Had to take one of my cats to the emergency vet clinic yesterday. Two vet hospitals later and she doesn't have cancer. First one sent us to the bigger hospital in tampa that has departments and such just like a human hospital.

They originally thought it was lymphoma since they could feel what turned out to be really large and chemically off kidneys.

Instead it was worse. There are treatments for cancer. She has polycystic kidney disease.

Both kidneys are full of cysts. The vet report I printed out for our primary vet uses the term obliterated by cysts.

Apparently the cysts are small and tiny and present at birth but undetectable and then around age 7 they enlarge and lead to renal failure.

We're going to our vet about follow up care.

But she's dying. I'm losing another one. She's only 7 years old.

She's at home. Technically she's my roommates cat but she's lived with us for three years now and the three of us just say that we have four cats rather than I have 2 cats and my roommate has 2 cats.

She's still young. Still playing and acting normal and yet her kidneys are so big food has trouble staying down and her kidneys are enlarge and failing.

At least she's not in the hospital. The same hospital my Maine Coon died in 2 years ago at age 17. She's home and with us...

And we're going to make every day count.

Waiting... Waiting... Waiting.

It's been nearly 20 minutes. Wtf Starbucks.

I can't cancel online order. Ian left me here to grab our dinner. WTF.

It's loud. At least we now own Mario Party. But where's our drinks?

I'm still stressed by my family. Ensuring therapists stay employed since 1984.

Had a great time with Ian's family who loved the cookies.

Okay after thirty minutes was asked what we were waiting on...

Drinks had gotten made before Ian got there. And stolen. Happy Holidays drink stealer hope you step on a glass ornament at 3 am.

Got 8 dollars in drink cards, though.

And it's dinner time.

We're good Starbucks. I got my frappe.

Now Mario Party time.
dani_meows: (treat yo self)
Today was supposed to be cookie making day but I'd forgotten that we're driving all the way to Sarasota to meet with Ian's Mum, Sister and Grandma for our "christmas dinner." But the cookies are their present...

ExpandFamily Bullshit The Inlaw Edition )

I'm currently waiting for Ian to get back with parchment paper and eggs so I can get started baking.

I've got the dough made for chai eggnog cookies. And butter softening for the rest.

So experimental cookie recipes:
Chai Eggnog cookies
Lemon Sugar Cookies
Peppermint Melt cookies
Ginger Bread

Tried and true recipes:
Oatmeal Raisin
Applesauce Jumbles
Snickerdoodles

Hopefully I can have these all baked by this afternoon.

My Name is Rose Tyler and this is the story of the day I died...
dani_meows: (hobbitverse: I don't like green food)
Today has been an interesting day for me so far.

I woke up after about eight hours of sleep to discover that it was already 6:30 and Ian hadn't yet left for work and he was cooking breakfast. Apparently he stayed up too late last night and was off to a very slow start this morning.

So we ate breakfast together and then he delayed going to work because it's raining and yucky out and he didn't want to leave... He made it to work on time because he always leaves early because Tampa area traffic is a pain the closer it gets to 8:00 am.


Meanwhile, after giving the cats the attention they deserved. If they didn't want to be cuddled they wouldn't sleep on chairs, couches, and easily reachable spots... besides they lean into the kisses and cuddles like spoiled brat cats.

I managed to write out 4 drabbles which I'll be posting through out the day... and now I'm about to work on a list of prompts for daily icons and then finish posting up my table for that...

Apparently, while my day is going great, poor Ian is having a done day at work. He didn't pack a lunch because he thought he had snacks left for the day and both of us are getting sick of ham. But he doesn't.
And there's no projects to distract him at work but so far this year his bosses haven't done the if you don't have any projects that need to go out you can go home thing... So he's sitting there bored and moody.

My dreams were weird last night. I dreamt that I was hanging out with a bunch of my online friends that I've never met in real life and we were exploring Disney together. ^_^ It was a lot of fun. Clearly I need to go to disney again soon.

Title: Have Yourself A Salty Little Christmas
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug
Pairing: Marinette/Chat Noir aka Marichat.
Rating: PG13
Prompt: christmas caroling and warm flannel sheets
Word count: 1,177
Spoilers for Season 3 episode 1: Chameleon
Notes: Like most of my fics of late this fic is a salt fic based of the season 3 episode Chameleon. This one is sort of angsty/fluff with hurt/comfort...

Read on DW here or Here on AO3

Teaser:
“What’s Wrong Princess?” Chat asked her his voice soft in a way he only used when she was Marinette. When she was Ladybug she got a different voice, less gentle, less protective but still caring.

“I wanted to go Christmas caroling with the class but Lila’s lies about me have spread to the whole class and I was uninvited,” Marinette said as she leaned her head on the balcony and tried not to cry.

Adrien’s high road of waiting until Lila got caught in her own lies hadn’t worked yet and Lila’s threats were coming true. The class representative was this close to not only giving up on friends all together but also giving up on her school all together. Her parents were okay with her transferring but part of her still had hope that things would get better soon.

