fic exchanges and life (esp. the various ways it sucks)

[kennahijja]

Interesting post with lots of input on how to mod anonymous exchanges here. Which I forced myself to read through twice to try and work up a guilt complex for slacking on the fic of rock-bottom, seventh-hell doom... *Why* do I always feel the need to go to sleep *immediately* as soon as my mind strays into 'actually, you should write now' territory?

Granted, I should sleep more and am not feeling up to much today either after locking myself into the back office and crying for half an hour today over karaontai having to put to sleep a cat which I'd known since it was a teensy kitten 16 or so years ago :(. Damn, Sheila, I'll miss you - you were such a cuddly, uncomplicated furry bundle and I loved you dearly!

Somehow, things suck this month apart from *me* doing fine... There are those months, but it's time this one's over.

Writing-wise at least I have nine hours on a train in front of me next-next weekend, so I'll take laptop and do (hopefully) last minute writing and editing without disruption.
*crosses fingers*

It's just... I knew she was ailing, and very elderly for a cat, but still, I watched her grow up and everything, and even with her being a continent away for almost ten years now it's different knowing they're around somewhere. I must have ten times as much photographs of her and her sister than I have of Kara, and she's my best friend.

It's a bit better now, but yesterday I just went to bits.

Every time I weep for an unknown cat, I hug her.
Me too with Hexe, at least mentally. That said, my parents are going on holiday next week, so Thea is moving over to their place to catsit :). They love each other dearly, so I'm looking forward to daily status reports by email :).
