misscath, I'm so sorry about the loss of your furbaby. I had to put my 18 yr old cat down on the 24th, about a week ago, so I know how painful it is. I'm missing her so much. I've never been so alone before. My heart goes out to you.

As far as your landlady goes, the nerve of some people. I can't imagine ever complaining about someone crying, let alone having the audacity to ask them to keep it down. It's so inconsiderate. People astonish me. I hope you are able to move away as quickly as possible.
