Kittenish passed away this morning. I've been out of town for three weeks but when she took a downturn, I got the first flight I could and she held on until I got there. I held her and she died in my arms. She was seventeen and a half and it wasn't enough time.
I'd been out of town because my dad has some serious health issues. He's been diagnosed with CNS (central nervous system) lymphoma and meets with the oncologist tomorrow. We're hoping he's strong enough to treat the cancer.
It hasn't been the best month. Or two. And I've not kept up here or anywhere.
Please to keep us in your thoughts this week. We just made an offer on a house and tomorrow at 7:30 board time Grace has another surgery. We are hoping for them to accept our offer and also hoping for Grace to be decannulated.
If you have any spare job~ma hanging around, I wouldn't mind some. There's a big transition at work and I'm hoping it doesn't end up being bad news. I have no idea what will happen.
Apologies for any spam you may have received from my aol account. Won't happen again.
If any Boston-area Buffistas are looking for an inexpensive large screen TV (42"), we're selling one cheap. Make an offer!

Redacted, sorry for necessary mysteriousness, y'all.
So, this has happened: [link]
So very excited!!!
I will be grey for the next two days, depending on how many robot parts they need to put in me, and how subsequently drugged I am, but I will post or have DH post to let y'all know I'm alive and flailing!
Wish me adamantium claws!
This is D posting for Strix. Hi, btw. It's lovely to meet you all. She is home from surgery. Everything went well, 5 screws and a metal plate. She says hello and she will be back posting as soon as she is not (in her own words) "a woozy fruit loop."
