There isn’t one “best” way to #FoodBankChallenge. “Only give cash!” is de rigueur (& good!) but if you don’t have cash there’s still ways to contribute. Volunteer time or transportation. Fundraise. CALL your local places and ask directly: what do you need?

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

A cat is seen riding a bus. They are standing up and have their front paws on the back of the front seat.

I'd always planned to get a memorial tattoo for her, and still want to someday, but how do you distill her soul into a single image? One day I'll get it, but for now it feels impossible to even try.

Has anyone used an artist or company they recommend that makes memorial jewelry with ashes? I'm still not sure how I want to commemorate her, but I know I want something I can keep on or very near my person. A necklace or a ring, maybe.

No availability later. Monday at 9am it is.

The only thing keeping me from dissociating throughout all of this has been needing to be here+ present for her like she's been for me every day for over a decade. Still feels unreal.

Edward Scissorhans Gruber @yellingbob.bsky.social · 1d

Monday at *9am* is the only availability this vet has. I can't imagine just....going about my day, afterwards.

Vet can't do Tuesday, but I asked about Wednesday afternoon, waiting for a response. Idk if I'm being selfish, hurting Bart more by pushing it back but god. First thing Monday feels awful.

Maybe I'll fly back to Chicago and stay with my brother. Meet my twin niblings. They've got two big retrievers. Maybe I can just hide in their guest room with the dogs and cry for a week there.

Likely to be Monday.

Every single one of you has shared in the joy this little peanut has brought me for the last 10+ years together. That alone is an unbelievable blessing, and I'm so grateful and thankful for you all *no matter how* we end up saying goodbye to her. Gentle soft nose nudges from Bart, and all my love.

I don't even asmr and I've had the same thought about him doing that! He has that perfect combination of steady and lilting tone, to my ears, and you're right, lovely is 100% the word for it.

To be clear the baseball bat is only for the idea of someone offering support in person; everyone here and via texts and other socmed and god all the gfm support has been an absolute gift and comfort and ilu all so very much and would never hit you with a baseball bat no matter what

Probably something to work on in therapy

OR just keep collecting dogs that serve as my emotional touchstone in life so I never have to have a human being witness me having gross feelings \0/

Edward Scissorhans Gruber @yellingbob.bsky.social · 2d

On the one hand, dealing with this by myself is unexpectedly much more brutal than I would've thought.

On the other hand, if someone did try to offer their physical presence here right now amidst all my emotional vulnerability, I would probably try to hit them with a baseball bat.

So uh. 😅

Genuinely not trying to turn this account into pet loss liveblog, I'm so sorry, I'm just doing all of this solo and it helps to tell a stupid text box.

It's messing with me a ton that she's back to some amount of normal after all of this. I know she was 'normal' up until she wasn't before Monday, too, and it doesn't mean she's actually okay, but god its a mindfuck to just have her sleepywarm on me just like any other day.

Edward Scissorhans Gruber @yellingbob.bsky.social · 2d

That's the plan, hopefully to have a better overall picture by Monday. God it's scary in the meantime, though.

I've emailed a few mobile vet places already for pricing etc info, but some of them offer QoL consults, too, which I may take advantage of. I know you can never be sure, but...still.

She seemed to be doing so well yesterday and today still. Then 5pm tonight she collapsed again. Hasnt had water since early morning. Won't eat unless hand-fed. Confused, shaky, still unable to walk/move at 9pm still. Just like Monday.

How do you map QoL when it's like this.

one of my cats peed on the ofmd blanket I bought from hbo, and I really wanted to replace it but I didn't want to give them money, so! I made my own file to get it printed on my own.

photo of a blanket on a bed. it's black with two mermaid skeletons - one holding a spear, one holding a heart - and their hands entwined in a way to spell out 'Ed'

(My initial PFML was going to end on Saturday 10/18. I'm so fucking glad I extended it. I can't imagine having to focus on anything else besides spending time with her and making sure she's more than comfortable in every way I can. It feels weirdly selfish if I let my brain win? so NOPE NAPTIME BYE)

I have consequently Unearthed her from deep in the blanket tunnels and I should be doing more veterinary hospice and EoL research but she's so soft and just enough heavy and we're both cozy and I'm just gonna let the nap take over now
