I just spent $10,000 to make the house look bigger.
I just can’t stand the clutter in our home and have taken the opportunity, while Howie’s away for two weeks, to clean out the mess and devote at least two rooms of the house to my comfort.  My office is one 10 x 10 room where I don’t have to look at piles of books, newspapers, legal briefs, tissue boxes, salt shakers, head phones, exercise equipment, cat toys, pill boxes or the thousands of little porcelain things his mother left to him.
 
Now, I have reclaimed the bedroom/ dining room/ living room.  It’s 23 x 25 and all one open space.  I tore all of that awful wallpaper that Alan Schreier chose back in the 90s and replaced it with mirrors. I even mirrored the glass panels on the china cabinet full of his mother’s “lovelies” as she called them (Howie said) so that I don’t have to look at piles upon piles of tiny tea cup sets.
 
I take a deep breath of gratitude even now, for the ability to afford ways to cohabitate with the man I love, without going crazy.
 
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
 
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
