Silly Putty and Apologies
5 years ago
There is no gift more precious or rare in this world than true love. Treasure those who share it with you.
Sorry for not posting so much in the last couple months. It's been a bit of a time, lately. *chuckles* There's that old saying "when it rains, it pours" and it's definitely a colloquialism which has earned it's place in our collective consciousness' little golden book of phrases. And what a rain it is...
Before I get into that I just wanted to give up some love to the awesome folkes who've given up some of their time and considerable talents to create some fantastic art images for our family, mi amiga y esposa,
Sanita_Squirrel y nuestro demonio pequeno, Edgar-Vincent. I really can't thank you enough, commission artists who took on projects and gave them their personal spin with so much time and attention, utter sweethearts who just decided to spread the love <3 and hammered out some real adorable gift imagery, thank you, all of y'all wonderful folkes. there's never enough love and positivity in this world and seeing what some of you have managed to craft has been truly heart-warming.
I don't want there to be any lack of clarity on this point.
If I haven't gotten around to posting your imagery here, it isn't because it's not appreciated. PLEASE do NOT even entertain that thought. Oh sweet Satan's wings, no. Nothing has been done deliberately as a personal slight and if you find yourself in the camp of folkes who feel that way- I am really sorry if my perceived inaction contributed to that. I've not really been online much for squat-doodily-shit-biscuits in the last couple months, mostly for reasons of personal health and family issues. I'm going to try and get a couple things up today and maybe correct that column in the ledger...
The rest of this is a bit unpleasant, so if you wish to end things right here and go on your way with a tip of the hat and a smile, you go right ahead. *coughs and tips her brim* Big love and Ave Lucifer to you and yours. <3
For those who've kept up with me here over the last couple years, it's no surprise to know that my health has been precarious of late. Degenerative issues which have been on that uncertain horizon of "maybe" have been more present issues these days. *laughs and coughs* Trust me when I say, I'm not happy about that but, as I try to remind myself- hey, at least I still look good *shrugs*. It's been a very painful reminder of a great many unpleasant things, from just how many minor moments of comfort we all take for granted, to what it means to be a friend and just how many persons will claim such a mantle, while abandoning their 'loved ones' as they become inconvenient.
That last one has REALLY hurt these last few months.
On top of which, the fun of this intriguingly nagging cough and respiratory distress which I'm currently waiting for the test results on. Big fun there. May have "the plague". May not. May have exposed my family to a potentially fatal virus. May not.
You want something to make you feel guilty...
Add to this the odd eustress(yes, FA Spellcheck, that is a real word) that, yes, for those of you wonderful folkes who can do the math and know how many months there are in a year and how certain biological processes play out will recall that our household is currently sitting on a landmine of "any day now" which has had me on a bizarre set of pins and needles for the last nine months which stir in me emotions which I do not have words to express. This time last year, there was no Amber Santiago Black. Now, there very VERY soon will be and It looks like I it's very likely that I will get to meet her- our daughter, a thought which I never hoped to entertain.
Anypoop, before I let this just keep going on and just make it a big rainstorm of dookie, let's end it on a bit of a happy, eh? Whatever cynical bullshit you were thinking about posting today, stop that. The world doesn't "suck" but times can be difficult and people can sure be assholes sometimes. *smirks* Love yourselves. Love one another. The morning star will guide us all to a brighter tomorrow, because it is us. Ave Lucifer.

I'm sorry to hear you and yours have been having a rough go of things, and I wish you all the best!
