help me hang on

[bertha katzenengel]

I'm giving up cat rescue for a while - unless I have a golden opportunity to trap someone. I just don't have what it takes right now. I'm even calling Alley Cat Allies to ask them to take my number off their "these people can help" list.

Right now I am so overstressed, and there really isn't that much to be stressed about. I'm under doctors' care; I have chemicals that help; I'm seeing a therapist. Even so: sometimes it's just all overwhelming.

I know i'll make it. I know there is hope. I know I'll come through this a stronger woman. But working at it, waiting for the process to run its course, is brutal.

Thanks for listening.

(I think of two Stones' songs... can you guess what they are?)
