Its

not lunch.

...

With the rotten weather I decided to skip the knitting group tonight. I'm disapointed because I was anxious to talk to one of the members - she RSVPed in the negative for the holiday get-together because of I have cats and she's allergic. I'm taking the rejection surprisingly hard. I'm not upset with her (that would be ridiculous of me) and I can recognize on some level that its better she doesn't come than that she have a bad reaction (and probably ruin the party for everyone, quite frankly,) but on some level (the basest one, I suppose) it feels like criticism, like my home and I are contaminated, like my pets are rejects.

Crazy cat lady indeed.
