Hang in there!

In the meantime, enjoy "Simon's Cat."

This is like us and you.

Oh, and since we're in my photobucket account, have the avatar I made for the favourite toys contest (that's Nelson and Fatteddy - bears my sister and I have had since we were babies, they were much fluffier then!)

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Ooh, you all outdid yourselves with those! {{{{{everyone}}}}}

Shoot, I thought I was totally cried out for the day, but apparently not...

ETA: Trampledamage, I like your toys avatar. I still have my first bear, too. Christmas 2010 was his 60th birthday!

 

[trampledamage]

Now that's a fine age for a bear to reach

Mine aren't that old yet, but they are serving an honorable retirement on the book shelves, so I hope they'll last.

Hey, Ziyal m'dear!

I'm sorry for the prolonged silence. I just moved into a new house and got the interwebs hooked back up.

I hope you're continuing to do well. We luv you!

Also, we need you at full strength for the partying.

Hugz!

^Can't picture myself strong enough to party for a looong time.

Enjoy the new house!

More cuteness to improve your evening!

First, the coolest cat pic ever...

And an equally cool pup...

 

[Kira's Mom]

I'm desperate -- send cute, send anti-cute, send almost anything!

Can you tell I'm having a bad day?!

Part of it is that my wound vac was acting up, so they had to change the dressing on the relevant part of the incision a day early. Unfortunately, they'll have to change it again tomorrow anyway, because I have a doctor's appointment, and she has to be able to see what's going on under the dressing. BTW, the reason I hate extra dressing changes so much is that, except when done by the very most gentle nurses, they're really painful. Grrrr.

On top of which something that one of the nurses said today, totally innocently, reminded me of a detail about the rape that I hadn't thought of in a long time, and I went into a PTSD meltdown. Spent half the day crying hysterically (yes, right throughout the dressing change and a couple other things).

A few weeks ago, I commented to someone that the cancer and surgery had thrown my PTSD back to where it was just a few weeks after the rape. What I realized today is that it's actually worse than that -- my symptoms are now worse than they have ever been. One rape plus one life-threatening illness (and all the incapacitating crap that comes with it) apparently equals not two, but three or four or maybe even five.

*hugs*

First, the coolest cat pic ever...

That is, almost certainly, the coolest cat pic ever.


This, however, is not, but I just saw it posted elsewhere a few minutes ago and thought it might also go in here:

 

[Avalon]

More cute.

Agreed - and I love looking at it, so I'm quoting it again

This, however, is not, but I just saw it posted elsewhere a few minutes ago and thought it might also go in here:

Aww... what sort of animal is that? A skunk with a liking for squares?

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Turn on your sound for this one...yes, they actually meow! THESE even seem like they're trying to talk! ("Hello! Hello!")

Apparently cheetahs are very gentle for their size...have your sound on for this one, too. Even if you don't watch the video, purring has wonderful psychological effects, even physical ones. I know I experience that, anyway.

And have a Siamese or two. More purring for the background.

It's a spotted skunk - I can't tell whether an Eastern or a Western, but guessing the latter. This one had only opened its eyes a couple of days before and is still pretty new at the whole "being up and walking around" thing, but it's got cute down.

 

[trampledamage]

He is so cute! And Valley Wildlife Care are on my list of charities to donate to now

 

[MANT!]

Some science for you...

And Godzilla wants you to get better....

 

[ElBurro]

*hugs* Feel better soon

In the meantime, here's some cute...

Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how I can convince housemate to let me get a pet pig let me know!!!

 

[Kira's Mom]

You know that tiger is thinking "mmmm, bacon!".