Chat put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently. This part of Chat, the part he showed so rarely, hiding behind flirting, puns, and showing off was the part of him that Marinette could fall in love with.

dani_meows: (disney: ask for directions)
Managed to finish my secret santa gift yesterday afternoon and while checking out the submitting instructions I realized that when my assigned person was switched so was the mediums they'd wanted. It was the first person that wanted graphics or fic... the second person it didn't say what they wanted...

After I'd spent hours working on two pretty cool looking graphics! So I sent them in with the email to let me know if I need to desperately scrawl out a fic instead and apologizing for not noticing sooner!

As I was typing this I got an email back and everything is okay. They contacted my giftee who is okay with receiving graphics instead! I still feel kind of bad but at least I don't have to try and scrawl out a fic with my muse for that show not really feeling like playing in the sandbox.

Today I have to go outside since I haven't been outside in a few days and I don't want to cause myself undue anxiety by avoiding it for too much longer and clean the kitchen. Wee. I also want to work on my Miraculous Ladybug fics so that they get an update this week.

I also want to write out a few more Christmas themed drabbles and ficlets and post all the icons I've been making.

I also just want to curl up in the bathtub with some bubble bath and never leave.
dani_meows: (hp: harry/hermione first year smiles)
I was having a good morning with a decent amount of sleep and lots of creative icon making.

Then I realized the fic I thought was due this weekend is due today! And the super secret prompt my giftee wants is so vague but just specific enough I don't think I can just make a gif set which takes me less time although technically they did kiss in canon it's just not really a happy one. I could always go for the au prompt idea because who doesn't love launching their other favorite characters and universes into a Hogwarts one...

But ack! A wild deadline approaches and the Dani hurt herself in confusion.

Okay step one: Reread prompt.
Step two: Contact mod and through ourselves at their mercy for an extension.
step 3: write
Step 4: Reread and do not toss the whole thing out in frustration.
Step 5: Submit and know that you made someone's day.
dani_meows: (disney: cheshire cat we're all mad here)
I envy normal people.

Who don't have a panic meltdown everytime they need to leave.

Today's supposed to be my first solo bus trip but I'm not ready. Ian and I have done several bus trips together and it's been fine but the idea of getting on the bus by myself is frightening.

Why do I feel so small?
dani_meows: (disney: cheshire cat we're all mad here)
I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted.

Partly because I got sucked back into Tumblr again with it's shiny gifs and a way to babble easily on my phone... but now Tumblr is doing it's whole flagging of random blogs some that don't even post nsfw content and therefore it's time to go back to an older form of fandom.


So Hello Again!

I missed you. I just suck at focusing on more than one social media site at a time. I'm awful.

Since I've last blogged, I've moved again but not to a house. But I do love our current bathroom, the tub is a garden tub.

More importantly I've started therapy and for the first time in years I'm leaving the house on my own. Prior to October it had been 13 years since that happened. I'm still really proud.

Tomorrow will be my first solo bus trip. I tried on Monday since Ian took off to take me to some medical tests but the bus driver drove right past me even though I was waiting at the stop holding my bags and standing.

I've got some medical issues going on with my thyroid and this time last week I was launched into euphoria because it's not cancer!  This week they did another imaging test but with an iodine pill that will hopefully answer questions about what's up with my wonky thyroid/calcium levels etc.

Sadly surgery was taken off the table only to be put back on because the calcium levels in my blood stream are not good. And if my hypothyroid is borked it'll have to come out.

I've also been doing a lot of writing lately for Miraculous Ladybug, a new fandom for me as of October/November. 




dani_meows: (star wars: padme in yellow)
My sinuses hurt like crazy still so I'm still spending a lot of my time sleeping off benedryl because it's hay fever season and all the allergens from up North are flying through the air to Florida. Of course I'm also allergic to dust and pet dander and all sorts of fun stuff.

So I've spent most of my time sleeping, reading fanfic, and listening to music and forcing myself to move so I don't get a blood clot. Despite this it's managed to be an exciting week.

I discovered a new recipe that Ian and I loved, that was very healthy and involved spaghetti squash. I always love when a new healthy recipe is a hit. Ian loved it and normally spaghetti squash recipes get a meh.

Ian's giving lectures to my roommate and childhood best friend (Bri) about circuits and electricity because she really wants to leave retail so their seeing if she has a knack for it, so she could maybe get a job as a designer. It's been fun.

Bri got a second job, cleaning houses for a lady that does rental homes here. She'll make some good money and hopefully stop running out of money well before she gets her next paycheck.

She gave me a scare on Monday or Tuesday. First Ian was tired and grumpy at me and then she arrived home and I left my room and chirped at her.

She finished putting her stuff in the fridge. And made eye contact and her eyes looked all bulgy like she was going to kill me. She stomped to her shower and I went into my room to hide because I thought she was made at me. And I didn't come out until I was certain she was asleep.

Later I recieve texts from her and I come out and it's how I found about her second job, she'd told Ian and thought he'd told me and found out that she'd been pissed at her boss from her retail job and thought she'd said hello.

We had a good laugh and I was reassured that she wasn't mad at me. I am having fun teasing her about though.

