good news and bad news
I've had a very busy, very stressful couple of months. Adulting sucks.
Let's get the bad news out of the way first. Just before Easter, my baby cat Lizzie died. She was one month shy of being 19 and it wasn't entirely unexpected, but it's still been a really tough week. It's been just the two of us for the past nine years. She was a very good cat, very attached to me. I keep expecting to see and hear her. It's lonely without her. It was time for her to go, but it still hurts.
Good thing I'm distracted by the good news, which is that I went insane and bought a house! (Though all the financial shit makes me want to say fuck it and forgot the whole thing. Why is it so expensive???) The house is beautiful, practically brand new, and in a great area. I already have so many ideas for decorating and organizing. If I can just convince myself that I won't go bankrupt in the process!
Needless to say, my grand writing plans for the year have fallen by the wayside. Sigh. Oh, well. I will soon have a fancy new office in my fancy new house. Hopefully that'll kick my muse into gear.
Hope everything is all right with you, my lovely flist. I've been mostly lurking, but I do read your posts when I can. <3
