At least I can for now.
If you don't know what I'm talking about and want the detailed story, see my August Diary here.
The short version is that I'm a major depression sufferer and hit a particularly hard economic patch and thought I should give up my animals.
I feel like I owe the Daily Kos community an apology for posting that diary and stirring up the concern of so many kind folks.
At the time I meant every word. I was sure I'd best give my pets up because I didn't see any way out of poverty for us. Between the shortage of money and major stress at work, I was flipping out.
But now I have changed my mind. We might as well all stay here together - money is still tight, but better than it was. I even managed to get Frontline for Try, the cat, so she is no longer climbing the walls from itching.
I just have to stop feeling sorry for myself and get out there and get a better paying job.
