Daily thoughts - Hello 2024

 I can’t believe it’s been this long since I had the chance to even look at my old blog and have this desire to share stories again. A lot has happened over the past couple of years and it’s always the irony of wanting so much to share but not having the time to share it. I’d like it to be a daily thing but let’s see how this one goes before I lose steam again and come back after 3 years lol. There’s a lot of catching up to do. Although I want to highlight the many important things that has transpired over the period I was away, I feel doing so would seem like too much work and affect my enthusiasm to blog again. I should just start from scratch and if necessary only mention relevant past events if it relates to my current post or if it’s worth mentioning at all. I really would like to  make this a spontaneous experience as much as possible just like when I started :) 

Daily thoughts - 2 years went by so quickly

Wow its been two years since i wrote anything here. Not that i ran out of things to say really but i just lost the enthusiasm to share random stuff. The world kinda went to shit after that pandemic. We stayed indoors for the most part and there were positive things though that came out from that situation. For one i realized how much I could’ve saved if I had just bought my own treadmill and stationary bike. Those are the only equipment I usually use at the gym. The weights and other gym stuff are usually hogged by patrons . So this works out.  Now that we have our own machine it doesn’t matter if the weather sucks, there is no excuse to miss a workout. Best part I can watch my favourite shows any time of the day and still exercise. Anyway I’m kinda looking forward to posting more stories soon. Two year went by so quickly . I miss thumper and since she passed we adopted a few more . Will be posting photos of them soon and sharing their stories :)

Daily thoughts-Thumpytoots

I wrote this entry on July and never got back to it. cant believe how quickly that week went by that I thought I’d have time to write more about Thumper's progress. She was lethargic the past couple of days and one evening she was trying to get our attention and we noticed something leaking from behind her. My heart stopped and I thought it was something serious and could hasten her already deteriorating condition. We brought her to the vet the next day and it turned out she has an anal gland rupture. I was actually shocked . I’ve had cats for many years and I’ve never heard of this. The good news is she didn’t need surgery. It will just require for a daily antibiotics and cleaning the wound with antibacterial wipes. She was a good sport and such a behaved patient. The vet and the staff always say she is a very behaved cat.

In just a few weeks though things took a turn for the worse. The cancer has spread very quickly and it was so bad that when we brought her to the vet again, she only had probably a day to live before she would suffocate because her lungs were full of tumors. It is was a horrible day for us and we had to make a drastic decision.

We lost Thumper on August 3 2019 and a part of me died that day. She was a special part of our lives that I am not the same person without her. I cannot even talk about her without breaking down. I cannot look at our selfies together without feeling crippled with that gnawing pain. She died on a Saturday and I had to go back to work the workday after that weekend. looking back i cannot even remember how i managed to get through that day.  Just the same, Im partly relieved knowing she is no longer suffering. She gave us more than 10 good years and for that I am grateful. Some people may not even have had that rare kind of happiness and I had a decade of it.

When Im ready I would like to talk about her more but today I just want to tell the world how blessed I was to have had that chance to share our life with this wonderful angel. I love you so much Thumper! We miss you baby girl and one day we will see you again. Please wait for me by the rainbow bridge.  Sleep peacefully my baby girl.
