Robin

The world learned of the suicide of Robin Williams today, a force of comedic nature who inspired and comforted us all with his manic hilarity. 

The world forgets that with manic comes depressive, and with depressive comes despair, and that no amount of money or accolades can beat the monster. No awards, no SUVs, no mansions can thwart an attack on one's very mind. 

The world hopes for better, but does the world band together to solve depressive disorders? 

Not yet, in my world.

May you rest in peace, soothed by the calm silence of your tragic victory. 

Pieces of Peace

This moment, with my sweet boy Fonz on my lap, is what my aching body and wounded heart needed. A shy, "broken" cat loving his human enough to sleep, belly up, in the safe spot he knows won't hurt me...his "broken" human. 

Pure, unconditional love.

To add to my growing list of reasons I'm grateful my hub and I share our lives together:

    The man does not play Sims games, never has, yet he still helps me to come up with names or activities for them. 

     I am a longtime Deadhead, and hub dislikes to a huge degree, yet when he finds out Ratdog is playing near us, he offers to treat myself and a friend to tix, just so that I can have a great time.

I promise you all: if I can ever clone him, I most certainly goddamn will. 

Hopeful Cat Folks!

We just had the pleasure of meeting a new neighbor, who has one cat. She takes this one sweetly adorable lady cat on leash-less walks on our street, which is just off of a busy road. There is a stray cat, Ringtail, who loves the lady and her lady cat in a very gentlemanly way, but he has cat balls the size of baby fists. Lady cat is fixed, so that's not the issue. The issue is that, the longer Ringtail and his plumballs are roaming the town, the more stray litters will be born, who will then age to adults, who will make MORE strays, and so on and so forth. 

Today, as we chatted with our cool new neighbor and her fluffy kitty, we mostly convinced her to take Ringtail to a local low-cost spay clinic and then, to bring him into her home, where he can live out a good, safe life with good, safe humans. 

Yep; hub and I totally high-fived one another for that one. 

Cats need safety just as much as humans do! 🐱

No Worries

Previous today's were spent rushing betwixt parents, soothing ones' ego before spinning round to boost the other, exhausting my body and spirit pleasing them. 

Today's today is leisurely, relaxed (for now), almost peaceful. If not for the parade one block over, but eh...everyone loves a parade, no? 

Rah rah and all that shit.
