unpleasant post

I bludgeoned a kitten to death this morning. It wasn't for kicks, the poor thing had a broken back and needed to be put out of it's misery.

I was a little rude to the family that lent me the firewood that I used as a club. I felt so guilty that I went back after my bike ride and brought them a little tea and sugar I had bought to make amends.

Please realize that they were being really annoying. There I was wringing my hands, hoping the poor thing would die on it's own before I did the deed, while they all just stood around staring at me and whispering. People do that all the time. It's irritating even under the best of circumstances.

I wish I were more patient. In this case, it would even have saved me a little money. 

That poor little kitten.

Emily, I am amazed at you being able to put the kitten out of it's misery. You did the right thing, not sure if I would have been strong enough to do it. I know it was hard for you but thank goodness you were there to take care of the kitten so it wouldn't have to suffer any longer.
