need to go out tonight. Yeah, I know I've earned a night out with friends, but I'm cranky and don't need to be drinking. I've got a bottle here if the urge strikes. But I doubt it.

Instead, I'm gonna fire up the PS2 and let Cassie and Roscoe enjoy my company. And think fond thoughts of Haley who is just cute enough to keep that anger/depression from creeping in more than it already has.
