Memoirs of a Nobody

had one of the world’s shittiest nights. Not only have I been up an un-godly amount of time and am STILL sick…

But I spent the night caring for a dying kitten from about 7pm until she finally passed at 7am. Twelve hours of trying to make her at least comfortable, while hoping she would survive…And she didn’t even get to die peacefully, damnit! She seized at the last moment and ended up thrashing around…that’s not exactly the last image I want of her!

On top of that, mum finally agreed to surrender Kira (the puppy neither of us can control or train) to the animal shelter, so I spent half an hour trying to load a 50lb dog into our new car, while trying not to think that that was the last time I was going to see her (and I don’t even like the dog, damnit!).

I’m just…very drained and numb right now. I can’t even think or feel, let alone grieve for either animal.

I’m trying not to have a “Why me?” pity party in my head, which means trying to distract myself…which ISN’T WORKING! And I have a full disk of photos to edit…half of which contain the now late Mouse.

….can this day be over yet?

Atem and Seth gave birth about a week or so ago, mum’s not happy, but she can’t stop hugging the kittens every chance she gets.

It’s…intresting, helping to birth new kittens, especially with new mothers. Atem almost had her kittens ON me (Luckily the blood and fluids came out of my night dress *face*). She would NOT be alone though, so I spent the night with her as she gave birth to two beautiful kittens. She since moved them under the easy chair so it’s hard to check up on them *pouts*.

Seth gave birth a day later…in the backyard. She came to get me before she even removed the placenta and umbilical cords…luckily I had a spare pair of scissors to help her. She moved the kittens to the attic, but we have since moved them to the linen closet where we can keep a better eye on their health.

I’ll try to get pictures of Rolly and Polly next time they’re out for their checks.
