What to do?

I was reading LJ, and was stopped cold by the following append on catsgalore:
Hey Cat Lovers

I have a strong urge to take them if no one else does, but there are some problems. The biggest problem is that the construction work might continue for one more week after the 31st. Driving from L.A. to the Bay Area with two upset cats could prove to be entertaining too, but I could do it. Also, I planned to adopt ONE cat, not TWO cats. However, they've been through enough trauma (first their owner disappeared and then one of the cats disappeared) that it doesn't seem fair to split them up.

On the up side, Random plus the two kitties sounds like an arrangement that might work. All three of them are used to living with other cats. Random also thinks that he's an alpha cat, so if he's with cats who won't challenge him, so much the better. The most silly reason is that I've always wanted to have a calico cat.

I also like the karma of adopting them. It would signify that I'm still in the game, somehow, that I'm doing something worthwhile rather than coping with the latest stuff. Funny, the last time that I was in L.A., I was wandering around the Hollywood area after Greg died trying to Make Sense of It All. Still haven't made sense of it all. Discovered more mysteries instead.

Wonder if anyone down in L.A. would be
able to deliver the cats to you? This
seems more reasonable... Unless you
want to meet the cats first? I don't know,
seems like a whole lot of energy would
be spent/used to pick up the cats, and
having two more cats along with Random
to care for while all else is going on.
Please don't feel I'm being overbearing,
I'm just giving you my perspective.
When I've had much to deal with, and have
added into my life extra responsibilities
when I didn't really have to. You know
yourself better than I)

I do believe the reason I'm feeling better
now is that I simply won't take on more
than I can handle because it backfired on me
when I did this. I've been giving myself
permission to rest my mind & body minus
the guilt I once had when giving myself slack
time. :-)

Hmm, good points. I need to think about them because I had just about decided to say I can take them. Certainly if I was well, taking them would be the thing to do. I'm not sure what the right thing to do is given my illness.
