Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Weird etiquette question with far too much background because it matters. So I am basically long term cat sitting my friends brother cat (in my house) so should I be offering to pay my friend when she comes by to cat sit for the weekend?
So the cat originally belonged to her mom who then passed away. The brother wants to take the cat eventually it is currently van-living so can’t, so she posted asking if anyone would be willing to take care of the cat for six months or so and also offered to help pay expenses. I’ve been thinking about maybe getting a cat so this seemed like a good trial run.
I’ve asked her to pet sit for like a day right when I got her, and didn’t offer to pay her. But recently I had her look after the cat for a week. She also coordinated having her niece come the couple of days she couldn’t make it. I will be offering (really just asking hot to best pay the niece) to pay the niece what my friend usually pays her, but I have no idea if I should also be offering to pay my friend?
She is doing me a favor, but I only need the favor because I am to some extent doing her a favor. But really her brother. And she had offered to cover expenses for the cat (I do not plan on taking her up on that) but it makes it feel odd to then pay her to look after the cat
Ha! JUST couple days ago we talked in therapy about me not being depressed anymore, and now I've had one of the deepest "slumps" I've had in ages.
But as a sign how much better I am than I used to, now I know it's likely a reaction to something (probably a combination of being out of my own home and routines for two weeks and being an extra on TV-show shoot yesterday, which while fun was also draining) and that it won't last. It'll probably last a day, maybe two or three even if it's particularly bad, but it won't last for forever and it's not automatically a sign of relapse.
Cats certainly have noticed I have a bad day. The clingier one is SUPER clingy and the more introverted one has stayed close the entire day too, even tried to break through a door when I closed myself in the bedroom.
