Quarantine is over for our newest foster and the boys finally got to meet and play this morning. I’ve been fostering a 3 month old panleuk-exposed (highly contagious, potentially lethal feline virus) kitten and he finally cleared quarantine this morning!

Julian Patatas would like to submit his audition for a music video for @thehornesection.bsky.social He would normally stay on task better, but he loves outside and because we’re in the midst of a crazy heatwave, he’s not been out in almost 2 weeks!

It’s been an atrocious week. Time to lick my wounds and binge some @thehornesection.bsky.social Juju’s helping with snuggles, too.

Started the morning off by taking Julian Patatas out for some bird watching.

I am the sickest I’ve been in quite sometime but at least I’ve got my little orange boy to keep me company. Please ignore how awful I sound and just soak in this cuteness.

Yesterday, I suddenly got extremely ill. Today we confirmed that I have pneumonia again and had a very not fun conversation about my likelihood of surviving this crisis given how weak my body is. Spoiler: odds aren’t great. But then I saw this sweet goose family on my way home, and that helped

I feel like I should be offended, but Lou’s portrayal of terminal illness is so freaking funny. This is exactly the kind of humor I need right now as I’m stuck in bed with pneumonia and my very real terminal illness. Dying sucks. Laughter helps. So thanks for the laugh @dimension20.dropout.tv

Sick days are rough, but getting kitten snuggles while binging @dimension20.dropout.tv and @taskmaster.tv definitely makes things a little better. Here’s hoping I can stay out of hospital and continue recouping with this little guy by my side. 😻Julian Patatas is the best boy.

I truly can’t express how much I needed this right now. Thank you so much. Also shout out to Greg for giving me another extremely relevant quote.

My neurodegenerative disorder causes recurrent strokes. By the time we got to double digits, this was absolutely how my friends would respond when I’d lie down and nonchalantly announce “I’m having a stroke.” @dimension20.dropout.tv

The statistician in me knows it doesn’t actually do anything, but I do enjoy cooking my dice for our biweekly D&D game.

Finally catching up on @dimension20.bsky.social Gladlands. I thought this was supposed to be lighthearted season, so I wasn’t prepared to be sobbing like. But dang it, @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social has once again found the perfect words to pierce my heart.

We all know there’s something going on with orange, but just what is it that makes them so chaotic and odd? I grew up with cats and have never met another like my Julian Patatas.

I’ve been quite sick the past few days. Now all the friends in my D&D are snowed in and want to do an impromptu session. I said of course but may have to keep it short as I’m unwell. I was told to roll a medicine check. A nat 3. Yeah that feels about right.

He’s so happy.

I forgot to lock my walker before laying down for a nap and my cat pushed it to the other side of the room. Now he’s just laying here next to me all sweet and purring like he did nothing wrong.

I cannot thank @dimension20.bsky.social and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social enough for inspiring to get my old D&D group together and create a character that resembles me. Also, today was Juju’s first D&D experience and he really wanted to help roll my stat block

I’ve been rewatching @dimension20.bsky.social Unsleeping City and for some reason desperately craving baked spaghetti (iykyk) I think it turned out pretty well considering I’m allergic to tomatoes and can only cook with a microwave and air fryer.

Things I did not expect to have to say to my cat… No, sir, you may not play with broken glass! Please ignore the shelf and lamp shade on floor. He is Julian destroyer of anything hanging on walls. I have just given up at this point.

I’m coping with the fact that I’m very sad and sick by binging a massive quantity of @dimension20.bsky.social But, also, this clip is a very accurate representation of how quickly I get pneumonia and will be my default response the next time someone asks to hang out even though they have a cold

As a wheelchair user this might be one of the most relatable clips of @dimension20.bsky.social ever. Genuinely, feels like that is a lot of walking to me.

Things have been rough. So I spent the day doing some art. This quote from @dimension20.bsky.social Neverafter has been on my mind a lot recently. Dying sucks and it often feels like I’m barely keeping my head above water, but I am grateful for every day and all the memories I’m able to make.
Painting in a sketch book of the Itsy Bitsy Spider. A grey spider is on a black web with large storm cloud above. In the cloud is written the quote:
“I like the sunshine more than the rain, but my favorite thing about myself is when it’s raining, I never get too down.”

Starstruck (@dimension20.bsky.social ) is SciFi, but this line is all too real. “You rent your ability to live” Although, @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social charges much less than the US. My ventilator alone is over $5,000/month. I don’t want to think what my DME would charge for a full cyborg body
020
Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 25/11/2025
Not sure if I’m actually getting sick, still reeling from smoke inhalation (from catching my microwave on fire), or if my ventilator malfunctioning last night triggered a respiratory crisis. Either way breaking out the sick tea tonight and heading in for a chest x-ray and cultures in the morning.

Just starting @dimension20.bsky.social adventuring party now that I’ve watched up through Crown of Candy. I’m not sure if Lou accurately described the Hydra lifestyle, but he nailed Kacie and I’s sleep habits. The number of random quotes I’ve compiled from this show is wild.

3 weeks ago I was told Kacie had 2-3 weeks. She’s still stable and regaining skills everyday! Yesterday she got her favorite bone out of the toy box all by herself and started chewing on it.

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 16/11/2025
Kacie did her little happy hops again this morning for the first time since she collapsed nearly 3 weeks ago. The vets didn’t think she’d still be here but she’s still improving everyday 💕

Being the human parent of 2 medically complex animals, I’ve learned to take photos and videos when one starts doing something odd. This morning Beany baby started coughing/gagging. Kacie went to check on him and this is the footage I actually got. I love that they love each other so much.

Setting up my nativity tonight and I can’t help but think that cow looks precisely packed to eat baby Jesus. This nativity is older than me. This has never been a problem before. #MangerDanger @thehornesection.bsky.social

Okay. But fur real what’s up with my animals? Julian Patatas has been an absolute menace all morning. Put on @thehornesection.bsky.social Christmas album to help Kacie settle for a nap and Juju comes running over and starts making biscuits on my lap. A few songs in and they are both mesmerized.

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 03/11/2025
Kacie had a quite good day yesterday all things considered but has been restless overnight. I turned on @thehornesection.bsky.social and let their music work its magic on her. Now the only problem is she’s managing to take up the whole bed and I don’t have the heart to move her. 🐶💕💔

I don’t think I’ve introduced him here yet. This is my little foster failure. Julian Patatas. Named for my book series, Ender’s Game, and, of course, my favorite TV program, @taskmaster.tv We started fostering him when he was just a few days old. He’s a literal nightmare but I love him so much
Less than a week old and still learning how to existKacie and Patatas on my bed. They became fast friends and are touching noses. Juju taking a nap in his first CatBoxLil’ Bean (yes this boy has many names) popping out of a pumpkin.

Last Tuesday my sweet Kacie Kay fell out bed and became disoriented and unable to walk. Thursday she was diagnosed with an aggressive terminal cancer. She’s still eating (though she can’t chew) & drinking well. There’s no treatment but we have found a medication cocktail that’s keeping comfortable
Since Kacie can’t get up on my bed anymore, we moved my mattress onto the floor in the living room and add cushions all around just in case she falls off or doesn’t want to step up. My friends got Kacie an emotional support bread pillow. It is the perfect chin rest. Photo shows Kacie napping on the bed while my little orange kitten Julian Patatas get a drink from the fountain bowl in the background Photo shows Kacie standing and drinking from the fountain bowl. I’m so proud of her because last week I had to bring water to her but now she can orient herself enough to drink when she wants!
