Well... My little Lilith is at the vet now for her surgery. Its only a spay, but still, I'm nervous out of my mind. Its the longest my baby has been away from me in months. And the longest she's been away from her sister since.. well.. she was born. I'll be getting a call form them after she gets out of surgery at 1pm to let me know how she's doing. And if all goes well, I can pick her up between 5 and 7pm. Thats almost 12 hours out of the house.


On another note, May 17th marks the end of my 5th year here on deviantart, and its been a real experience to remember. I've met lots of awesome people, and discovered myself in the years I've been here. It was a crutch through some of the worst times of my life, and I love you guys for it. Thanks for being so cool.

Speaking of the worst of times, May 13th marks the 4th year since my mother passed away from Cancer. This is why smoking is bad for you. She smoked when I was younger, and it killed her. She got cancer in her lungs, and it spread to her brain. It looked like she was doing well, and was finally regaining motor skills after suffering a stroke caused by all the chemo and medication, and then she developed a tumor in a place that was impossible to treat without killing her, so she died at the age of 58. It was agony for me to watch such a strong and vibrant woman waste away like she did. I still beat myself up for distancing myself from her like I did at the end, when she probably needed me most. Its not something I can forgive myself for doing. Please think twice before lighting up that next cigarette.

RIP Gerri Barist --- 26 Jun 1946 to 13 May 2004

You are missed and loved every day, and forever.


I'm going to have to end this journal now because the screen is becoming blurry, and its making it hard to me to type. Thank you all for listening and being here for me all these years.



UPDATE:
My kitty is home, and she's doing just fine. Thanks for all the words of support and comfort. She's still whacked out from the sedatives (Wobbling like a drunk man, falling asleep in her food bowl. ) but she's going to make a full recovery!

Here is a picture of her with her stitches, showing off her sexily shaved belly.



UPDATE2:I just got a call 2 hours ago from my best friend Elly! She's gone into labor, and should be giving birth to no doubt a beautiful baby boy any time now! Everybody mentally send her good vibes. This pregnancy has been rough on her.

I should have baby pictures soon! Her husband has a whole bunch on his cell phone and will be emailing some my way as soon as they figure out how to send from the phone to the emails! It is a 7+ lb baby boy, with dark blue eyes, and brown hair. The delivery went relatively smoothly, apart from some tearing, which can be normal. She thanks you all for the well wishes, and good karma.
