Grey and depressed October 25, 2005 ~ 4:05 pm

It’s grey and rainy outside, I woke up to a puddle on the couch (thank Goddess for the couch condom) and a puddle of nastiness on the carpet courtesy of the Piss Crusader. It’s official, he’s still sick, and we have an appointment with the vet on Thursday to try and figure out what’s going on with the diarrhea. Is it too much to ask that he get better? I try to take good care of him, but this is getting depressing - I’ve lost count of all our vet visits in the past year. It’s really frustrating.
And now I’ve got an email in my inbox informing me that we’ve just passed the 2,000 mark on American troops that have been killed. I know too many people who have been sent to Iraq, are there now, or will be going within the next six months. It’s pointless, and yet the Bush camp and the war hawks still try to pretend that they’re not sacrificing these lives for oil. There is no other reason for us to be over there - democracy for the Iraqis? Bullshit. WMDs? Bullshit. Rebuilding the Middle East? Bullshit. No matter what spin they put on it this week, the stench of bullshit remains.
And it’s still pouring outside. October 2005 is now officially New York City’s rainiest month ever. EVER. This is not helping my mood.
