( The weekend -- mostly good )
We returned home to Arcadia to a crisis, however.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tocityguy was extremely upset over some personal stuff I won't go into. However, we're all very concerned about him, and hope that he takes care of himself and not others over the next few days.
More unexpectedly, we returned home to find their cat, Hexy, missing. Eventually, we found him outdoors. The screen in the upstairs bedroom had been loose, and Hexy had fallen out the window.
Frantic searching for a nearby emergency animal hospital ensued, and then they left with the poor kitty in tow.
Hexy has multiple complex fractures, which will require surgery. The emergency hospital splinted him and gave him painkillers, for a price tag of $500. The surgery, however, would cost $2,000. Another place might be able to do it more cheaply, but how much so? We don't know yet.
When they moved into Arcadia, they presented the super with a long list of things in the house that needed to be fixed, and informed him that kids would be in the house and so things such as the loose screen MUST be fixed. Since then, they have handled fixing large swathes of the list themselves, and submitted the list a second time to NO avail.
There is some hope that perhaps, perhaps they could get the super to pay the bills for Hexy's surgery. But it would probably be a difficult battle.
...
The weekend brought a lot to mind. Lots to think about, especially after that divination night. By and large, I'm happy but worried about the residents of Arcadia. Three of them cried on my shoulder in one night. They need our thoughts and prayers.
...
Positive things:
-Congratulations topyat and velvetpage on the birth of their beautiful new baby!
-Congratulations tokaidevis on your upcoming uncle-hood
-Congratulations tolaura47 on your paper (and class!) grade!
-Congratulations totaikakettu and her loved ones on her finally getting a work visa!
I know there are other shout outs I wanted to put in here, but the details of 380 LJ entries is fading. If there's something I should know or respond to, please contact me directly.
