mythicalgirlThe snow has started although most of it is tracking to the north. So far we have a dusting and some sleet. The true storm is set to hit around 4pm this afternoon - right in time for everyone to go home. Yipee! Not only do I get to drive home trying to avoid all the drunken monkeys but I'll get to deal with shitty roads as well.
I love the Midwest. *sigh*
I've been seriously thinking about getting a pet and I think I'd rather have a cat than a dog. As much as I love dogs I just can't see having one when I work 10 to 12 hours a day on average. Dogs need to be let out in the yard to play and go potty. Plus they really should go for a walk every day. And I am not the kind of girl to want to get up early to take care of the pooch before I go to work or to spend time walking/playing when I get home from work. If I lived with someone else with whom I could share responsibility? Maybe.
The problem with getting a cat of course is that I'm allergic. I haven't been around any cats in so long I have no idea how bad my allergies are anymore. I might be better, might be worse. No clue. The plan is to get an allergy test done when I go in for my yearly physical. Hopefully the results will be good or at least something we can deal with. A cousin of mine has cat allergies but did the shots and he's fine with his cat.
It will be some work cat-proofing my studio and installing HEPA filters and stuff. But I really, really love kitties and would love to have one. I've been spending way too much time on petfinder.com looking for one to rescue.
OK. Enough drooling over felines. Back to work!
(wish me luck on the drive home!)
