You ever have a month where you're basically sure that the world is trying to swallow you down whole and decimate every bit of contentment you have? That's pretty much been my month. My wife joked that maybe god really is against gay marriage given the sheer amount of awful.

-My cat is sick, very sick. She's been hospitalized and undergone surgery (actually more than one), and is looking at more care to try to assure that she will have a good quality of life. She has cancer, there is absolutely no doubt, sadly, about that, but the vets feel that as soon as we get her eating solidly and healed up that we will have more time with her as well as her having a good quality of life so that the last months or years with her will be on her terms. In this adventure we have spent pretty much all our money and begun using up the emergency cards which will be maxed out by the end of all of this, without regret mind you, but it's always stressful.

-My USB drive died. Many thanks to EE for trying to fix it, but it died which means I have several stories that I need to work on from either scratch or take from rough draft form and refine it. All while I spend most of my days at the vet or at my regular job.

-My wife's grandfather passed away yesterday, they live in Michigan which means we have to leave for a funeral while my cat is still hospitalized. The only good thing is, is the fact that because I wifed her I am able to take bereavement time off work to go to the wake and funeral. So we have that working for us.


At some point life is going to calm down, but jesus fuckity fuck I need it to slow down soon. The real highlight of all of this is the fact that my girl is starting to perk up and respond to what's going on, today she even went around the room investigating everything while I sat with her at the vet.
