Hope.

One hour.

Waiting is hard. Uncertainty is hard.

Operation: Don't Get Too Excited And Don't Get Your Hopes Up has failed. Backup Plan: Clean Until 5am was deployed successfully.

Yesterday I ran into the one volunteer from the shelter that I actually liked - she immediately asked when I was coming in to adopt Nostalgia. XD I was like TOMORROW. RIGHT AWAY. OMG. She also told me why Nostalgia was brought back to the shelter.

Because she walks funny.

Please bear in mind that this woman chose Nostalgia because she's SPESHUL. I cannot express my anger that people like this are allowed to care for animals. I am also really intensely grateful that she brought Nostalgia back. Because she walks funny. Oh Nostalgia baby, I'll be there in an hour. I hope they let me adopt you. ;_; Also - when they told me Nostalgia's Petfinder entry was a clerical error? Them telling me that was a clerical error. Figures. :\ What a giant cockup this has been. But! I have hope. I hope I will spend the next 10-20 years of my life adoring this cat.

Basically counting down the minutes now. I know technically I'm just filling out an application, but unless something comes up they usually accept it right off. I am trying to prepare myself for a waiting period - I would totally understand if they want to make extra-sure that Nostalgia in particular goes to a good home. Trying to brace myself for possibly being turned down.

Half an hour now. ._. Please, universe, if I can ask anything of you...

ohmigosh.

( Yes. )
