I began the month by undertaking the responsibility of looking after a stray cat who had recently littered and given birth to four adorably small little kittens. One of whom was so tiny they hadn't even opened their eyes fully as of yet.
Four, became three.
Three, became two.
Two, became one.
I've lost my last one.
I never found the bodies of the first two, the third was run over near my doorstep and the fourth was rather obviously poisoned from what I'd been able to see of her after she died in our parking lot. I've buried both the little ones that I found in two empty pots I had in my back-yard, I managed to find identical ornaments of sentimental importance to use as grave-stones but I'm really not in a cohesive mind-set whatsoever right now.
I'm honestly hoping nobody I have obligations to thinks ill of me, because I won't be able to participate in anything right now. I do sincerely and truly apologize to anyone who might have been counting on me to progress role-play between us, it's just that I simply can't do much of anything outside existing right now.
This is an indefinite notice. I'm not sure when I'll be at 100% again.
Immediately after I read your post I walked over to my cat and started to cuddle her. I'm sorry for what you had to go through mate. Take the time you need.