Childhood best friends if you can't mock one another gently what is years of friendship for?

She still mocks me about the candle incident after all.

It was my birthday and we were walking down the cake aisle and I held up birthday candles and said I wanted something to blow on my birthday. She cracked up. A stock person stocking said aisle looked at me funny. Ian quit coming towards us with drinking supplies and I was confused and then bright red.

And that was five years ago? Perhaps more...

I'm also fascinated in the fact that Europe is getting a hurricane. I didn't know that could happen.

I hope everyone effected takes the appropriate safety precautions and makes sure to have water, food supplies and candles.

And I think I've babbled enough.

Had planned on going upstairs to type an entry but cleaning earlier made me dizzy, itchy and gave me a sore throat (didn't realize Ian had bought the with bleach variety of comet and I'm allergic to bleach)... So I spent the afternoon snuggling with my Boo cat. At least the stomach aches of Friday and Saturday are gone. I missed out on an outing with Ian and Mum to my favorite restaurant. Ian brought home leftovers though,so I had some on Saturday.

I also must thank the train. That's stopped by our house blocking the road. Since it's staying there a while, Ian has turned his car around and is fetching me the food I'm craving for supper since he's passing it anyway as he circles around.

Living near a train Depot (mostly cargo) is handy sometimes. ^_^
dani_meows: (star wars: padme in yellow)
I finally made it upstairs to my computer and can now properly catch up on comments and such.

My legs are sore still but my back is finally better. At least better enough that I can bend, sit, and move without needing copious amounts of pain killers.

This weekend was pretty quiet I spent much of it curled up with Ian. It was nice.

This week he shouldn't have to work late as much as he did last week which is nice. Last week he didn't get home until 8pm even though he left earlier than normal each day. Which was frustrating. I didn't mind being fed my favorite takeout foods but I missed my husband. I always miss him when he works late.

Today he's having a working lunch in the hopes of not needing to work late tonight. So I've made myself a cute little bento box with panda decorations. It's mostly a protein box with some fruit but I might not end up eating alone since my roommate is having a loud conversation with one of her work friends which means she'll possibly be up and in the living room soon.

I'm sleepy as hell right now because during my two weeks of illness/pain I got into the habit of daylight sleeping so even though I slept last night all I want to do is go to sleep. But I want my more normal schedule back which means trying to stay awake until at least 5pm tonight.

My heart is breaking for Los Vegas though. I don't think I'll ever understand how people can just open fire in a public place and kill a bunch of people.
dani_meows: (dw: JE had a terrible ending)
I was hoping to make it upstairs today but that's not going to happen.

I'm pretty sure my back pain is because I pinched the sciatic nerve again. I'm treating it with hot water bottles and nsaids unless the pain worsens or it doesn't go away in a few days. I am in love with my hot or cold pack more than usual. Normally it has ice for my headaches.

But if I go upstairs, Ian's not up to help me downstairs if it proves to much and there's no bathroom up there. They put a sink for some reason but not a toilet. Which is a shame because a half bath would make more sense than a random sink.

In better news, Ian finished the part of his project that had him working late. My Allegra was found(the front office misplaced it and weren't really trying to find it until Ian called it my medicine, they found it the next day). I got Greek takeout and made a delicious spinach and feta dish, I'll make again today.
dani_meows: (star wars: rey in gryffindor colors)
I'm alive and ready to get things going again.

I've got a back log of stuff that needs tending in fandom land, so much so I might need a to do list.

My diet ended up in fuckitville for a few weeks so I've got to get that back on track.

This weekend wasn't bad. I tried to watch the last season of Doctor Who but the first episode was ungodly boring and I saw no sign of plot before I turned it off after 15 minutes. Then we watched a George Carlin comedy special and then watched Planet Earth.
I'm mostly over the sinus infection and now just have to figure out why my lower back hurts.

But I feel like a human being again.
dani_meows: (star wars: padme in yellow)
I'm nearly hysterical with pain.

I have a sinus infection that's triggered a migraine and neither icepack nor meds have done anything.

And Amazon says they delivered my meds to the leasing office on Friday but the leasing office does not have my package. Ian said they seemed more willing to search when he said it was medicine.

I'm going to try and distract myself with this soulmate verse plot bunny I have where you only know it's your soulmate when you can actually orgasm.

It's weird and odd and I think the HP verse is best to explore it.
dani_meows: (dw: Nine bugger this)
I've been really grumpy this weekend.

Sebastian peed in our closet also so that's four places he peed that's not a litter box in two days.

Since he's not my cat he's been banned from our room and I'm keeping the door shut.

Our cat is the only one allowed in.

And our AC is broken again...

So I've just been going around grumpy all weekend.
dani_meows: (dw: Nine bugger this)
Argh cats.

Especially Basshole. My roommates eldest demonspawn.

He peed on my dirty clothes, he peed on the bathroom rug, and probably (could have been Boo or Mercat) peed underneath the box.

I wonder if the alligators in the pond are hungry? (Joke: I'd never hatm the little bastard... And I normally like him. Might even love him but.... Urgh.... CATS
