My cats? Still "helpful."

Azrou  is "helping" me outline here.

And as soon as I dump him off my lap, because he lays on my arms while I am trying to type and makes it impossible, then Amouch "helps."

Annnnnd this is when I give up and start reading blogs, which I really shouldn't be doing.

But very importantly, the cats are helping me stay calm.  There has been a metric fuckton of personal crap going on here over at Unnatural Forces, to the point where I now have a folder in my gmail labeled "in case."  Meaning, in case I need a restraining order.  So fun things, right when I so.  can't.  deal.

ANYWAY.  When shit comes up, and it makes me worry about my exposure online, I have to talk myself through the panic attack and remind myself how much I love this space.  Soooo, I'm just going to be over here trying to study and work through some shit which insh'allah is now all over with (IT BETTER BE), and I'll be back soon.

And I have to dump this cat off my lap, so excuse me.

  1. Oh my God, look at that contented look on Amouch's face :))) I'm glad they're helping you deal with crap. I'm sending virtual hugs, in case these might help a little to :hugs: :)

  2. Yes, Sane Person! I was thinking the same thing: she captured the archaic smile that Amouch does and it's wonderful.

    Gayle, I'm so sorry to hear about having an "in case" file. I'm sending you love and support.

  3. Yeah, Amouch is the smiliest cat - part of his charm. Makes up for the fact he blankets everything in his hair.

    And thanks, ladies! Seriously, I really just want all the drama to go away. I would like my life to be boring now. Please. Like, I feel I come here to the blog and just whinge about all these ridiculous things that happen, and that this is annoying to me and everyone else, and I would like them to stop now.

    {{{hugs}}}} ASP!!!

  4. You are in my thoughts Gayle! Stay strong :)
    Your cats are adorable, I wish I had pets too (my fishes just keep dying...)
    Also, I really like the word 'insh'allah' :)

  5. I HATE THE MODERATING COMMENTS THING. I keep getting an error message now. Fuck you, Blogger. Seriously.

    Ok, Vertigo said this:

    Which: thank you! And I love that word, too - ever so useful.

  6. If you can't whine on your own damn blog, what's the point? I'm sorry that things suck and that you might need a restraining order, but I am wicked glad you are documenting whatever is happening. Whether it's someone you know or not, take it seriously (working in domestic violence makes a woman incredibly skeptical), because your own peace of mind and safety are really fucking important.

    Off of soap-box, and a virtual hug.

    I hope things get better!

  7. Thanks, lady! Virtual hug back! I am hoping things are over now. I dropped the restraining order bit in the post as a HINT, to like FUCK OFF. So, hoping that was enough!

    And, you are right about my own blog! I had forgotten. Sometimes I run this space for me, sometimes I don't. I am just . . . tired of my own drama? Or, like, really, the drama everyone is dropping at my door? Like, hey crazy people? GO AWAY NOW.

    Seriously, we will discuss this over drinks soon :)
