I'm a pretty fortunate Dad to be having such lovely, thoughtful kids and such a supportive wife.
It's a good life.
Happy Father's Day to the ones doing the job of being a Dad. You make the world better and brighter.

I used to be married to an active, vibrant, happy young woman who decided one day to hang a bird feeder in the back yard, and now I’m married to a glassy-eyed, unwashed maniac that stands at the kitchen window all day screaming at squirrels.

This last Thursday we learned Norris had cancer. After a day of love and cuddles with us all, we let him go, painlessly and peacefully. Though it hurt like hell to let him go, it was the best of all bad options.
We love and miss you, purrbox. X

Cat update: awaiting biopsy results and he's losing more weight. We are now giving him a high-calorie liquid diet in hopes his tongue's swelling goes down and he can go back to solid food...

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale.
Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

He's home for now. A biopsy and an expensive antibiotic injection later and let's hope for good results.
Man, I missed him today.

So... my cat needs to be sedated and examined today as his mouth is bleeding and he's losing weight...
He's the family cat, but he's always run to me first for fuss, climbed my shoulders etc for 13 years... I just want him to be ok, for all of us, but... he's "my" cat, my buddy. Please be ok.

Been slowly covering my sleeve for a couple of months (and celebrating First Contact last month). Been a whole new tattoo adventure, and I'm loving it!

Honestly... the Superman extended preview made me roll my eyes.

I sympathise and empathise. I have a similar problem with my neurological disability, which many people (including ones close to me) don't understand.
I hope you have better days soon and thanks for your post, it was brave of you and additionally helps me feel seen.

Being disabled sometimes really sucks, I have the vision the drive, the talent, the will, the resilience, to make all of my ideas real. And then my body will just break and I can't do anything for days and days.

The world sucks.
I wish to become a hermit and leave people to just get on with it, far away from me.
But then I'd get lonely.
