I’ve not posted in a while. Got a ton of cat posts to share but will share these from today first. Bertie always sits waiting for me when I’m in the bathroom. He comes in but is terrier of the sink and any flushing noises so keeps his distance. He’s a very delicate boy but a distinguished one. Bertie Bassett Esq. by @originalkitten

Introducing Bert or Bertie or Mister B to you all. It’s been a long empty 18months since Daisy and Sadie passed away and this lil fella fell into my lap. He’s hilarious he’s so funny but he’s exhausting at the same time. But he’s full of love and miaows in his sleep for cuddles. Will be starting his own page because he brings me so much joy I’m hoping he will do the same for others who have a lonely life like my own 💓 #cats, #catsifinstagram#catsofinstagram #cats_of_instagram #cat #cats_of_world #catloversworld #kittenoftheday #kitten #kittenofinstagram #kittenlovers #taylorswift #taylorswiftcats A grey and white tabby kitten innocently looking out of a tiny cardboard box with the caption warning do not trust the cuteness.

Last year I turned 50 but had other financial commitments so didn’t celebrate; this year I’ve decided it’s time for a change and am celebrating in my own way.. My body is rapidly falling apart but the bits that are ok don’t need to look bad. I’ve always wanted to have my hair done at voodoo and I’ve saved up and finally was able to get it done. I think we are also going to see Hamilton at the Empire if we can get tickets.

So thank you to @hayley_voodou for@doing my hair. You’re so talented, sweet and kind and patient with my non stop talking lol

Thank you to @cindacry for taking the time to book an appointment for me and be with me when I know you’re super busy with comic cons etc. you’re super talented too giggle. Well you are!

Ad a HUGe thank you to my son Ian for pushing me in the wheelchair and then having a nice time in town. I don’t get many trips out. I think it was four last year so when I do get to go out everything is joyful and gratitude is a lot. #haur #hairdo #haircolour #crazycoliurs #vividly #suchfun #awesomehairdontcare #whoodohairdo #whodoovoodou , @guess, @tkmaxxuk @yoursclothing #comedianiamnot #itry #hashtagsanonymous by @originalkitten

I stand with trans people. I’m cisgendered and have never felt unsafe around trans women or men. Biological men, however, are a different story. by @originalkitten

Happy heavenly birthday mum. 73. Wow. It’s been so kit but feels like yesterday. You were 59 when you passed.

I miss you mum. I just poured my heart out into this and wrote something and its deleted it. Just know I miss you every hour of every day. I feel so alone. Barbara has passed away and it feels like I’ve lost you and nana all over again. How do I keep doing this? I’m sat here completely alone today and wishing I wasn’t. I tried so hard not to be. People are too busy and just don’t have time for me which is understandable. I miss picking up the phone and 😆 jf over some show or analysing it to guess who did it which is something we did since I was a kid wanting to be a detective. 🕵️ ive no cats anymore mum. I wish I had your strength to not care what happens there taught. I’ve no one I can call and chat and laugh with because I forget half of what i wanna say and land up waffling. I either talk too much or not enough and I struggle with my hearing which causes me to lose my track of thought. I miss your silly laughter and I miss our inside jokes like my sister and I mimicking you laughing for hours to make you carry on. I wish I had your voice saying I’m so proud of you lou and I wish I could turn the clock back and force you to get checked out.

I’m trying hard mum to move on but it’s so hard cause you were my support system. But I promise you I’m not giving up.

Love you. Look after Barb up there and show her around. Take Nan to meet her and Ariel too. Hug me mum. And don’t let go. Put the kettle on xox by @originalkitten

Another pic from the wedding. I was in a lot of pain here as I’d been up since 5am, had a horrid morning dealing with liver stuff and just got the castle on time to see my best friend walk down the aisle to where Kings and Queens got married hundreds of years ago. I had one best friend on one side and another walking down the aisle and one of my gorgeous sons by my side. I was so incredibly proud of him knowing the trouble he has with his legs and the pain he is in but we made it. My arms were covered in blisters because lupus doesn’t like the sun and I’m exhausted still a month later. Would I do it all again. Hell yeah because that’s what friends are for. Plus I had a blast. I was quieter than my normal outgoing self but it’s been a very long time for me since I socialised at a gathering and I gotta relearn it all. One step ( or wheel) at a time girl. One step at a time. taken in Ludlow Castle by @originalkitten

New hair! Went back to my natural colour. What it was before I was poorly. Trying to trick my brain to taking me back to a time when I was a lot more healthy than I am now. …lol also got my best friends wedding. My first day out and holiday in 9 years. I’ve been out the last two weeks more times than in the last 9 years. It feels so good except when anxiety kicks off. The wedding is a hobbit one so elven archer here I am look so looking forward to seeing my friend marry her sweetheart. 💓🥹🥹 by @originalkitten

Happy 29th Birthday Steven lm a little late posting this and not sure if you’ll see it but I hope you had an amazing day my sweet boy. You will always be my hero is something I’ve said she before I had your brother. It was something I said when you made me proud whether it was your first word, achievement in school against all odds ie bullies and health and still came out on top. Even when you left home, got yourself on a university access course and went all the way to get a first with honours, all done on your own. You don’t realise how strong and resilient you are and remember my son, this is only the start of your journey, and there will be plot twists and twisty turns, lots of them but that will only make arriving at your destination even better and so worth it. Stand tall and strong hero. You’ll get to where you want to be.

Love you lots

Mum

Missing all of the above and I can’t change that but one thing I can is me and the way I react to things. I just turned 50 on 3 May. I was dreading it and yeah it wasn’t a nice day cause things went totally tits up. Everything that went wrong could go wrong. I get a lot of time to think and process things. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s hard and I’m a fool of my own making but sometimes I find a glimmer of hope. I see me again starting to shine through and I don’t know how long it will last but while it does I’ll fight to bring me back, to fight through the storms and trust in the light that’s ahead of me instead or the light I’ve left behind. I’m seeing now that light Is not ant light l have lost but it’s light I’m leaving for my next life or it could be for whomever has shown me kindness and love and I’ve left a little light for you. I’ve decided the next decade isn’t something bringing me closer to death at 59 like my mum but it’s a chance to find me, fight for me and live the best life u can that’s ahead of me, fighting who, having certainty that as long as I’m giving the Light to others instead of hogging it tor myself then not only will the world will be a better place but so will I. To all who have gone from this plane & those just from my life, I hope I make you proud.

I’m off to my best friends wedding in June and I’m terrified of being away from the safety of my room. I’ll be with my bffs and my son who’s taking me and watching a wonderful woman get married to a wonderful man and I have done everything I can to get there, even forfeiting my 50th party (that I probably never would have gone to lol ) and I have saved and saved and saved so I can be there. I’m sicker than I’ve ever been. My liver is dying, I may not be able to stand up for more than 5 minutes, I wear dentures now, and my body is lob-sided but I am still am me. I just laid dormant for a while but I feel me poking my head up looking for bridges to mend, love@to give and to be loved back!!
