Finally got the chance to see Guardians of the Galaxy and it was awesome. As far as it matters to me, it was the last event of my birthday and it was a good end.
After all the kitten drama, my husband found a place that lets you use their traps to catch cats. And with that, some guys from my husband's work came by and helped him get the grate open. They put the trap down, and I just came home to find the kitten trapped! We'll take him to the clinic tomorrow morning. I'm very, VERY relieved right now.'
Kitten is inside. Gonna try spoon feeding it some milk to see if it'll get used to me. Seems pretty darn wild.
My faith in humanity and good people has been restored.
As most of you know, I struggle with being poor more often then I would like to admit. I have a decent job but paying off bills and rent all on my own has definitely taken a toll on my nerves and how much free money I have. Add in the fridge breaking down and my having to throw out all the food inside the fridge and freezer and my battling the fly infestations while pulling late hours and it gets more touchy.
So, I found out that after paying back everyone I owe money to from helping me with my last rent payment, I was AGAIN only going to have twenty dollars for the week to feed myself with. Then I got a phone call from a friend, while I was at work, asking me to give him the ten dollars I owed that I forgot or he wouldn't be able to get to work. After the phone call was up, I will admit that I sorta broke down and started to cry at the desk. Couldn't help it, it just hit me like a hammer to the face.
One of my bosses walked by and noticed and tried to get me to tell her why I had been crying and why I was trying to cover it up. After babbling at her a bit, possibly incoherently, I went to the bathroom and fixed myself up. Day went on as normal...
..until she pulled me into the office and told me that all the doctors in the practice agreed and chipped in to give me a secret bonus check of half again my paycheck for the week. It's my last month of having to pay everything on my own since I have a confirmed roommate moving in but now I don't have to worry about how I'm going to get to work or what I'm going to eat.
Edit: Gonna edit to also mention that they wrote me a handwritten note telling me how much they valued me, how much they knew I busted my ass just to GET to work (I walked 4 miles to get to work yesterday because I didn't have bus fare), and that I needed to keep my chin up. I think I'll always treasure that note.
Double post: Also, walking to work today in the downpour, I got soaked. This would be a MAD except there was a spare set of the doctor's surgery scrubs that he'd left behind and I opted to wear them instead of remaining soaked to the bones at work. They were massive on me and I, and my coworkers, took great joy in taking pictures of me looking like a mental ward escapee while wearing the silly smiley face footies we give patients:

@Piper - Keep that note. You can use it as reference material if you ever move on to get another job. Personally, I'd put that bitch in a picture frame and hang it on my wall too.

@Piper - Nothing like having people express their appreciation for all your effort. Too bad more people don't do it. That said... @Moirean and @Lyl Thanks for making the game fun and funny. I get so bored some times, that I feel like just quitting the game... Then one of you two goofballs show up and make things interesting.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is pre-ordered! Excited! Come onnnnnnnn November!

I decided to play the Witcher 2 after it popped into my head. I'd started it a couple years ago, got a good ways in, but never got to finish it. Just beat it recently, and now playing the first one while simultaneously reading the books and I just love all of it. Interesting, funny, cool, so on.
$300-400 is a stark improvement, and an easier effort, right now than a gaming computer to run Witcher 3. If Witcher 2's requirements were any indication.
I finally found a game I had been looking for for like, RL years. Critical Mass is a turn-based space game that I played the demo of repeatedly as a kid, and I finally managed to Google-fu its name and play the demo again.

I find more value in upgrading a PC, it'll do more for me in the long run.
I didn't really notice a difference between PC and console until I started getting into more game titles and watching my boyfriend playing on the computer. I was surprised by how many mods existed for Skyrim and Dragon Age. I'm thinking the next big purchase should be a PC that can handle serious gaming. I mean, the PC Deluxe for Dragon Age: Inquisition was only $10.00 more on Amazon and for how many mods will likely be available for it, it would be worth the buy.

So much love for last night. If I had to summarize it in one video it'd look a little something like:
the way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
open hand or closed fist would be fine
blood as rare and sweet as cherry wine
"The smell of dusty fur, sweet smoke, waiting and patience, a thing that time cannot kill. The moth that candles won't burn."
