New Year's Kvetch and Snuggles

OK, 2010 is already On Notice. A little over two months and I was hoping I got off easy into menopause with just a week of constant hot flashes. NoooOooo! It decides to goddamned come back today to start off the new year just riiiight--gee thanks. Cramps and all.

But still there's the lovely kitties I get to snuggle with every day. So here's some snuggly spam of my furry brood to start off the new year right--first with Ms. Moo:

"Oops, I stepped in the rainbow!"


Princess Holstein the Winsome is not impressed with your shenanigans. And she knows how to call the ASPCA hotline if her bowl isn't filled ASAP.


Mr. Tuxie Proudfoot is always dressed and ready for a dinner party--just give him a chance to check his calendar.


Tuxie has the longest tail that he can wrap right around his feet, as you can see here. He likes to wrap it around Saki or me when he greets us like a little feather boa. Momma Moo is not impressed with his shenanigans, though, so he doesn't wrap it around her because she makes TV cat screeches if he tries.


This is what I see when I look down from my laptop, snuggling against my leg. I am so owned.


Ms. Saki Took thinks this poinsettia will do nicely for a center piece.

Happy New Year, dammit!

The Campaign To Abolish January would like to take this opportunity to reassure you on the matter of 2010. It's clearly January that is at fault. ::sagacity::

Hot flashes are a cruel trick of Nature to punish us for being relieved to not have periods any more. :-(

Happy kitty new you to you and the crew!

Sounds like a quote from Callisto from XenaWP.

No, it's the period and cramps that came back this time, not the hot flashes. Added fun to driving 3 hours in congested traffic to a funeral on Saturday.

And to you and the irrepressible One Flower! (-:

Thank you. I guess I can hope I'm just paying it forward for the rest of the year, right? :-P

I'm glad you have such adorableness to help you through the hot flashes!! If snuggling them can't make you feel better, nothing can. *big hugs*

No hot flashes this round, just back to periods, with multiday cramps for bonus fun. My snugglers do help. *squooshes*

*splutters* You're going into menopause? But... but judging from that pic that Image (http://lbilover.livejournal.com/profile)lbilover (http://lbilover.livejournal.com/) posted in her journal here (http://lbilover.livejournal.com/486552.html#cutid1) I thought you to be my age, which is 35. I hope you see it as a compliment.

I am so owned Well, as they say: Cats don't have owners, they have staff! ;-) And I really do hope, your cats make it easier for you to bear the symptoms.

Despite it all I wish you a Happy New Year. *hugs*

Thank you! I'm 47. And I guess I'm still in the perimenopausal camp, so we'll see how many years I got to go with it.

At LavenderTook Smial, we consider ourselves an autonomous collective. (-; Those snugglers do help.

Thank you and a hope your new year is wonderful! *squooshes*

I am! It was a sucktastic first week to the year, but I took Friday off from work and had a do-over of the 3 day new year's weekend, and relaxed a little, so that helped. *hugs a bunch, and scritches for Esme and Edward*
