Well, my cat is dying so I guess I can skip the ultrasound on his heart. Would be kind of pointless to find out what else is wrong with him.

Noticed he's losing a lot of weight, after some tests vet says it's from the steroids he takes. Apparently, they beef you up initially, but prolonged use causes the opposite effect and eventually he'll become too weak to stand and/or his heart will give out. She said maybe five months left.

If we take him off the steroids, the disease it's treating will eventually kill him in a far less comfortable manner.

Vet wants to try an oral form of steroids, with the hopes it will be less damaging and give him more time. But, there's no guarantee it will be any better, it could even be worse or not work at all. It's also very expensive.

We're all just not sure what to do.

Has anyone ever felt like they just can't catch a break? I swear I must have had a past life where I did something bad.  

[Garek Maxwell]

Sorry to hear about all the bad stuff going on Shoki. One the bright side, eventually things will look up and get better. They always do, so that's something to look forward to at least. sweatdrop

We're moving this weekend. To another apartment in the complex. Nothing's packed. My husband is all the way across the country (in San Fran on business), and I'm vacillating between completely freaking out and being too tired to give a s**t about anything at all. I don't even. XP

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't everything bad happening all at the same time. Something bad happening every once in a while is a lot easier to handle than a huge pile of stuff all at once, you know? Doesn't help that some of the bad stuff seems to happen just to counter the good things in my life.
For example, after a lifetime of hating everything about the way I look and feeling horrible about myself, I've finally started getting comfortable in my own skin. Been dressing nicer, showing off a little more...and then, bam. I'm hit with this horrible, scaly rash thing the doctor thinks might be psoriasis (I see a dermatologist in a few weeks). Now I want to cover up and hide all over again.

Eesh, yeah, I know how that can be a times. sad The bad stuff, not the skin condition.
I assume the skin condition will go away in time? From the quick scan of what it is, it may flare up due to certain conditions. It may be possible to treat the areas having problems to make it less visible maybe. Strange thing is that sunlight can help, so being more revealing would have probably helped more than anything...

I just hope things start working out for you. Maybe the skin issue is just a bad sunburn or something? I dunno. Just hope things start going positive for you. 3nodding  

[shoki_de_nai]

Yeah, I won't know anything about treatment until someone figures out what it is. I know it's not a sunburn or anything like that. I don't want to go into some TMI about it, but it's definitely not a sunburn.

What, no christmas event for Gaia?

Also, turned 30. Seriously. ;_;

And Shoki, I just had to get car work done two weeks ago totaling $600, last week $400, and my brakes failed this week and I'm actually sitting in a library and it's 3:30 and those ******** still haven't called me back, and it may be god knows, another $600. So I'm flat broke from paying over $1000 and I'll spend more than a month's worth of pay on my car that's less than 10 years old.

Because someone had to draw Steven magnet/Discord. cool

God damn... don't tell me you drew porny dragon sex?

Garek Maxwell

I'm a bit confused now but generally taking it slow in revealing information can work too. Well, unless it's a question of whether or not someone needs to know something. If it really does't concern them like your private love life then it's not really their business. sweatdrop

...I guess? I don't know what's going on soooo...

She's sleeping with/seeing someone who's already in a relationship with someone else. Or that's the gist I'm getting.

My old car started doing that this summer so I traded it in for a shiny new one. Was easier to pay off the new car in moderate chunks than to pay for huge repair bills on the old one. I'm broke too though, my paychecks have been bouncing and all my bills are starting to add up. Thinking about taking on a second job to give myself a cushion.

Though I'm not sure why you're telling me specifically of your woes.  

[Psycho Lee]

To say that you're not the only one with crazy a** problems, or feel like you were cursed in a previous life. We all have these crazy a** moments where all s**t goes wrong like a 80's comedy movie.

The brake problem ended up being an easy fix and very inexpensive, thankfully.  

[shoki_de_nai]

Oh, I know I'm not the only one and I know there are people worse off than I. It just pisses me off that every bad thing happens all at once and that it often seems to be countering any good fortune I get.

I ******** quit my fa. :/
My stupid piece of s**t ex-boyfriend is still following me around thinking he's the coolest person ever trying to stir up s**t with me.

I dumped him because I found out he was posing as me on the Internet. Taking credit for my art and accepting requests from people that he never followed through on because, duh he can't draw. He was posting inappropriate pictures of me waaay back from when we first met because he was closetgay as ******** and using them to get attention and d**k pics from guys.

He was trolling lulz.net everyday, being a whiney c**t and making everyone hate him. I flipped my s**t when I found all of this out and posted a thread on there about him with a real picture of him etc... And everyone's reaction was "stop making more s**t up".

So now that I've dumped him he's sending everyone back at my fa and I've gotten an insane shitstorm of bullshit and people reporting me for ban evading, which the funny thin is they're reporting me for evading a ban on an account that has never been banned, as opposed to my actually banned account. They just think because I moved accounts the old one must have been banned. :/

Anyone I just left. I'm a very busy person right now and haven't been using my fa anyway, so it's just not worth all of the trouble to fight for it. I'm sure he's terribly pleased with himself but whatever. I have better things to do than try proving myself to a bunch of furries.

Thanks for spelling it out, I didn't catch on at all. sweatdrop
Also, yay for forgetting to reply to this many days ago... sad

Ugh, that...sounds horrible. Hope it all blows over eventually.
I don't think it would have helped any, but leaving a goodbye journal explaining the entire situation would have been my choice of action personally. Gathering evidence and all to support my claims and then leaving it at that. It wouldn't please anyone, but at least the facts would be out there.

Actually, if the guy is that bad, he'll slip up eventually and catch it for sure. Maybe not by a mob, but at least by someone. Frankly, I couldn't be with someone who'd act like that. It's one thing to be in the closet (which is unfortunately a symptom of our culture), but it's another screw things up for someone do what he did. I mean, that's just outright cruelty and money grabbing.

Warning sign number one, if you ask me. xp

Hmm, christmas event is an item/gold sink. Totally not like last year's christmas furnace, RIGHT?!?!

... I think I liked the wolf halloween event better. At least we got an awesome item.

Heard a Cradle of Filth song last night, found it today online after only listening to two songs. This has to be my favorite song by them now, it's so fast and such elaborate guitar work....  

[Psycho Lee]

Hmm... wonder what Gaia thinks of SOPA/PROTECT IP, eh?

Between SOPA and the NDAA, I swear the US is becoming more facist every day. And all to "protect the people".
