Warning: This post is pretty much venting on my part. The picture I chose has nothing to do with anything I said, but it was just too cute not to include!
On the minute chance that anyone noticed, yes, I did take down my rambling post from a few days ago. Note to self… Do not engage in blogging when utterly exhausted.
Anyway, yes, it’s true. I really cannot wait for this year to be over. With the U.S. election finally being over, I expect I’m not the only one.
Really America, what happened there? Why on earth would you put that man in the White House? These are of course rhetorical questions that I don’t expect, or want, anyone to answer. What I do know is that some of my American friends and family are justifiably worried, especially those in the LGTB community. And I’m worried for them.
Aside from the rambling post I left up briefly, it has been nearly a year since I’ve posted anything. My plans for this blog haven’t gone as originally planned. Part of the reason for that is the same reason I don’t blog under my name…real life drama that follows me online.
Speaking of which, on what world is it okay to attack your child’s chosen spouse every single damn time you talk to your offspring? You don’t have to like or approve of your children’s choice in spouses, but you sure as hell can show some basic courtesy.
In other news, my world has been turned upside down this year…
In late February, we lost the last of our senior furbabies. Aries has turned 15 about 6 weeks before we had to say goodbye. His kidney disease, a common condition in older cats, progressed faster than expected.
Understand that until the day we had to euthanize Aries, I had never lived a single day of my entire existence – and I’m in the latter half of my 40s – without having at least one cat.
This is a huge paradigm shift in my world and frankly, I hate it. I’ve already had my life shrunk that of a hermit where the internet is my only regular connection to the outside world. The single biggest factor that has seen me through so very much, especially through a lifetime of health issues, has been my pets. And now they are all gone.
We talk about getting another kitten or cat, insured of course, but for reasons I won’t bother going into, I doubt it will ever actually happen.
That’s it for now. Thanks for reading.
