    Putting my kitty down this afternoon. Almost made it to 20. Very sad. On Xanax though.

    Edit: thank you everyone. He’s gone now. We had an at-home service put him down. He went incredibly peacefully, purring loudly as the first injection went in.

    We’re about to drive him to his brother’s grave (who died five years ago) and bury him there so they can forever snuggle.

      It sounds like you gave your kitty a long, love-filled life. I’m sorry they can’t be with you longer.

      Thanks for giving your kitty as good a life as you could. Don’t let the end cloud your vision from the good times.

      If/when you’re ready, there are more lost souls to save out there. I wish I could have cats myself, but I am not stable enough to house them. Maybe some day I will foster, but even that is probably to much for me to handle.

        Thank you for your kind words. He lived an incredible life. Working is going to be a lot more lonely without him constantly bothering me to snuggle with me all day.

        When his brother died five years ago, he was so lonely… so we adopted two baby kittens so he could be their mum. He took to them immediately, cuddling and playing and loving them. I think that might have extended his life. They’re a little confused right now with him not moving, but we didn’t let him see his brother after he died, which I think was a mistake.

        About to go drive to his brother’s grave to bury him with his brother so they can snuggle eternally.

    Every day I go to all my part time jobs, and they take so much from me that I cannot recover what I’ve lost before the beginning of my next day of shifts.

    Every day, I lose more and more of me. Until one day, there will be nothing left and I will quit one or all of my jobs and be unable to afford housing, and become homeless (again).

      I wish I could work out like I used to when I was unemployed. I know it would give me more energy, but there is nothing left at the end of the day to invest into me and my health.

      Whatever, who wants to live a long life anyways? Just more rent payments, more scammers, more assholes in my life.

    So excited and so overwhelmed.

    We’re moving from the US to Denmark soon. We just had a hurricane destroy our city. We are fine, thankfully, but our city is in bad shape. I also just had a decently big surgery a few weeks ago and my doctor’s office is gone, so in the midst of all this I have to find a doctor. Just coincidental timing on all of it.

    But it’s net positive. I look forward to the future more than I dread the bad stuff.

      Is it that bad? I had thought the buildings would have mostly survived given the city was built to withstand them and that it was just too dangerous for people

      How do you recover from that? Does insurance cover it?

        I’m in Asheville NC not Tampa. We’re not built for the hurricane we got.

        Insurance covers very little. Not the fact that the city won’t have water for months, nor access to you property, nor flooding for the majority of people, and many many businesses are gone

    Like my life has been stolen from me. I am left with nothing.

    Isn’t having cancer alone bad enough?

      Ever try psychedelics? I fully understand they aren’t for everyone, but it helped me get away from the autopilot feeling in life.

      Unfortunately, most days I wish I could go back to autopilot. Being aware and present can be a curse.

      That’s good to know… I have the same feelings whenever I go back home from college… like college is good but nothing is cozier or nicer than being able to rest after a busy day

    Since the last bout with COVID and subsequent bronchitis, I’m always exhausted and my lungs seem to hate me. It’s slowly improving by the day but that’s the worst bout of COVID I’ve had.

    Fully vaxxed, other than the recent one for obvious reason

        The pain of life does not last forever. We all find peace. For a few, in this life. For the majority, in the next.

        Only 40 more years of my shift left on earth and I can know peace for the first and last time.

      I too suffer from long covid. I remember a time before when I didn’t constantly cough all day. Good times…
