I have got a thumping headache and I feel miserable. Yesterday morning while walking to work with the dog I saw a cat running down the slop of the grassed unused area. The dog saw the cat and the cat saw the dog. The speed of the cat startled the dog and she woofed lunging forward. The cat got scared and ran even faster. All this happening in the fraction of a second. I just saw a car passing by and dreaded the worse. The worse happened and the cat got under the car. As the car drove further I could see the cat trying to get up but it couldn't straightened itself from kind of curled up position. I think the back was broken. One eye has completely gone And the other was bloodshot. Lot of blood was spraying out of the mouth. I took my coat off to cover it while I pick it off the road but with the dog on my hand the cat wasn't happy for it and was hissing with the blood spraying even more. Eventually the driver pulled up further and started walking to us. He had not realised what had happened until he heard my screams. The woman from the house across came out and picked the cat up. She feeds it at times and knows who it belongs to. We walked away as they went in. I have not had a heart to go to ask how it is as I don't think it would have survived. All the time yesterday I could not get that poor cat's injuries out of my mind.
This morning there was a big bang that everyone heard. No one knows what caused it. It was heard around 1 5 miles radius. Sounded like a bomb blast but the firemen and the police still have not found the cause.
Now 5th November approaching the fire works will cause havoc with the animals. I love to watch the organised fire works but hate it when people just let them off at odd times any where and every where.
There was a bit of fire works with someone last night. I hate arguments and disagreements although I love debates and discussions. I am generally not described as a difficult person but I don't know what it is with this particular person that we always upset one another and misunderstand everything. It cannot be me. I have no problem with anyone else. We are good friends too. It is always like a roller coaster, one minute totally high and the next completely down. I absolutely hate it when someone misunderstands me and then refuses to let me explain.
I haven't slept before 3.30/4 in the morning for weeks now and tonight it is showing on me. I am going to try an early night.
