I had to usher one of my fur-babies off with Bast yesterday... Khaibit's health hadn't been good for several weeks, but we couldn't tell if it was something treatable or not. He would seem to get better, and then slip back. Well, the last couple days made it clear that this was a downward slide, and we made the decision to let him go peacefully.

I don't think I can express how much this cat meant to me. He's been my furry little toddler, my little brat, for 16 years now. At 16-17 years old, we knew he would likely be going soon, but it's always too soon.

Between this and getting really for Christmas, it's been pretty stressful around here, and I've let a lot of things slide. Now I'm stuck in a bit of a "now what?" place now that two major things have been lifted... there's still so much to do, and right now part of me really, really wants to say "fuck Christmas" because it's nothing but a bunch of stress.

I dunno. Maybe things'll get better after New Year's.

Awww :( Both you and I lost our precious pets at the worst time of year. :( I'm really really sorry, and sadly I can't even say 'it gets better' because it still hurts so so so much to think about my cat.

I hope that you however, are doing okay besides that

And you had to deal with it on top of school, which is enough stress on its own :(

Yeah, I dunno, I think I'd be lying if I said I was perfectly okay, otherwise, but it would probably be mostly the usual ups and downs without this.

I feel your pain. My dad died two weeks ago and there is a definite pall over everything. Christmas is going to be a very much abbreviated affair at my house. :/

I'm so sorry to hear that :(. Your family must be having a really hard time. (Why do things like this happen in December?)

Your family must be having a really hard time. Well, Mom's taking it much harder than I am as I was never all that close to my Dad. I was the one who put up our little Christmas tree and the few decorations we have as Mom just wasn't feeling Christmas this year. :(

Why do things like this happen in December? A death is never easy no matter when it happens but I think you feel a death in December more intensely because everybody around you is all happy and cheerful and excited and whatever and they expect you to feel the same way when it's just not that easy or, for some, even possible. :/

Oh noooooo, I'm so sorry. ;___; Like this season isn't tough enough. *hugs* ♥

[dragonimp]

Thank you ♥. It's not like there's ever a good time for things like this, but December seems like a particularly bad time, yeah -_-

Aw, what a horrible thing to happen at the worst time of the year :( *hugs*

[dragonimp]

Yeah ... :*(. I'm glad my furbaby's not struggling any more and all, but ... yeah. Particularly bad time.

sounds like your holiday lead-up was going about as well as mine.
