Dear Blogging Community, Monkey Lovers, Freaks, Followers, Fellow Catstir Comrades,
Because you can't keep a good monkey down, I am launching a new business venture. I am selling Crazy Cat Lady Starter Kits at a remarkable price of only $24.95 (plus shipping and handling).
Now YOU can be a crazy cat lady too!
Don't make me do the math, you all know how much I despise math, but that is less than $4.15 per kitten. What a deal!
These kittens are guaranteed to have blue eyes for the first 8 weeks of their lives AND... they all have tails. Well, the little one in the back, the one crouched down, his tail is shorter than the rest but please don't hold that against him. He's got a great personality.
Did I make you smile? I hope so. You have each given me so much this past week - Joy, Hope, Love, Compassion and remarkably, not one of you gave me pity - the one thing I don't need (besides catstir).
I could not have gotten out of bed today if it were not for YOU.
YES, it took me a long time to get out of bed (4:20 pm) but I did it. AND, I took a shower and changed out of my PJ's.
True, the clothes I put on look a lot like PJ's but they are NOT. Sweat pants and baggy shirt is one small step above floppy, flannel jammies.
And... I'm sitting by the fire, in the living room, sipping wine, and laughing at myself.
Tomorrow is a big day. Tomorrow is my first trip to Sloan Kettering hospital. Tomorrow I get to hear someone talk about my catstir other than me.
I want to keep you all informed but I don't want to freak you out. Promise me you won't freak out. Stay calm, I'll be fine. I've got all of you by my side.
xoxoMonkeyME

DeleteNothing but positive thoughts Miss Shannon! I'll be with you in spirit and praying for you! You are a special friend and always will be one of my favs!!!!! xoxo Miss Claudia
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'll pass on the kitties. I don't think Beau or Felipe will like them!!!!
I love you miss claudia! xoxo
DeleteNo kitties, but thank you. How's the wine?
ReplyDeletebottle empty... it was good! :)
Deletexoxoxo as always to you, MOnkeypuss.......will be thinking of you and sending positive bunny vibes your way alllllllll day. Just try and stop me. Love, <3 DB
ReplyDeletethanks my sweet, dusty, bunny! my wish for tonight is to sleep zzzzzz and then I wake, shower, dress, take train, subway, go to doctor, listen, take notes, ask questions, digest..... walk away, take subway, train, go home.... where I feel so all alone
DeleteSafe journey and may all go well there. I'm sure it will - no freak out here. And pass on the crazy cats.
ReplyDeleteI don't think "all go well" is an option.. unless they tell me, the pathology report is wrong, I don't have catstir (my husband believe this).
Deletethere is no good news associated with cancer. but thank you for commenting.
This sounds like a fabulous investment! Where do I sign?
ReplyDeleteBen.. I am UPSing them as we speak.. expect a box of disheveled kittays by wed at the latest!
DeleteNo more freaking than usual here, but do the cats come with 6 months of free kitty litter ? Cuz if they do, I am SOLD!!!
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxooxoxox

ohhhhh dear my fellow monkey... i am afraid that I will squeeze you too tight when i see you. xoxo
DeleteWe are with you! all the best for tomorrow.
ReplyDeletethank you Ingrid! so glad to have met you.. you are sincere. I never take that for granted
DeleteI love cats, but that's a few too many. All the best tomorrow.
ReplyDeletewell... maybe if I sent you one at a time. drip kitty on ya! :)
DeleteDefinitely no freaking out here. Just hand holding if you want it.
ReplyDeleteyes... I so want it Sarah! ((((thank you))))))
Deletewell, since I kinda sorta already have a starter kit, I'll just take orange one in the middle ;)
ReplyDeletehe is my favorite! you have good taste in kitty's!
DeleteYou WILL be fine. And I won't freak out.
ReplyDeleteGOOD! I need you to take me on your morning walks. tell me what you see. what you feel. what you wonder......
DeleteI WANT THEM!!!
ReplyDelete:)
Laughing, laughing! I believe you!... I'm putting little "serendipitous" tags on them as we speak (or, I type).
DeleteHeh heh....lucky for you I'm too emotionally wasted and tired to freak out. Bring it on sister....now's the time. I'll be like the cute ambulance men. "Oh...I see you've lost your arm. Let's get some ice on that." DAMN they are calm. Completely unfazed. Unfortunately I am not as cute.
ReplyDeleteI think listening to someone else besides you talk about cancer is going to be a healing event. It takes the catstir outside your body and places it on the table for inspection. The better to see all sides. My prayers are with you.
Thanks for the offer, but two cats is my limit. (I'm not so rigid when it comes to wine...) Good luck tomorrow! I'll be sending positive thoughts and love your way.
ReplyDeleteI am crazy scared of cats. I am going crazy myself over here. I had fallen in love and my love had been rejected. Keep calm Shannon, but I know it is not easy. Get someone to go with you. Bring one of your security guards. What's his name...

ReplyDeleteI love that you've kept your great sense of humor! Stay positive and kick catstirs ass!
ReplyDeleteCrazy about YOU, baby. I am one step ahead of you in the crazy cat lady department. I have the hairs on all my clothing to show it. Thinking about you, sending you strength over the miles.
ReplyDeleteWe are ALL here for you, sweetie!!!

Can I send them back when they are adults?
ReplyDeleteI made a girl laugh last night with one leg. I was trying to talk to her and she kept scowling. She was trying to be appalled and make make me embarrassed, so I talked loud to the guy in front of me about my crutch experiences. I said "Well.. at least I didn't have to shave my armpits when I was on crutches. It was funny to watch her trying to get up off the floor laughing with only one leg. Freak me out, I dare you.
