Homage to my Favorite Asshole

the number of times i called this guy a dickface probably can't be counted, and i am quite surprised that nubs hasn't picked it up and started saying it himself.

sorry for the hiatus. the last few days of vacation were a little....stressful. and sad. and tiring. mostly sad.

(it figures, we finally get a chance to attempt to relax, and it doesn't work out entirely.)

remember how i previously posted about how no matter what the situation, how close you are, or whatnot, losing one of your family is never fun? yep. that just happened, while i was 5 states away, and i am pretty sure it is one of the hardest things i've had to do.

rufio was diagnosed with diabetes on friday morning. the doctor that examined him actually took him home overnight and watched him to make sure things didn't go downhill. by the next morning he was stable, slightly better, but by the afternoon.....i guess things didn't stay that way.

we didnt even get to say goodbye. </3

so now we are down to one, plus the birds. gizmo has been extra loud, probably in part because of that, and in part because i put him on a diet (his fat ass gained 3lbs in a week, which is pretty bad for a cat). assface is good at being an assface.

i am definitely a loaf.

it has been a long week, going back to work and catching up on everything. work 1 has been a little stressful, as i currently do not have a boss, and the next level up (district manager) is impossible to get ahold of. not that i can hire a manager, but a keyholder below me, i can't even do anything about because i need approval. we have no people to work and have to call around to other stores and borrow people. i am hoping it will be fixed soon. it is kind of annoying that noone will get back to me.

anyway. lets get back to rufio.

he was pretty good at snuggles when it came down to it. he was also ron's boy, so he gave him special treatment. (i suppose now it's gizmo's turn though.) all we have left now are memories and asshole #1. (cosmo was promoted to asshole #2, just for the record.)

i'm pretty positive he was gay. maybe a little. i mean, purple bows, rainbows, occasionally molesting his brother....whatever made him happy, i guess.

they always seemed to be doing the same thing at most times, and would take turns eating the bird seed/poop off the ground.

♥♥♥♥♥

ohh. he loves him so much. so do i, even if i didn't show it the same way. (for seriously, dont you believe anything otherwise.) he was one of my kids, and a piece of our family was torn away.

maybe someday we will look into a new playmate for assface, but in the mean time, i need to get things sorted out, and back under control (and by that, i mean pay off all of this new debt from our teeth, vacation, and the vet visit).

thank you to dr. b at the animal hospital, for showing him such amazing love and compassion and giving him his best chance. there are not many people that would go out of their way like that in the world, and it is truly an amazing thing you did.

with any luck, i will have something wednesday. i have beach pictures to share, and i can't remember if i finished sharing my other recipes or not. thanks for reading.

rufio, dickface, loaf- at least you don't have to be sick anymore. you are forever loved, and will be forever in our hearts. ~8.15.2015~ xoxo
