Hi Sweetie, Thank you so much for writing. I'm so so sorry it took me this long to write back. I've been very sad and overwhelmed taking care of everything. God, I am so sorry you lost your Dad. I went through that about ten years or more ago, I think. I loved my Dad and would cry often, still do, but with Daddy we had more warning, he had a long, long slide downwards with his own unique version of Alzheimers and other issues. But there is nothing like this. Or, well, I have never experienced a kind of grief like this. You are so kind to write.
*hugs* I've missed you too--seemed like every time I looked at my cats, I wondered how the other cat lady's life was going. It's really good to see you back. ♥
Oh God you are so funny. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Can you imagine how many other cat ladies there might be here on Live Journal. I got a funny shirt the other day, something about the twelve signs that you are turning into a crazy cat lady. I think I fit about every one of them. One of the ones that made me laugh the most, (and you may not have this one in common with me but it had me in paranoid stitches), was this one; Is there always a different cat in your window whenever anyone walks by? Something like that. I can't remember exactly. I'm still so sad, and tired. Thanks for wondering about me and taking the time to post. I've had so little time to write or do anything, we went straight from her passing thru the funeral to this horrible nightmare of being abandoned by our first attorney, foisted onto someone who simply wasn't qualified in any way to care for us, neither of whom my Mother wanted me to have to deal with, it cost us a fortune and we had to fight so very hard, then we moved straight into panicky "

Hi Honey, Sorry it's been so long. I just haven't been able to face much more than the immediate nightmare of having our life unravel. And I'm sure the market tanking hasn't made it any easier ... You couldn't have expressed it better. Mom's kind and generous life-long plan for our future was for me to rent her home in order to have a good income to live off of, she wanted there to be a wonderful, kind, fair, understanding, trustee to help me take care of all of the hardest of things, but when she realized how much the taxes were going to be and that we would have to sell the house she decided I wouldn't be able to afford one. Thank God she made me create paperwork documenting this. I never thought I would have to use it. I just thought we were all friends and would just work it out and my lawyer/friend would work with me, taking my wants and needs into consideration, and charge a fair fee for his time and effort. I felt safe for about a month, until I realized that I was doing all of the work, and then he quit and handed us over to a

Awwwww thank you so much Sweetheart. I looooove your picture. You both look so loveable and huggable. Wish I could. I'll just have to immagine it. Thanks for hanging in here with me. I am just floored that it's been six months since I posted this. I have been so seriously stressed, depressed and overwhelmed. I finally upped my antidepressants and this has helped some, at least with the daily crying, but I seriously hate having to mess with my brain chemistry. It frightens me, but it works. The drag, and it's a big one, is weight gain, and a decrease in libido. Not good.
I wonder how you are. How life is treating you. I hope you're doing well. I've missed you too. You're so kind to remember me and hang in here with us through all of this. I think this has been my biggest case of blogger's block ever. However, just writing back to you here, and to a few of my other friends, is telling me that I can face this. I can write about it without falling apart. I'm stronger than I knew.
Happy Birthday! I've been cutting back on LJ too, for personal reasons. But I don't anticipate that being forever. 2008 was a bad year. We'll all make it out of this mess, one way or the other.
I can't believe the gray whale "Diego" is still in San Diego Bay. That place is so polluted. I used to catch fish out of there, when I was a kid. Now, they have signs up warning to not eat the fish.
A few years ago, I had the silly idea that gray whales would be spawning here, if there wasn't so much boat traffic.
No offense taken. I've always pushed boundaries. If nothing else, to find out what the invisible boundaries are. I tend to do it a lot more online than in real life. If I offend someone, I generally apologize. If they can't accept an apology, that's their problem. Life is way too short to worry about crap like that. I try not to worry about it too much. I really don't need people around me that are vindictive and carry grudges. I'm pretty much happy go lucky. I don't have time for people that are terminally miserable, because misery literally does love company, and will do anything to make everyone around them miserable. I know this because I was married to someone who was miserable and pessimistic. The old cliché of "fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" applies. I'm much happier without that kind of drama. I prefer my drama on the silver screen
