tears and rain

it wasn't a great day today at all. well, it could have been much worse, but in grad school days normally aren't relative. so, things are crazy right now and i'm not sure what's going to happen or what i'm going to do.

that aside, i came home to spend time with my kitten. i needed a little furry thing to show me some affection and make me feel better about the world. however, when i came home, there was no kitten to be found. somehow, she had escaped (i swear that she was in the apt when i left, but idk...maybe she's related to the cat-houdini). so after talking with my neighbor and several teary phone calls with my mother to establish that she was definitely not anywhere in the apt, i decided to go outside, where she met me on the porch. that damn cat has one requirement: to be home when i come back from school. and she goes and blows it within a month of my adopting her. honestly.
