I love my geriatric pussy...


First off, why the shit is it called "Breaking Up" instead of something else?
I get the Breaking part, I really do.
Heartbreak sucks the biggest one ever. 
But the Up... what the fuck is that?

Maybe it refers to "Up yours, buddy!"

Rawwrrrr!

Either way, I have been through the f'n ringer lately. 
Duh, I am newly single and f'n VD passed {like a fart} last week.
 I was a cunty bitch before, during and after that day. 

Change is Inevitable. Make it count.

But in light of the person I am and enjoy being, I am not going to erase the posts which reflect this cuntdom, nor am I going to apologize for it. It is perfectly natural to be a tad off when you split up with a lover. Or in my case, it is perfectly natural to be a tad off when you split up with a lover and the rest of your life is also in flux as well. 


So what, I am off
It only ads to my charm and charisma. 

Auntie Fuzzball originated OFF.


I have been up and down, there and back- all through the stages of the break-up.

Denial, anger, depression, thirst, lunacy, insomnia, anxiety, mania,
 puppetry, incontinence, malaise, etc. 

Today was better since I was busy all day in the studio. I was not just intellectually busy, like I have been, but I was busy with my hands- creatively. I find that when I keep moving in that way, it helps reset my brain's hard-wiring to not obsess about my stupid reeling thoughts and icky emotions.
I actually found myself being present and calm, not even thinking about X. I was more pleasant to be around, more patient with my students (which speaks volumes since I work on Mondays with middle-schoolers) and allowed myself to relax the reins. 

After I came in from a long-ass day of working and playing, I decided to look up some patterns for yarn I recently purchased on this new-to-me website I happened upon last week. 
(Ravelry is fabulous for both knitters and crocheters. If you like that stuff, click the link.) 
I did not find the pattern I had hoped to, but I did find a photo of a cat in a hat. 

No, not Seuss, a real kitty in a hat that's knitty. 

So, I decided that delirium / knitting for your cat is definitely a missing stage in "break ups."

The chapeau culpret.


Within 3 minutes of seeing the hatted cat, I emailed the poster, she directed me to the creator of the pattern, and I am that much closer to becoming "that woman" who knits for her cat.

Kitty here says F-U if you don't "get it"

Fuck it. 
Fletchie is turning fucking 20 on March 3rd, and if she does not deserve a lovely hat, who the fuck does?
20... That's like 126 in human years! 

Sara Anne's kitty. 
(S.A. made the pattern)

The original (above) cat hat pattern is still in cyber-space, but I downloaded another pattern for a lovely cabled beret earlier tonight.
For my cat. 



Cabled Beret by Wild Tomatoes.
Cat not included.



That's my FLETCHIE!!!


YES-
This is the same bitch who barfed on my freshly-laundered bedspread today.
Which reminded me of the VD turd and did not make me angry.


I love my geriatric pussy.

  1. Cat with a hat in the hat would be terribly adorable.

    If I broke up with a boyfriend less than a week ago, you would find me in the bathtub with a carton of cigarettes, listening to the cure, crying into the phone(leaving a message for the ex and all. he stopped answering my calls long ago.), cursing at God. I am the dramatic sort.

  2. I have a boy cat. (Well to be 100% correct I have a mostly/formerly boy cat) And I don't think the aforementioned chapeaus would look good on such a butch creature. And I don't knit. Perhaps a little duct tape headband would be appropriate. Or a tinfoil viking hat to keep out the crazies. Yeah, that will work.

  3. I have a geriatric pussy too. He is 19 and recently went for a check up, the vet said that he is in health a cat half his age would be proud of !
    However if I tried to make him wear a hat I think either he would leave me or I would lose an arm.

    My sister used to knit for her boyfriend and her Jack Russell, but dogs are stupid. One day I got chatting to a little old lady at a bus stop because she also had a Jack (they are my fave dogs), and she told me that she had seen the strangest thing while walking her dog on the common.

    A man walking a Jack Russell and they were wearing matching hats.
    I didn't tell her.

    I hope you're doing ok ? Being newly single can suck, I know, or the means of getting there, but onwards and upwards eh ? And if it does feel that bad then remember the best way to get over one person is to get under a new one :)))

    You have my email if you want to let off some virtual steam xx

      and i like big dogs too.

      side note- the thought of banging out makes me ill right now. which speaks volumes, since i have the libido of a horny 18 year old gay boy.

      and i will email you. i like drunk typing
