I burned two fingers while cleaning a kettle. this fucker hurts.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I've been alternating between cleaning and Tumblr while waiting for the rain to stop so I can get some exercise, but I don't think it's going to stop being wet anytime soon. I guess I'll put more Welcome to Night Vale on my phone and dig my raincoat out of the closet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's such a cool, lovely day. I keep meaning to get some stuff done, but then I forget and go back to sleep. Maybe summer is finally over.

I'm attempting to at least get some small tasks done today, like discarding random bits of paper from the top of my desk. Spare Cat is not helping, i.e. she's sitting on top of as much stuff as she can manage.

I got my errands run and now I would like a nap. My game is on a weather delay, which is confusing my timetable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe we need to hope for another rain delay, because it's not working out real well for us so far.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's so hard trying to figure out what to do with our sickly kitty. He is in kidney failure. We are giving him subq fluids and pills twice a day. He doesn't really want to be petted or picked up--just to be left alone. He is growing incontinent and barely eats. However, he seems comfortable and in no pain. He basically stays in one place all day and dozes.
We want to make the decision that is best for him, not for our convenience or because it makes us sad to see him decline. But it's so hard.

That is hard, Scrappy. Poor kitty. I'm glad to hear he's comfortable, though in a way it makes the decision making harder.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Scrappy, in your shoes I would have a serious talk with the cat, asking what he wants, and asking that he give a clear sign. I know Harvey would try to hang on until we were ready to let him go, which in so many ways will never happen. So we would have to find some eay to communicate that it is ok for him to go. But every cat is different, and no two animal/human relationships are the same.
