And so it begins. I'm jealous.

I have felt this way for all of my life. This weekend, I may have lost my job, because I was not willing to put the interests of my workplace before needing to put my cat to sleep. When a co-worker gave me shit about leaving early, I said fuck money, slammed down what I was holding, and walked out, knowing I made the right decision. I could not stomach the fact that they expected me to perform my mechanial duties for $9 an hour, instead of taking care of the much higher needs of a living thing. He did not deserve to suffer any longer, and I deserved some time to take care of a very private matter. If I am fired, oh well. I know I am not wrong. I am exhausted and sick with grief, but it was some comfort to read this, and get some more reassurance that I did the right thing.

It is a great resolution that would be more easy to realize if we still had tribes and extended family around to support us. It is hard to be alone. I come from a long line of prioritizers. My grandpa was put in the brig for a month for running away from the navy to marry my grandmother. My other grandpa lost his job because he wanted to go to Catalina Island for his honeymoon and it was the depression and they said if you leave, don't come back. My dad followed in his footsteps; neither told their new brides until AFTER the honeymoon. Some things are more important. Almost everything is more important.
