cat

My kitten, Loki, is a very demanding little sir. Yesterday, despite suffering with very bad sciatica, I went over to my sister’s for the afternoon and early evening for dinner. I spent the whole time chasing and tickling my nephew, playing with him and his new toys, etc.

So, naturally, I had to take extra painkillers last night to actually finally get to sleep at around 2am. Which meant I woke up quite late this morning (around 10am). When I rolled over and tugged open my curtains, Loki was just sat there, staring into my soul. It was eerie. 😂

The second I managed to sit upright he legged it over to his food bowls (he has one always full of biscuits and then a few times a day he has wet food). But the way he practically SCREAMS his meows at me, you’d think I hadn’t fed him in weeks. My Loki, the Drama King and God of Mischief. 😂 I’m so glad I have him, though. He seriously cheers me up on days where smiling feels impossible. He’s a good boy, really. He gives me lots of cuddles when I need them.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not (but it probably is), but since my lower back has been painful for the last couple of weeks, when he crawls under the covers with me in bed, he lays behind me, curled up at my lower back. The heat from his not-so-little body eases the spasms there. 🥰

This is my fur baby Figaro, my emotional support animal. I’d love to see all your famous fur baby pics. Focusing on positivity today #Bipolar1Disorder #Positivity #Cat #Furbaby

On bad days, she and her brother make me move and comfort me. On good days they're my bffs that make me smile.

I felt it was best to refrain from posting these past few days. I was very #sad , #confused , & #hopeless due to my heartwrenching experience at the shelter I went about a week ago. I was even #Feeling like there might very well be a #Curse on me & my life. I pretty much believed that any & every thing I might & would do or try to do, was destined to be #tradgedy & cause me more #Heartache . To put it honestly, day to day was kinda "touch-and-go" moreso than ever. Recently, it came to a head, and I honestly felt that i had no idea if I'd be around to see the next day. But today, I brought home a new #Cat . He was the best cat there at PSPCA. (Pennsylvania SPCA. ) health-wise, age-wise, & he is calm with a #wonderful temperament. He is asleep on the couch with me right now. I like it at cold temps, but I not want him to get sick. He doesn't (yet) seem to feel ok about having a blanket over him, for warmth, but then again, he is just getting to know & has to have a bit of time to learn he can #Trust me. Anyways, I am keeping my leg against him for him to have my body warmth. I am SO pleased the way the day turned out. Had some very rough spots there, but it ended up not getting the best of the situation#. I have my baby! His name is what I consider extremely anti - #Christian . I don't even like to say or write it. I have been calling him "Baby" when I talk to or call for him. Still, I'm taking my time about giving him his permanent official name !!!

Pains bad. I haven't been resting enuf today. Need to shut off my phone for the night & lie down try get rest & sleep. I have found, with this "whatever"-illness they've called "fibromyalgia", &/or "chronic wide-spread pain", that getting enuf descent rest & sleep makes a GIGANTIC difference. In the pain-level I've got to endure tomorrow. 💤💤💤💛✌💌

Here's placing my commitment to engaging in positive thoughts that will work positive energy that will materialize my wish/prayer that this year, & many following, will be MUCH MUCH BETTER than 2022 was to/for me.

And I #Hope & #Pray that 2023 bring MUCH #Joy , #peace , & #relief to #all of us that #Suffer from #devastating effects of #ChronicIllness , especially those of us whom are asked to #endure #ChronicPain , especially those of us, that suffer continuous non-stop pain, especially those of us who's entire body is afflicted, for I do know that #Pain does kinda cancel out/prevent us from any/all pleasurable #Emotions . At least, personally speaking, I'm always miserable, & since I lost my cat a little past last New Year (of 2022),, so went my smile, & any & every semblance of the person I was. The person I liked being. Please, #god , give me a sweet cat soon. Very soon, I'd really #hate to #Lose hope again. So please don't hold back on my #blessing of a cat too long. I need #help & #relief . Please don't make it all disappear into the #dark #pit I've lived in. For all too too long. #please bring me #light & #Hope to see this to its fruition. I need to bring home a Cat. Know that. You do. , I ask,in #Jesus ' name. Thanks for reading my post, all you caring & supportive #mightyfriends 🙋💗🍬 #MightyTogether #peace

Well, didn't work out with the shelter my friend & I went to a little over a week ago. As I posted earlier, they tore out my broken heart. #good thing is, another friend & I are working on an alternative means of adopting from a different, more considerate #Shelter , where we will have a much better chance of my bringing home my new #Furbaby . Here's putting #Hope into my #wish & that it will work out #wonderfully . 🙏

I #Wanted I #Needed I picked out a black cat 5 mo. old cat at the shelter yesterday. Is very hard to talk about what happened after that. I was extremely so upset I got a bit deranged awhile, & I'm still not back yet. I feel like someone stole my baby. I felt that way, as we walked out into the car - empty.

I am considering talking with my good friens, hopefully soon, about tomorrow morning, when she comes to visit.im I think she will help me, a*nice I think & feel I might have a good chance to be able to care for & love now that I'm closer to better pain treatment. Maybe I'll have to wait - maybe wont come by Christmas, maybe - yeah, I am gonna try again. The New Year will be a year of Dramatic Change. I think I'm gonna have. A cat soon. (Was forced to put down (very humanely) my Gracie, just after last New Year. She had an extreme case of diabetes & it was gravely compromising her well-being, & she could have been in pain too. I want a Cat.
