I Know It’s None Of My Business

I spoke with PW last night. Apparently she is flying back to the states the Saturday with the boyfriend who’s now a fiance to try to salvage what’s left of her stuff.

She said that El told her that the water mark was 4 inches from the ceiling, which is not good. Also the ceiling apparantly is dripping and El is afraid it’s going to fall in before they get their stuff. It’s none of my business but I don’t understand why anyone is letting El walk around in the mold and toxins considering she supposedly has a weakened immune system. El also told her that the door of their shed was ripped off and some of the stuff at the front of the shed had been washed away — PW is now upset about her five years or so of collected Hallmark Star Wars ornaments.

Now PW told me that she really misses her cat, but she’s grown accustomed to her “life of leisure” and really doesn’t want to stay in New Orleans and try to find a job and a place to live. She is going to ask El if El and her family will watch the cat until January (this is all part of the legality of moving the cat to England without him having to go into quarintine). However, she would much rather that I take care of the cat because she knows that El will forget to fill out the paperwork and take him for his vet visits he needs for the move and she trusts me to do it — last night, I was feeling generous; today I feel a bit taken advantage of.

Of course, part of what will determine if she stays or leaves is a visit to the British consolate or whatever in New York or Chicago to file for a fiance visa. If that falls through, she’ll try to go back on her passport, but of course, there’s a limit to how long you can legally stay on your passport and apparently someone actually keeps track.

I know it’s none of my business, but I really think PW should stick to one of her original plans of either staying with El or somewhere else in Louisiana and getting a job (everyone is hiring there now apparently) and care for her cat and take care of the paperwork herself or come up here to Maine with the cat and get a job and take care of her cat and take care of the paperwork herself. It’s a matter of responsibility. I understand that she’s “in love” and probably does enjoy the not working thing but if she truly loves and misses her cat as much as she claims then she would act responsibly. I mean, that’s what I would do in her place but then, I miss my cats horribly if I’m away on vacation for a week and can’t wait to get home to see them. Maybe I’m not normal. I just think it’s selfish of her to abandon her cat with someone and expect them to do all the work so she can reap the benefits…by the end of January, he might not even know who she is. That’s a long time in the life of a cat.

Well, I guess we’ll see once she gets here.
