Still no sign of Mei-Mei. We may just go to the shelter this week to see if maybe someone turned her in... if not, it's okay... I've decided that I'll just honor her memory by raising her kittens like I raised her... with infinite love and care. We've decided that the ones we keep will be STRICTLY indoor cats, and will not be let outside without leashes or in carriers. I may have lost Mei-Mei, but I'll be damned if I'll lose her children.
The kittens are doing well. They're attaching themselves to me as their new mommy. Whenever their box is near me when they're hungry, they try to clamber over to me, even in Rina is in the box to feed them. We have to move the box to the corner in order to get them to settle down. It's sweet and sad at the same time... But they're healthy and haven't been losing any weight, so I think they're going to be okay. I ordered some liquid formula and some nursing bottles from Petco.com yesterday with my debit card. I don't have much money in the bank, but I'm doing whatever I can to give those babies the best chance at life they can get. They should take to the bottles much easier than the baby dropper we've been using to suppliment their diets between feedings with Rina.
Anyway, my leg is getting better, slowly... I can walk a little better, but I still can't straighten my knee and lock it without it hurting and feeling really tight and stiff. When I put excess weight on that leg, it feels like the joint is gonna pop out again, and that would be bad. So... I'm still just kinda sitting around and hobbling about here and there when needed. So much for potentially being drafted, eh? A bum knee and a bad back... I'm the ideal army of one. XD
Um... what else? I've been drawing more, I guess... compared to when we didn't have internet. I drew a
dedication picture for Mei-Mei yesterday and I ended up crying off and on most of the day because it reminded me of her and how empty I felt with her gone. Some people might think I'm pathetic for feeling this way about a cat, but I'm always strongly attached to my pets. They're not just animals, they're family for me. ._. Atleast Spider's okay. His foot was cut open, but he's not dying or missing.
Nate's at graduation practice today. He's not happy about it, since he doesn't want anything more to do with Apponequet. I don't blame him... from what I've seen and heard of his school and its policies, it's fascist compared to Piedmont. Jesus. Atleast he's done there, though. I couldn't be more proud... it takes a lot to get through that shit, especially with bipolarism and an unstable household to come home to.
It's raining. I'm wondering when the summer will come. I'm tired of all the rain and the wind and the cold. Sure, it saves me from allergies, but so does Claritin.
Lol, since I've downloaded and installed the latest version of AIM, I've been exploiting the linked SN feature by brining back a whole bunch of old SNs of mine, just to weird people out.
So far, I have...
- eizyuh
- Vinedale Square (my home street in SJ) XD
- Fiddy Ten (don't ask, long story)
- Komrad Nathan (I made it for Nate :X)
- EevilCommieMan (Nate's usual SN)
- Daddoos (Nate's old AIM SN)
I am such a tard. I'm prolly gonna make or restore another SN or two of mine.
I should have some
prints and
merchandise available soon, so buy it, dammit! >:(
I'm still working on my forum and trying to get it running... maybe people will humor me and
drop by. >:(
