Barely. I've been "meh" for the past 2 years. Lost a few jobs and suffered literal loss. My girlfriend Julie passed away last year and a few months later my cat Jellybean died.

I was in the hospital last August for diabetic reasons and a few infections and almost died myself. After that life got worse. Kinda wish I DID perish. I'm here for some dumb reason or another. Not sure why. Things aren't getting better AT ALL. can't even find a job. No data entry jobs due to AI and I gave up my graphic design career option since AI is taking over THAT, too. So...I'm just existing. For my 2 cats and husband Walter. we're doing..."meh"

recovered from Covid on July 31st. Went back to work almost 2 weeks after. I got organ damage, i can tell. lungs and heart don't feel the same. sometimes my heart has random palpitations. siiiiiigh :(

yah, i know, i'm just as shocked as your are that i survived. ever since i did, things have been going south for me. kinda wish i didn't survive but the only reason i live is for my cats, my husband and best friend. otherwise, my life is meaningless. but hey, i guess i'm here for a reason

and the new LJ post editor is stupid. wtf?!

anyway, i'm doing ok. ok as i can be

I guess karma finally caught up to me. I got covid. 50/50 chance since I got underlying conditions. We'll see what happens.

If I pull through, I'll keep my big mouth shut more often.

I love you all. and for the haters? well you got what you wanted.

I'm getting married on March 31st :D

our first wedding date was supposed to be 11/4/17, but his job screwed him over so he made less $, so it was a no go. and then the 2nd date was 3/17/18 but my nieces went out of town so it was also a no go. so NOW our FINAL date is 10 days!

wish us luck!

Hey guys! It's been a LONG ass time since I've posted. A LOT has happened since Zoe died. On New Year's Eve, I moved in with my bf Walter and we also adopted another kitten. I named him Beauregard. He's soooooo flippen CUTE!! ♥ Although the pain from Zoe's death still lingers, Beau has mended my heart A LOT. and me and Walter also got engaged 2 weeks ago!! We'll be married November 4th of this year ♥

Here's a pic of our "son". (I think there's something up with his eyes. His pupils have a slight red glow..even when not taking pictures. he also has a recurring upper respiratory infection)


Anyway, I'd like to an awesome graphics community run by the talented [livejournal.com profile] arrow. Please join and tell her i sent you


click to join, watch it and then comment HERE letting her know who sent you!


Thanks! :D

My sweet angel Zoe passed away 2 hours ago. she had mammary cancer. I blogged about a month ago..you know, that gofundme page only a few cared about.

but anyway....


Zoe Melms ♥ 02/14/03 - 04/21/16



An angel with fur got her wings back ♥


She wasn't alone when it happened. Me and Walter were with her. It broke my heart to see her suffer like that. But now her pain is gone and she's free from suffering. She's a kitten again. Hopefully keeping my grandpa, grandma and mom company. Hopefully she's getting along with Boo, another cat from my past who had died, whom was a little bitchy at times.

I don't know how I'm going to live without her. She's been a HUGE part of my life for 11 years. I wanted her to live with me and Walter when we would finally move in together. I wanted her at our wedding when it would finally happen. Now it can't.

If I didn't have Walter, I would probably hurt myself now. But he is the only reason I have left to live. Otherwise, I'd have no reason to live. My life would be nothing.

Update on my sweet angel face:

my baby will cross the Rainbow Bridge soon. my worst fear was confirmed by the radiologist: cancer. we need donations for euthanasia and cremation. I can't stand to see her suffer anymore. so PLEASE help, if you can. also share this link with your facebook friends. thanks!

---- PLEASE DONATE!! ----
