TCG just broke my calamityware mug, and it was just the last duck nibble I could take today. It's raining and I'm in pain, and now I'm hiding in my room so that ltc doesn't see that I can't stop crying. It's all just too stupid and pathetic.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

{{{sj}}} I'm sorry, honey. Crying is not stupid, sometimes you just gotta.

I had to pull myself together quickly because ltc fell and cut her lip and wanted momma. She's playing with daddy now, and I'm going to try to nap.

Good napping to you.

Our wings are not tired.
I do hope the nap is renewing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Waist cincher/underbust corset, or overbust corset? If she's looking for the former, I really like this one I got a few years ago: [link]
Steel bones, good busk, and the (heavy duty!) mesh panels mean that it's not horrible to wear on warm days.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
My sweet Taz cat passed away last night after a horrifyingly swift onset of renal failure. I know a lot of you have been supporting me on Facebook, and I don't need hugs or backpats but I don't know where else to voice this - how could I have missed how sick he was? I did notice that there was a lot of urine in the litterbox a week or so before we brought him in, but since our previous Taz problem was UT blockage and no urine, I didn't associate anything negative with it.
He wasn't eating on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and I called the vet on Wed and arranged to bring him in on Thursday - maybe I should have insisted on them seeing him that day. But my sister was coming to town and I had so much stuff going on.
I would have done anything to protect him, but I feel so awful that I didn't. I'm so heartbroken and lost right now.

Nora, I am so sorry.
Remember that cats try to hide if they are ill. None of the symptoms that you're describing would make me think that it would have been a medical emergency, and I would have waited for the Thursday appointment too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Nora, did I see you mention on FB that sweet Taz was maybe 13-15 years old? That's actually old age for a kitty, which I had a hard time realizing with Slinky, because she was active and spry until she was 18-ish. But with a kitty who's older, kidney disease can worsen very quickly, and that's NOT due to any failure on your part. When cats are older, illness just progresses quickly.
Taz was lucky to have you and Tom as his humans. You took excellent care of him. You did NOT fail to protect him, even though it feels like it right now. The only thing you failed to do was stop the passage of time, which sucks.
You know how I know you took excellent care of Taz? Because of what you're wondering right now. Bad pet owners don't wonder if there was something more they could/should have done. I mean that.
