It's me. I'm becoming disillusioned with Facebook, so I'm here now. We'll see what we see.

Sorry it's been so long since I posted here. I miss you @danialexis so much. I've been through a lot in the past several months but I'm slowly getting back on my feet. I started grad school in creative writing and poetry and it's kicking my ass but I'm almost done with my first semester. I got a new kitty! His name is Edgar and I love him very much. It's my birthday today and I'm 43! WTF have I been doing for 43 years?!?
It's so cute how Poe picked me. She mowed at me from across the room and she was in her own cage because of the stitches and she came right up to the door of the cage and meowed, so they let her out and handed her to me and she snuggled right up and started purring.
Me and my new baby Poe Raven Patterson. I went to the shelter to meet another cat, but Poe picked me so I had to take her home.
My houseguest for a few days while her mama Courtney Gilbert is in Washington DC! Hi Kyocat! You're so cute! It's nice to have someone meowing around the apartment again!
Little Mango died today in my arms. She got sick all of a sudden and she just didn't have it in her to fight anymore. I'm gutted.
I think my baby Haley sent me this little angel to comfort me after she was gone. Haley waited until the day before I got my new baby, and then I really think she ran off to the woods to die because she was really sick, sicker than anyone knew because it was too painful for me to share with everyone.
Got my new baby Mango today. Still miss my older baby Haley terribly.
It's a trip explaining why you were so naive you trusted someone with your account and passwords to help you edit a manuscript that said person subsequently deleted. I was an idiot. Yes, I realize that now that I've lost three years of blood, sweat, and tears. I'm just feeling overwhelmed and lost now. Can God really give me the strength to write all that again?
This is all I have left of my book, this conceptual cover art and all my notes and drawings from when I was in jail. Everything else was poured out into my manuscript. I should have sent copies to some of my friends and had them keep the copies safe. I was just so damn stubborn and afraid my book was terrible that I didn't want too many people to read it, so I only sent it to a few people. So stupid of me. I trusted the wrong person, and now I have to rebuild everything from scratch.
I trusted someone to be a beta reader and editor for my manuscript,and I just found out yesterday that she deleted all traces of it back in October. She said it was derivative trash and a waste of my time. I can't retrieve the file because it's been more than 30 days. I'm lost. Totally gutted. I don't know what to do.
Just did a 3 mile workout and took a shower and now I feel much better! Still nursing a migraine but I'm OK. I finished reading "Butcher's Hill" by Laura Lippman and it was as amazing as I remembered. Yay for Audiobooks!
