    Imagine that you are on a lakefront property on the covered porch overlooking the water with your favorite tea as it rains. You're there with your favorite person. The thunder echoes here and there.
    Suddenly, the lake swells and mf godzilla pops out screeching and tearing the world around you apart and you just sit there enjoying your tea. You snooze a little bit in your chair.
    You're awoken to find that you are swiftly flying through the air in the direction of the water. Luckily you didn't belly flop. As you are torpedoing deep into the lake you take this time to reflect. All is quiet and dark as the water pressure hugs you like your parents never did. 'Maybe I'll pick up a new hobby ' you think. Propulsion has stopped and you gently float up to the surface.
    You just kinda float there as rain droplets hit your skin like little fists. Everything is on fire 🔥 except for the lake. There's an odd sensation on your back and next thing you know you're being swallowed up by another massive monster of the lake.
    'Life is an adventure' you think as you water slide into the stomach. It smells in here, regrettably. You see your favorite person has happened to make it in here with you! It's only the top half but that's your favorite half anyway. You catch up just like old times for hours or days, you can't really tell but you don't care because you're having a good time.
    The air pressure is getting the kind of annoying and next thing you know you're expelled from the belly of the beast and promptly covered by a little bit of sand. Turns out that the beast isn't very good at covering it's doo doo. 💩
    A thick charred smell fills your lungs which is a welcomed odor considering recent events. You start walking through the incinerated forest and in a few hours time you find civilization again.
    People gawk at you and some are screaming at piles of rubble. 'Do I need a haircut?' You ponder.
    You just wander into a random house as one of the walls are missing and it appears no one is home. You check the microwave and Yay! Tea! You sit on the couch and sip your tea, content. 🥰☕️

    english breakfast?

    It's a pick your own tea flavor kind of story

    One of my three cats passed away this morning after appearing to get better. None of us were able to see her off over the rainbow bridge and I am heartbroken. I will never see her, never pet her and never get to hold her again.

    I hate this year and I'm really beyond caring about anything, including obligations I have to other people/groups.

    I'm so sorry for your loss 😔

    I'm so sorry. Sending you a virtual hug.

    :heart: It sucks, but I know she's better off this way. She had chronic kidney disease and I guess her kidneys couldn't sustain her anymore. I did get one extra month with her from when she crashed before July 4th, so I am thankful for that month. And.. she passed away peacefully sleeping. She wasn't euthanized. Just ate, stared around at the people in the vet clinic and took a permanent nap.

    I could not ask for a better way for her to go, even if none of my family were present. :heart:

    Kosmos, I'm so sorry. :( Words don't help much but just know many of us here are thinking of you.

    My little Daisy Ray colored all over her forearms with markers trying to copy my tattoos 🤦🏽‍♂️...

    I don't know whether or not this is more adorable or troublesome 😂🙈

    Creativity and imagination at its finest. Feel lucky you don't have tattoos on your face. :)

    I’m pretty sure Skip Bayless doesn’t believe half the crap he says - but his takes get him ratings so guess he’s doing his job - I see him as a heel in wrestling- 🤷‍♂️ - I know no one will know wth I’m talking about but it’s what is currently on my mind

    Sometimes, melatonin doesn't even work for me. I still have insomnia. Does it work 100% of the time when you take it?

    I guess the silver lining is that all of the kids who never have a place to sit during lunch or are bullied, will not have to put up with the other kids whose parents raise them to be little brats...

    I haven't listened to bayless (or had anything to do with sports, really) for at least a few years, but I know what you mean. I also grew up on rasslin and know what heel is. He's just gettin his pop.

    I HEAR YOU BRO 😁

    The gf is trying to get me hired on at her job but she's hurt herself pretty badly four times in the last week or two and I have to wonder. Do I want to work there? Supposedly they were all freak accidents. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤕

    Here in Arizona, we have drowning awareness month.

    Which is pretty stupid.


    I mean, If you're drowning somebody, you're probably quite aware of it.

    I love your style of humor 😆

    Bayless is a tool. I can't stand to watch him. He's the part that gets them ratings because of that nonsense.

    Still sad: Got the remains back from the vet today. The urn is lovely and the crematory sent a baggie with a clipping of her fur, which makes me super emotional just typing about it. They included lovely memorial papers, a certificate of cremation with her tag number, etc. Things to be stored away in a book somewhere, I suppose. At least she's back with us where she belongs.

    My two remaining cats have been in a revolving door of hogging my lap. One leaves, the other jumps up and won't allow me to leave. They finally let me have a break when I had to go pee, lol. I don't know for sure, but I suspect they are grieving in their own way. Or maybe I'm just attributing too many human characteristics to my cats.. but I swear they knew she had gone before I did. They acted different from the moment I woke up yesterday, before I got the call..

    Sometimes.. I think I see her gray little shadow in passing in our home, but I know it's not her and it hurts. I imagine it will be like that for some time. I'm mostly trying to get by, but it is, of course, hard.

    best thing about time is how it passes.
    one minute to the next. day to day.
    each one different.
    maybe tomorrow will be a better day i hope.

    I hope it will be. I just hate how grief strikes me down every time. I'm not a stranger to death, human or animal, unfortunately. But man, it just gets me every time. Always fresh, always different.

    I hate that even though he's not showing it, this is affecting my son. He's been coming into our room every night this week (before she passed), with nightmares that depicted her death/passing. He asked me to tonight if he could hug her urn and I nearly lost it. We're all of us grieving, I think I'm just the most visual out of the group.

    I know we'll get past this, but I do worry about Galaxy's littermate. They were secret cuddle buddies up until she got ill. I just worry that he won't be able to endure her passing and will go to be with her within the year. The vet says he's fine (as far as his annual exam went), but it's a concern... like a life long romance separated by death. You always hear stories of the partner passing within a year of their loved one, dying of a broken heart. Will he be like that? Unable to live without his sister and just languish away? I hope not.

    But you're right: I know it will get better in time. I'll always miss her though. :heart:
