[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 216303, member: 3626"] There's no real compellng reason she's here. She is helping me move, albeit not quite as much as I had hoped and not without some whining but she is helping. Truth be told, when I'm tired of her, I tell her to go home. When I'm enjoying the visit or there is a need to have her here, then she gets to stay. Kind of selfish of me, but it works most of the time. Just so everyone understands, the cats did have food. It was just the dry stuff, though. They didn't get their am treat of wet food. The cat boxes being dirty were a different issue. That had me furious. The sink full of dishes had me seriously ticked off. Fortunately, she was in her room with the door closed and I went and laid down so that I had a chance to calm down before anything was said. Maybe that's why her reaction was such a surprise to me and why I reacted so strongly? Anyway, I'm not going to show her the door. Yes, she still pulls a lot of the same stuff that got me to tell her it was time for her to move out but now she is here at my sufferance. If I have had enough, I can tell her to go home. Normally, if I ask her to clean up her messes, she does it now with little argument. Yesterday was an exception. So, most of the time I enjoy her visits. She does help me with some things. She is so much more pleasant now than she used to be. We actually can sit and have real conversations. Is she using me? To an extent but that's okay. I accept it for what it is. She is maturing and I basically like the person she is becoming. Not everything about her but enough that we can laugh and have fun together. I'm content with that. It's more than we've had in a long, long time. [/QUOTE]
