Checking in

Yesterday, we packaged up Tzepesh's remains and sent him off to the very nice people who are going to clean his skeleton for us. When he comes home, he will sit next to Dread Beast in his very own coffin box, and I will say goodnight to him every night, just like I do with Dread Beast.

That ... errand? Chore? Went as smoothly and painlessly as possible, considering I was already having a fairly low day. But now it's done.

The Insomnia Fairy visited last night, much to my dismay and loathing. As I said on tumblr/twitter/FB today's to-do list:

- Day job
- Write GCS prom article
- Not fall asleep on the keyboard

I have promised myself that if I get the GCS prom post off to the beta readers in a timely fashion, I can spend the evening reading the big art book that came with the Elfman & Burton box set.

as spaced out as I am with fog today, it is nice to be useful in *some* way. ;)

Oh, so you did get the box set after all...that is a nice thought!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I did! It is gorgeous, and worth going into debt for.

I am envious of the box set. I couldn't bring myself to spending that much while trying to save for a move.

I'm eager to see GCS prom post although high school was many moons ago for me

I'm still paying off the box set, but it was so, so worth it.

The GCS prom post will feature a photo of TeenJilli, complete with big hair.

Oh my god that is so wonderful and so goth and so lovely and I could never do that with my beasties, it would make me too sad :(

I briefly thought about trying to get a scrap of Tsuki-monster's fur preserved because she had the softest most beautiful grey fur ever. But then I didn't because I realized it would make me too sad.

We had her cremated and returned her ashes to the baylands park where she was originally trapped as a wee feral kitten. Which also made me sad but seemed appropriate. Now every time I go to the baylands park I will be sad, but at least I don't go there every day? Of course thinking about it now I am sad. I guess I'm just going to be sad no matter what. I miss our little beastie :(

Dread Beastie was a huge cat, and I had always said that when he passed, I wanted to keep his skull. Tzepesh was Beastie's spiritual descendant, and it seemed appropriate that he be honored the same way.

Yes, you'll be sad about it, no matter what. I'm still sad about Beastie, and it's been more than six years.

What a lovely, lovely idea for you deceased fur-beasties. I may carry that on for my own in the future.
