Well, they say bad luck comes in threes...

Had a fairly huge windstorm earlier today that wound up splitting a maple tree in our front yard practically in half. Nothing was damaged except the tree, thank goodness; if it had been any bigger or any closer to the house, it probably would have ended up taking off the porch and/or my car.


Here's a full shot of the damage:



And here's how close it got to my car:



Here's a close-up of the split in the trunk:

It's been only five days since Toto died. Is it wrong that I want another cat so soon, even though we still have Sassy? Don't get me wrong, I love her to death too. But she's been strictly an upstairs cat ever since we got the dog, and it's so...empty downstairs without a cat lounging around.

I'm glad you're okay Kim. That tree could've done a lot of damage.

I don't think it's wrong, but you should do what you think is right on the new cat issue. I mean,it's you who's going to be living with the cat, not anyone else, nor can anyone else tell you what "too soon" is.

Well, unfortunately it isn't just me who's going to be living with the cat. I'm still living at home, so my parents' opinions and my brother's opinion also have to factor into it.

Ah. Sorry. I figured that since you were asking us you were just undecided on the issue.

[ladyiapetus]

Eh, it was more of a asking you guys/talking to myself kind of thing, but I don't mind your input.

And I can understand why you thought that way. I don't really like to admit (even to myself) that I'm almost 30 and I'm still living at home because financially I'm not ready.
