Hi anyone still reading:

Yesterday Nov 30 was my mate's 29th birthday! I tried to make it as special as I could with the limited financial resources we currently have.

He got some wonderful cards and I bought him the book Millenium Falcon , from the new York Times bestsellers list. We made him a steak dinner and Taku's mom made and awesome chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting..mmmmm!

So while not much materially, I wanted everyone to know how much I love you, Cal and always will!!

Happy Birthday!

Hi:

Ok so if you read my mates journal you all ready know last friday was Taku's hatchday! He is such a sweety and there are no words that can express how wonderful it is to have him in our lives!

We had a wonderful ham dinner and then took him to see 2012,it was great! saturday we hung out,went to an auction and then sat nite we hooked up with Blazer and went fursuit bowling!

Sunday we had cake..yes cake for breakfast! Then once Cal got home from work we had some "private" celebrations..murrr..includng giving him his new collar.

Alll in all Taku said he had a blast and got every wish he wanted for his Birthday.

Heyas:

I know its been a while but life sometimes is kinda crazy like that. I dunno if there is still anyone reading this but here goes.

Work.. Well we lost a major league contract, sigh, so it looks like my income is about to be rather drastically cut. I am contemplating the future and the possibility of having to get a second job. we shall wait and see on that front.

My mom, who is 87 and living in an assisted living facility here in Largo due to her dementia, fell last Wednesday. They took her to the hospital and it turns out she fractured her left shoulder, two ribs and her hip. The doctor called me and I authorized the surgery on Thursday. It was an orthoscopic procedure where he put in 4 screws and a small plate across the fracture to help it mend. She is currently in a rehabilitation hospital where her physical theray will begin on Monday. Calafin and I visited her last night and helped get her settled in with a couple plushy teddy bears and a dolphin. They tell me it will be 2 to 3 weeks for her to get ambulatory enough to go back to her own place.

So, not to preach or anything but please..take care of your parents while you have them. I hear furs all the time complaining and bad mouthing..well who raised you? fed you? clothed you ? sent you to school or even college? and perhaps is still doing so? Not to mention all the extras like vacations and maybe even your first car? My mom looks so frail right now, and it has several times brought this big orca close to tears.

Now for something completely different(TM)...

The 27h of October is the second anniversary of mine and calafins wedding! I dunnno what to do for him, but I know he has something in mind for me. We went out for a nice dinner last night and I told him that was my early gift for him. We shall see..we have been together for 10 years now.

Taku and I are staying busy on Fursuits as well and thats lotsa fun!Curently we are making plans to attend FC in January.

Hey if anyone is reading this calafin and I are at megaplex in the north toweer room 737!! Look for us in looby or at fursuit photo shoot !

Hi all:

Just making a quick post in case anyone is still reading..

We have had an interesting year here in Texas, between the furmeets in Arlington, Furry Fiesta and our new friends esp leo and kurisu, we will miss everyone. But my mother is getting older and her Alzheimer is progressing so I must go.

There is a job waiting for me and cal and taku are both transferring and we are bringing a foxy boi with us, it will be good to see our old friends again.

So the adventure resumes , I guess life isn't meant to be long and boring and such, its taking every cent I can muster to get us there, but Lakeland or more specifically Mulberry is a very nice area and this time im staying and taking care of/being with my mom for as long as she has left.

So much so fast it makes my head spin at times!

Ok so as of july20 or so we will be hitting the road..myself, my mate Calafin , our pet dwaggy Taku, hi s mom and possibly our foxboi, heading back home..yes home to Florida. Lakeland to be exact its between Tampa and Orlando, about 45 minutes from the Gulf..i miss teh ocean so much!

Texas id hot , dry and so unfriendly..everyone is so self centered and so right wing as to be almost radical. thetraffic here is nuts in the metroplex, drivers are rude and even amost suicidal it seems! I wont miss it at all.

I will however miss the few friends we didi make, specifically Leo and Kurisu..but they are always welcome to come visit us.

ok time to resume packing!

We went out last night to a local movie tavern to see the new Star Trek flick . We hooked up with several local furs and wow..food, drinks and a kick ass flick! I won't spoil it for anyone that stil reads this but...

GO SEE IT!!!!!!

Well it was a necessary trip and I feel some bit of healing and closure was attained. Calafin and I arrived late Thursday night and crashed hard , long work day and flight will do that. Friday we got up and I got the car, a nice blue Dodge Avenger and we went to Tampa. We went to Regal Palms, the facility taking care of my mom, and found her napping in her room. She was so surprised, though it did take her a few minutes to remember who we were. After hugs and kisses we gave her her Mother'sday gift, a plush tiger and a digital picture frame which we had loaded with pictures of us all from Texas. We then took her outto eat and for a ride to the beach then she was tired so we took her back home.

That evening we hooked up with some phinny friends we wanted to meet,Pyrophin and Micksam7, who just happenned to be down at the same time! We met up at a local mall and had some kickass burgers from Five Guys! You all rock!

Saturday we hung out in Orlando, meeting up with some very close friends and going to a local club there we used to belong to and we were welcomed back with open arms ! We had dinner at the Mongolian Grille , a new experience for me, then went back to the club..(yes that club) and partied till almost 2!

We finally woke up Sunday and drove back down to tampa to see my mom again, have a nice dinner and then we flew back home. I always knew the DFW Metroplex was huge but seeing it at night from the air gives you some better perspectives, nothing but lights and traffic as far as the eye can see!  Taku and his mom were waiting for us , good to see them again!

So there you have it and if I can convey any message or lesson it is simply this:

Sunday  is Mother's Day and no matter what you may think of her (or him maybe?) , you truly never realise what you have so close until it's too late. She does so much over the years we take for granted and time flies by so fast. Soon enough you either lose her , or as in my case, a disease begins to take her from you either physically or mentally.

So give your Mom a big ol hug and kiss...she is worth it and that is the best present you can ever give any mom!
