Hi Bears I am okay just recovering from holiday travel, and then had issue with my allergies.

:D ! Good to see you Hugs
Sounds like you need a break after your break. ^_^"

Before being in my backyard, it was from scrapyard. It just sits there rusting, zo mine want to have some fun with it's engine. For now mine want to focus on gathering tools and equipment to front the undertaking.

Whether this old steel heart can be restored and even running is an issue I'll deal with when the time comes.

Update, he now has a treach in place for o2 support. They are going back in tomorrow because of either air bubbles or fluid bubbles in his belly area that they need to release and go from there. I just really miss my husband. Im doing my best to take care of me the kids are mostly out at his moms Im pretty much coming home from work eatting dinner and watching a show or 7 while working on craft stuff till Im to tired to sit up then lay down for another hour or 2 till i crash. so I am trying.

I wanted to let everyone know I may not be around for a while. I lost my beloved Maine Coon cat Slash last night. He was 11 years old and passed suddenly without warning. I am just devastating and heartbroken.. I will post a photo of him tomorrow.

I'm sure everything will be okay with releasing the air build up today. :) It's good you're taking care of yourself. Maybe when you eat dinner let yourself have a little treat for desert. Or (I can't remember if the craft stuff was for yourself or others, but..) making something that makes you happy for yourself or your husband when he comes home. (I'm sorry for my bad memory sometimes, but..) How old were your kids? Maybe they would like to talk to you more on the phone/ video call and perhaps that could bring some more cheer to the day. Maybe there could be a little craft for them to do at his mom's place and you could do the same and it could be like a group project and you could show each other? Also, I don't know if it's possible (I know my house can't rn..) but maybe a relaxing bubble bath? With some music and candles to let you relax and focus on your care? If no bath, perhaps just let yourself take more time and relax doing what you normally do.
Well, I know that you know this, but we're all thinking of you and your family and praying for you. It's going to be okay. Love you sweets. Bear Hugs <3

:'( I'm so sorry for the loss of your kitty. I know how hard that can be, especially when it's sudden. Sending love and prayers your way. Big Bear Hugs <3

To anyone else reading.. I have found that Apparently the recycle beast only lets you smelt sp Once a day. --" argh...
I'm like a little over a hundred points from getting this item for an avi I was inspired with last night/ this morning. I don't how many of you know what's it's like to hyperfixate on something, but it can be a rush of exhaustion when you come out of it sometimes. I honestly don't know how many hours I was bouncing between making sure my yt music kept playing energetically and creating (read searching through subeta's everything part of the wardrobe..). But when I had a question for one of my sisters and popped my head out, they were actually both asleep and it was close to 3 am. ^^"" I'm done, so 'yaay' but... then it took a bit for my brain to calm enough to sleep... AnYwAy... All that just to say the recycle beast is frustrating sometimes...

Oh, mine understand the dynamics of hyperfixation. The schizophrenia keeps me obsessed with things mine do. Little is based on any real urgency, but tell that to the looped messages in mine head.

An example is mine artwork commission, I've waited for over a year to see mine character and be returned the model it's based on... And I have to wait some more, mine friend who introduced me to the artist has been hit hard with a flu.

It's not all bad, this can also get the job done. Mine working on a car, with a stubborn obstacle. In my desperation, an unlikely solution comes. But not after a good dose of frustration.

Oh the Recycle Beast... I only do it for his smile.

So sorry to hear about Slash.

Worry and loneliness are a tough combination.

I hoard a lot of stuff so I try to make it a point to check the recycle beast daily to dump stuff, but its tough to remember to do it every day without incentive. LOL but its so frustrating when there's something in there you really want and have limit to how many points you can quickly earn.

Now it hit home, I've been informed that my nephew has either tested positive or has COVID.

Bloody hell. Mine need some therapy with Lady Thora, cold be damned.

thanks :D

- oh, so gentle hugs. ❤ I lost my little kitty of 18 years two months ago and still have not fully reconciled with it. I couldn't imagine it coming as a shock (mine had been ill) and I am crying for you. You just must feel such a terrible loss and I just can only say, I feel your pain.

Here are couple photos of Slash. May he forever rest in peace. and thank you for the kind words.

High Ho!!! Oh wait this isn't the back alleys of Chicago lol
