Why Magick Girl Hates Her Mommy

I went into the holiday season of 2006 with high hopes that this year might be better and guess what happened?
1) My car went on the fritz in October and finally, after 2 months, 3 mechanics and $1400.00 good old Iris is running just as she was before Halloween...so why all the money? Ask me what she is NOT doing and you'll get the answer. She is NOT stalling in the middle of the highway, expressway or intersections anymore and has had most of her service work done.
2) Just when I thought it was safe for me to be financially on track, despite the money spent on Iris, Wham...the bandit debt collection agency who sued me in 2003 and whom I've been making regular payments to for a year now hits me with a $1000 dollar interest charge and Levy's my bank account again...ON PAYDAY with a $500 dollar bonus on my check. Merry F%$&*g Xmas....but I grin and bear it and do what I can to not freak out. I call the company bullies and tell them, no, I cannot continue to make payments since I have no money because the levy has taken every penny I have. Besides, with what was in my account, they have all I owe them. Now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to pay the bank back for all of the checks they are going to pay and still pay my rent, utilities and feed my cat.
Which brings us to
3) Somehow, Magick Girl split one of her claws right down the middle. As soon as I noticed her sensitivity I did the responsible pet owner thing and took her to the vet. Mind you, this is my 2 year olds first visit to the vet....poor girl gets things stuck up her butt, shoved down her throat, x-rayed and finally, a special litter to help avoid getting the affect paw infected. When I got her home she was okay though a bit dazed from all the activity and the ride in the car. So we're fine this morning until I have to give her a dose of Kitty-biotics. I grab her and put her in my lap like I do when I cut her nails and pry open her mouth to shoot the meds down her throat. Now she hates her mommy...every time I try to pick her up after the meds she cries and growls at me.
Now you know why Magick Girl hates her mommy. I guess I'd hate me too if I had been tormented like that....I wonder how she'll react when I get her spayed in February?
Did I mention this visit cost me $343.00 and the check is being held until my next payday, when, if I'm lucky, my boss will stop the auto deposit so I can go to Palo Alto, cash the check and pay for everything I need in Cash instead of using my levied bank account?
