What a waste of energy and emotion for you! Sound like you told her your not getting evicted right? What did she say to that, "Oh, I must've misunderstood him"???
Tell her you had to put all but 2 of your pets in shelters and they were put down. Let her think about THAT for a while.... I know, 2 wrongs don't make a right, just indulging in childish ideas here! How are you otherwise? You must have had a nice time in CT? I hope the weather was decent! New England weather can be so bad, then good, then bad, day to day!
