blargh.
Prepare yourselves.
I'm angry.
I'm sad.
I feel guilty about both of the above.
I'm not sure where the guilt is coming from - story of my life.
This post may be a doozy.
I haven't blogged in a week. Yesterday was a week since Sessie had to be put down. I have been moping through, trying to be 'normal' ever since.
I even went on a mini-camping trip this weekend, which turned into more of a booze fest/stay up all night like teenagers trip. Not exactly what the doctor ordered for me. Not saying it wasn't fun, but now I gotta add recovering from a party weekend to the list of other stuff going on in my mixed up head.
I miss Sess terribly every day. Every time something in my life went wrong she was such a strong support to me. She was always there through my workdays which more often than not are incredibly frustrating, boring & upsetting. I miss her little voice. She'd so often wake up from a cat nap and say "prrrow?" really softly from her spot on the armrest of the couch right beside where I do most of my work. I really miss that. It reminded me to breath sometimes when things are work are just too overwhelming. And I miss having her as a reminder of my life before D. I feel like I've all but lost the woman I was before. She was the last concrete link.
I have been withdrawing (other than on Saturday night when I was quite outgoing in my smirnoff ice induced mood). My tweeties may or may not have noticed that I'm kinda quiet. (For a change...) I don't know what to say! Everything that comes out of my mouth feels like a complaint, and since I know so many people on Twitter who are going through such hard times I would rather be a supporter than a complainer.
But I don't really know how at the moment. Nothing feels good. Everything feels faked, forced, frusterating. And my fuse is extremely short. EXTREMELY. Like.. maybe non-existent. Don't light a match around me. I'll blow.
Today when D got back from work we were short with each other. And now he's gone out for the evening leaving me to stew. This is a very bad bad thing. I don't stew well.
I've been trying to throw myself into work but it's frustrating knowing that I have no financial control or freedom, despite my immense responsibility to this company. I am resentful. This makes me not want to work, but the thought of having free time to think is terrifying me.
All in all - I'm pretty toxic at the moment.
And in an effort to not toxify you, my dear readers, I will say goodbye now and hope that the next time I write I'll be a little (or a lot!! Fingers crossed!) aggravated.

Saddest Wordless Wednesday of my life.
I miss her so much.
I don't know how I will cope.
She was my best friend & constant companion.
She was there for me through times when everyone else walked away from me.
She stayed by my side all the time as I worked.
She greeted me every time I came home, or in the morning when I woke up.
I don't have many human friends in real life, this feels like I lost my best friend.
I can't believe how much this hurts.
I will always hold you in my heart.
You were the best cat I ever could've asked for, and you're the reason I like cats
(used to be a dog only gal, then I got Sess and she melted my heart...
and helped me get rid of my allergy to cats!)
I love you my Sessie girl.

RIP Phlangey the Chameleon :(
So this morning we got up out of bed to find that our chameleon, Phlangey, is no longer with us. I have never owned a lizard before being with my guy, but I actually got kind of attached to the little guy. We bought him 3 years ago from a pet shop that, to be honest, really shouldn't be a pet shop.We got a lot of our "rescue" lizards from there.
Phlangey was a fastinating guy. He loved his bugs (I think he masterminded a plot to have crickets breeding endlessly in his habitat - I know we sure didn't do that on purpose!!!) and he loved to hiss and bite people :p Not the friendliest of lizards, but he was stunning to look at as he changed colours to suit his environment.
We aren't certain why Phlangey didn't live as long as we'd hoped. We'd estimate he was about 3 1/2-4 years old and they should live 5-8 years. Not sure if that's in captivity or just in general.
My only hope (and only worry) is that the Topper the Cat didn't have something to do with it. Stress wise only - he never got into the habitat at him physically. But Topper would frequently watch Phlangey - and in fact, I think Phlangey may have taught Topper to hiss! We tried our best to keep him away from the habitat, but when Mommy's away, cat's like to play....
Anyways, we are sad today at the loss of one of our beloved little zoo.
RIP Phlangey!
pls. excuse DH's mountain man appearance in this photo! Sometimes I just can't get him to shave it off :p
