Dear Artemis,
You're such a nut. I'm not sure where you learned how to meow, but you trill more often than not. Your cute little face and bounciness makes me grin and feel so very happy. I'm glad Amanda saved you and your siblings and I'm ecstatic that you and your siblings broke down Scott's wall of determination not to have another kitten. I'm also so very happy that when I was trying to decide who I was going to bring home you came charging up and touched noses with me. You're an angel, even when you're being sassy.
Love,
The one you kneed and give kisses to every night.
Dear Peepit,
Mommy loves you so very very much. I love your purrs and your insistance that I cuddle and pet you. I love the way you play and then flop over to let me pet your belly my little buddha kitty. And your mews, and meows and everything else. Your love really really makes me feel better. Thank you my handsome boy. We kind of bowled Scott over and now you're doing such a good job of making sure he knows how much you love him too. I'm so happy that you're coming out of your shell, and while you're still a little leary of other people and won't let them touch you, you're wandering around while they are here. You're watching and getting used to people. I'm so proud of you little boy, for your cuddles, and your openness and talkativeness.
Love,
The one who fell in love with you at the shelter.
Dear Thor,
You're a nut ball. You're a demon child. You go so fast from absolute angel, to demon child from hell. You match your sister Valley oh so well, and are just like Loki when she was younger. Although I hate to have to tell you, you don't have the bits to mount Artemis anymore. Your little penis no longer has spikes, and you no longer have sperm. So you really should stop you know. I love you though little boy, with your kisses and your drooling, and the whole flop over like a maniac thing.
Love,
The NOT-a-chew-toy that provides food, warmth, and fly-time.
Dearest Loki,
You crazy little girl. You get so standoffish with the other kits then the other night you begged to be brought up into my lap. Where Artemis and Peepit were already sleeping. You crawled up and slowly melted like a little piece of candy. I knew that was what you wanted, and I'm glad Artemis makes you comfortable enough to do it. You curled up around her, stretched out your paw so that you had the little munchkin wrapped in your paws and slept. In turn she and Peepit wrapped themselves around you. It was adorable, and it was heartening. I want you all to be happy. You especially little bean.
Love,
The one who you watch over, and watches over you in kind.
Dear Valkyrie,
You beautiful smart little girl. You learned a new trick today. :) And you're working on another. You know how to give High five now, which amuses me endlessly. And we're working on play dead as well as still doing the "hold" thing. You're getting so much better at Hold. I'm betting within a few more weeks you'll let me put the treat on your nose. You've been watching over me baby girl, and I won't ever forget it. You sleep curled up with me, you have been good about keeping my feets warm and making me smile, even when you are being Demon Child number 1! Thank you baby girl.
Love,
the one who would move the world for you.
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your good wishes, thoughts, recommendations, and helping me try to figure out what's wrong with me. It means the world to me. I want you all to know how much I appreciate each and every one of you. I want you to know how special you all are to me. Both new and old. I cheer with your accomplishments, and I cry with your defeats. I may not say it often, but I care about all of you. And want to thank you for coming into my life to make me smile. You're each the spice of life, and let me tell you this life is rather spicy :)
Always,
The sick one who sometimes needs to remember to tell others how she feels.
I've decided that everything concerning tomorrow will depend on how I feel in 6 hours when I get up to try to go to school. I'm going to try. If I don't make it I will email the instructor, and I will hopefully get information back concerning my inquiries today. I'm going to go with the fact that I have documentation, I've contacted the school, and I've resigned myself to fighting when I'm all better to be able to finish the classes without punishment.
Doesn't mean I'm not panicking though. We'll see how I do in a few hours. Things have been sliding downhill again. I'm a little calmer since I'm at home where I don't feel as bad taking all the pills because if I pass out there's not much I need to do. Scott's here to watch over me and so are the critters. Scott's also able to keep a good eye on them and attempt to make sure that they have everything they need. (He does a very good job :) For someone who's first pet was Loki-bean, he's dealing very very well with the sudden influx of fuzzyhood into our lives. I'm pretty sure he enjoys them as much as I do. :)
Now to go and fetch some more rice, some more koolaid and curl up with Red Seas until I fall back to sleep.
