If you're living on borrowed time, do you have to return it?

    Settled in Vegas, with my faithful feline furball Blip sleeping peacefully on my bed (and NOT trying to cover the keyboard...). Been a while since I lived on my own, with little support and less companionship. I'm managing. At least I got WHATDG finished, and planning another trip, on a different ship, down a different river, to a different set of problems. First problem is fitting it in between

    Well, that move didn't work...

    Moving to Texas proved to be a bust, so, next month (2 Dec) I'll be packing my goods and heading to Las Vegas. Well, me and Blip, that is. Looking forward to peace, quiet and privacy. Living with a family that without my roomie's generosity would be living out on the streets is very taxing on my sanity and my wallet. The hope is there that with my new living situation, I will be able to settle

    Back to writing, I... hope...

    Started chapter 18 on Voyager, what's on the LST, where did the ponies go, and stuff like that. Hope I can keep up the pace. First writing since October. Let's see what happens next.

    in new home in Texas now. Blip made the trip successfully and is now either getting acquainted with the other six cats, or is cowering behind the bed. If so, she'll come out.

Life with little joy... · 9:05pm Dec 4th, 2020

December 4, 2020. Four months to the day after waking up from a coma. Why do I feel like not waking up would have been the better option?

Away from home, having no home at all, no income, more medications than a pharmacy would need, it's cold outside, I miss my cat.

Some day, I'll wake up with a smile instead of a curse. Hasn't happened since April 1994, but there is still a little bit of hope for it.

Would say more, but it would only depress me farther. Time for a store run.

There there. We're all here for you buddy. If you wanna talk, we will listen. :heart:

returns the hug, saying nothing, trying not to have a breakdown

People like you are wonderful, Blade Star.

5410290 I can't think of anything really insightful to say, so have some Kipling:

"If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’"

This is The Way, my friend. :eeyup:

I keep on going, even though I know not HOW nor WHY. I'll find out, in time. Would be good to know why I'm going through this version of a living hell.

5410668 When we don't know why, I'm inclined to recall the words of old Churchill; 'If you're going through Hell, keep going'. :eeyup:

While I prefer another phrase of his. KBO.
