Boots and Socks, my beloved mother-and-daughter guinea pigs, passed away Friday night. We suspect the heat was to blame.

At least they were together.

i am in berwick. This past week has been just wonderful. Being in my own flat, having people randomly come over, slobbing around nekkid, putting music on whenever i want and as loud as I want, going shopping, DRIVING, walking with my cane, buying stuff, enjoying my own space....it has been unbelievably good. Except for one fuckface guy I went ( Read more... )

I am borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred as batshit. I am moving back to Kew on Saturday THANK GOD and I want to do stuff with people. I want to go NUTSO and go out and talk to people that aren't my family. I can WALLLLLK now and I have to use a cane for a few weeks but I can still go on trams and stuff, and maybe I will be driving soon too ( Read more... )

I have seen 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' so many times I can almost quote it as I watch, but it still gets to me. Even though I know that Gollum turns Frodo against Sam, I still call Gollum names. Even though I know Frodo sends Sam away, I still want to comfort Sam. Even though I know Aragorn tells Eowyn "I cannot give you ( Read more... )

Jesus. I wonder what stopped me this evening? I was staring at them, then it, wanting them in my hand so badly I felt about to combust. I ached for their touch, sweet with a hint of sour. My breath was strong and heavy in my chest, bursting out at the end of an exhale and sharply sucked in again, almost too quick for my head to catch up. My ( Read more... )

Thank FUCK this FUCKing cast comes off after only 8 more sleeps. Jess and Nanna Peg are driving me up the wall. Mum and dad are ok but god, nanna peg....I love her of course, but I suppose having your elderly deaf-ish cancer-ridden grandmother as your only company day after day for 2 months will eventually wear down your positive exterior. And ( Read more... )

I never knew how much I needed freedom, independence and physical activity.  Now that I don't have any, I'm at a loss for everything: words, thoughts, pictures, music.  Day after day I go to my (paper) journal to write, and it's the same every time.

Actually, it's more than that.  I need new stimulation, different scenarios and backdrops and ( Read more... )

I have been watching the footy.  God I love it.  Even with Essendon not  in the finals.  I am quite lucky in that sense.  I know a lot of people who can't follow the finals very closely if their team isn't in it.  I love Essendon - always have, always will - but I can get just as involved in a game like tonight's, and pick a team to go for, and get ( Read more... )

SO I have been keeping everything in.  Not healthy but necessary, as worrying NAnna Peg will make her sick.  Unfortunately I blew up tonight at mum, then sat with it, then apologised to mum, then cried and ranted and cried and ranted until there was nothing left ( Read more... )
