So it turns out that the local animal shelter will cremate your furbaby for free if you don't want ashes back, and I don't, because YEARS of having the urns of my grandmother, sister, and step-father watch me from the mantel as I watched TV, yeah, no, thankyouanyway. So yeah. I cried and was embarrassing as hell and dunt care cause real feelings ( Read more... )

My babykitty Chessie crawled up on my lap tonight and curled into my elbow like she likes to do. I petted her and watched my copshow. Then she started wheezing and convulsed and then she was gone. She hasn't been sick. She was twelve. I don't know what the fuck. I am very sad and I hope that in some reality her Grammy Sue was waiting at the rainbow ( Read more... )

no, I haven't been journaling and I said I would so I suck. It has been a difficult and painful Winter, pain making me take to my bed for a week, snow keeping me housebound for another week, cabin fever setting in and it isn't even March yet, holy hells is it over yet ( Read more... )

When we get up in the morning and Chessie hears us in the kitchen she will put one paw out the gap under the laundry door to let us know that she is awake as well and wants out.

(the first snow always makes dumb shits with bigger pickup trucks than brains drive more moronically than usual) But it was snow, the first time in my life I can remember being happy to see some that did not involve a Yule ( Read more... )

Really, I just spend a lot of my time playing with the kitten. I get nothing done whatsoever and I do not care. Yeah, I am scratched and bitten head to toe because she is in the teething stage (mom and I look like some kind of rash has overtaken us) and usually we make an attempt to distract her with a chew toy or something, but, um... yeah, not ( Read more... )

Good News: still employed despite relapse of right hand not working (prednisone on the way from pharmacy to solve that). And I am working both Saturday and Sunday now ( Read more... )

I started my new job today, working in a little bookstore/deli/coffee shop. Eight plus hours on my feet and I think I might be d*e*d dead. Arthritis sucks, a LOT. My knees and ankles and hips and back and hands and shoulders are killing me, really, like bunches. Gah. But the job is fun and I got nice compliments from my new boss (manager of the ( Read more... )
