The Bees is gone. Her dad just came and took her and i might never see baby kitty again for stupid reasons that have everything to do with him and nothing to do with us.→[More:] i didn't even get to video her standing on her hind legs with her paws in the air, singing and dancing as we liked to do.
It's bad timing and i'm very sad.
She's young enough to get over it.
i'm just very sad.

I'm sorry, eth. Hopefully you'll be able to work something out.

Oh crap. Sorry. That sucks. The sweet little Bees....

My dog disappeared 4 days ago and I'm sad too. I think it was because of this.

It's the least of bad things going on. i'm just very sad.
it's just starting to hail and storm out and my few close friends who are close by are on holiday and now she is out in bad weather.
My mood wraths outside upon the land.

Sorry, ico, is this usual?

She liked Bowie, for some reason i'd sing Ashes to Ashes to her, in that lonely warble of wan best wishes ...
i'm happy, hope you're happy, too...

Oh no. I hope you two are okay.

Here you go, ethylene.

Ashes to Ashes.

Thank you, jan.

i packed up her favorite toys except her favorite scrunchie, which i thought to keep for myself. Vaccuumed up the last stray litter. The aftermath of my bad dreams have to wrestle amonst themselves now.

Who is this person, and why does he keep taking kitty away? wtf?

posted by taz 28 July | 00:44

Taz, I think ethylene has some sort of joint custody arrangement with this guy.

posted by bmarkey 28 July | 00:54

So sorry to hear about it, sweetie. I hope you get her back soon.

Thanks, everybody.
The sudden shock and all laid me out for a day but i'm doing laundry now and making myself pull it together. Obviously the new Bees comics are put aside and i've got to move on without letting myself indulge in the idea of going full on down the hobo road.
There's nothing i can do to fight it but per usual i felt something bad coming a couple days before.
Just trying to be numb without being nonfunctional.
Not going into other senseless dramas and slaps in the face by fate.
Maybe i can finish up some projects and finally pull it together to take a wander. Maybe i'll marshall together my scattered spitual energies and do more dream walking. Maybe i'll show up on friendly doorsteps and go, "Hi, i'm ethylene. RL is weird, huh?"

i made her a focus of the positive things in life, a tiny muse and respository of unconditional love and wonder, so having her ripped out of my life right now wasn't ideal, to say the least.

i'm just babbling, running on, waiting for the usual minimization and ridiculde for letting such a "little thing" set me off so badly.

Don't mind me, don't worry about feeling obligated in trying to be positive or buck me up. i'm just going to put my stuff in the dryer and figure out what can be got on a Sunday.

I'm sorry, baby.

*reserves the right to hold out hope for a happy ending*
