I'm just back from a visit to the vet. The cat came too, of course. Nothing major, for now (though I've to check on his breathing for the next week, on the lookout for something more long-term), just another of his knocks from outdoors escapades. But he's 14 now. And every bump and scrape, every fight, every hint of being off his food, every everything, has me imagining the worst. I'm pretty good at that anyway: thanks, Mum, for the inherited assume the worst panic mode, it's great. So I get myself worked up, and start wondering if this is it, If the end is coming. I lost his brother to a road traffic accident when he was 2, and since then, I became his substitute cat friend, only with an added ability to open the food pouches. We've been together through the worst of times for me. He's my baby, my crutch. Yes, I'm THAT woman (and couldn't care less, I'll take him over most humans, ta). For all his little annoyances - the fussy eating, the clawed-at furniture, the random attention-seeking howling - he's the best. And I'd be lost without him...

They say timing is everything. No, I don't know who they are, or why they say it, but just run with it, okay??? Mine is shit.
"Oh, I'll be more active in Popo! I'll get my chars all doing stuff again! Hey, I'll even post an ad for one of them, I'm definitely going to be around lots now!" Yeah, about that... Got caught up with busy stuff via Mason, been extra super sleepy in that RL place (it's completely normal to fall asleep before dinner, wake up late the next morning, then spill fucking coffee everywhere cos your brain hasn't quite caught up with the world yet, honest) , and, surprise surprise, I'm behind with stuff. So bear with me (or don't, entirely your choice), but I did say there was some slowness involved. So, ya know, wasn't lying :D As you can probably tell from the last post, today hasn't been a great day for me. Lost a hero, and I don't have many of those. I've got a blog post on Popo via Mason with loads of youtube links, but figured I'd do some more here that I didn't have room for over there. The music will always be here, but we won't get any more of it. That was helluva parting gift though. So here's some of my favourites. Enjoy. Starting off with a few from Hunky Dory, as it's pretty much my favourite album ever. A little bit o'Ziggy, because of course Aladdin Sane Diamond Dogs Station to Station Low Other Berlin trilogy stuff And finally - fucking hell, those lyrics... Hello fellow humanoids, a belated Happy New Year. Or Happy Popo Xmas, if you prefer. That one's on time. Score one to me.
Right, first things first, the new David Bowie album is out today. Go listen to it. Here's the Spotify link. So now that's out of the way, what's new in my world? Well... the holidays are officially over, so normality is slowly returning. And who's the sad fuck with the shiny new health gadgets for the new year? Oh, that'd be me. Yes, this will be the year I break out of my apathy and torpor and get something resembling fit and healthy again! Though I'll settle for being able to climb the hill outside my house without getting out of breath. Tiny steps (all tracked and logged)... Not quite back up to full speed popo-wise yet - I'm taking it reasonably easy there, breaking myself in gradually. I really do need to get back to writing more again though. Mildly amusing gif blogs will only get you so far in life. So here's a deal for you - if, a week from now, all my chars (kiddiwinks too, why not) don't all have at least one new substantive blog to their name, then you have permission to kick my arse. Metaphorically speaking. Over and out. |
