My eldest cat died today. She was 12 years old and had breast cancer.
I was holding her paw the moment she passed away... she was in a lot of pain.

May her soul rest in peace.

I'm so sorry Angerona.  :(

I'm glad you were there when she died and that even in her last moments she was being held by someone she loved.

I made tom kha soup and I forgot to add water to the coconut milk. On top of that, I used a little too much oil while cooking the chicken. The result is that my soup is like liquid coconut grease. =/

Double trouble is that I can't afford to waste food like this. I'll either eat it bit by bit over the next day, or add water post hoc and hope for the best.

Alas! Tom Kha is easily my favorite Thai soup! (and soup in general). Hopefully adding water now and letting it simmer for a few minutes will fix everything.

No Soup Left Behind!

I just threw my desk chair across the room out of anger and broke it.  Really lame move.

Join the club of people who own broken things. My desk chair's arms are both broken, and the thing creaks when I lean back in it. So far, though, I can still sit in it!

Also, my moccasins are literally disintegrating from wear.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Sajainta. They really helped me... I only wish she hadnīt suffered that much but I hope that now she will be having a good time in Heaven.

Sometimes I feel having a pet is like having a child that will usually die before you, really creepy if you think about it. -___-|||

Yeah, it pisses me the fuck off. I want to have a pet, and my biggest argument against that is the fucking heartbreak that comes when it expires. Eternal life can't come fucking soon enough.

Wait wait wait wait. You're unwilling to have a pet because it will probably die before you? How the hell is that even remotely in the springtime of youth? That is like never dating because few such relationships end in anything but heartbreak.

The thing is, Zeality, life is like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guidebook, you've got to throw yourself in. Eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers.

Or is that just me?

Sure, there will be heartbreak, but pets bring a lot of joy to life as well. You're not going to stop living just because you are afraid of death, are you? Why avoid living, then, because you are afraid others might die? As Anatole France said, "until one has loved an animal, part of one's soul remains unawakened."

Haaaaaaaa I JUST saw Louis C.K. (who is hysterical, btw) talking about this.

"Hey, everyone!  A puppy!  Let's countdown to being sad!"

Still, the joy outweighs the pain.  I still miss the Snick-dawg (us sharing a berfday didn't help) and I know the our chickens will even have shorter lifespans than the dog.  But the joy of watching them chase bugs or roll in dirt or sunbathe (yes, chickens sunbathe) is immense.  They have more space and relaxation than 95% of chickens on this entire planet.  It's a good feeling.  Always be ready.  Ready to clean and all that mundane shit but readily know that it is all finite.  Sweetens the victory.

I'm going to stagger pet purchases so that there's always at least one alive. That'll ensure death is not a total emotional loss.
