the big bucks

t aceepted a new job a month ago that now requires him to commute 1.5 to the job.  it pays more and all, and is quite the rockin job, but the gas prices may kill us.  we have lived for so long as a one car family, and have done our part to be responsible consumers, not selfish consumers (except when it concerns peanut butter), but geeze.  gas is pricey these days.

to boot, we have a sick kitty.  our little socks is just nast sick and it is sooo obvious he is not feeling well at all.  he doesn't even want to eat, and that alone says a lot about the state he is in.  we are talking about a 22 lber.  so, hopefully he is feeling better by tomorrow or we are off to the kitty doctor.  and vets are not the cheapest people to go see.  we love him so much because he is terribly sweet and cute and so neurotic.  he takes after me.  i don't know that we can afford to drive him to the vet though.  i may have to take donations...
