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?!?

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!

I'm a bed

She comforts me with her purrs and her presence

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.

All tuckered out from being a huge pain in 😂 my ass all day.

Got my new baby Mango today. Still miss my older baby Haley terribly.

My baby girl ran away last night. I'm gutted.

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.

Video of baby Mango saying hi!

Haley is sticking her tongue out at you all!

Haley finally opened her present from Santa!

New photos of my baby Mango!

My new baby Mango with his litter mates, and my Haley baby when she was a baby, hiding under my couch.

Told Haley we were getting a new kitten. She seems OK with the news. I think she will take on a motherly role since he's still going to be a baby when he comes to us.

It's official! I'm getting a new kitten on February 14th next year, as soon as he's old enough to leave his mama! Everyone, say hi to Mango!

Haley, blissfully sleeping while I'm at work on third shift. Oh to be a cat!

I have a terrible migraine and I got sick all over myself and had to clean it up and throw my clothes in the laundry! Luckily my furry little nurse is taking good care of me. She hasn't left my side all day!
