Oh my gosh I feel so awful. I have been crying for the past hour. Part of this is personal, part of this is cat related.
One of my best friends lives in the UK (I'm in canada) and over christams was diagnosed with bone cancer. It hasn't been going well and I've been trying to plan a suprise visit. Last week her family called and she is off chemo until march 8 due to a bad infection so they thought this would be a good time to come see her, so I booked a flight for this weekend......leaving tonight (arriving in glasgow tomorrow morning) and coming back Monday afternoon.
Well I just checked my flight and it is delayed until tomorrow night, which means I won't get in until Sunday morning, which gives me less then 24 hours there (opposed to almost 48) with one of my best friends who does not yet have a prognosis (I don't want to think about it).
I got obviously really upset when I read this, and called the airline and there is nothing they will do (ie. put me on an earlier flight with another company) because the flight isn't cancelled it's 'delayed'
Anyways I very tearfully called my friends sister to tell her (i'm still going to go but this is just all so stressful and awful) and when I got off the phone I curled up on the couch crying. While i was on the floor pacing cello attacked my feet fairly violently a couple times but i tried to ignore him. However while i was bawling on the couch he leapt from the floor and wrapped himself around my arm and sunk his teeth into it (I am still bleeding) this off course made me cry more and i threw him to the ground.
I don't know whats happening or why he did this. I remember he bit me once when I was really upset about Kismet, but he never broke the skin until today. Now I feel guilty about throwing him (he is fine and at the fridge wanting to be fed) but I don't know what to do about any of this and i don't know how to calm down.
