Okay legit question and I legit need help with this. Does anybody know what to do if one is in possession of a shadow box of a family member but can't reach (let alone handle) a so-called next of kin if no other relatives will take possession of it?

Show me how your 2025 went.

Remember also in these days. People that appear mean to you and feel they least deserve love, actually often are in need of it the most! Thats also why hugs are for everyone! 🦊 Happy #FursuitFriday !

Yeah.....I don't think I can keep this up anymore.....I gotta step back from things....a lot of things.....as for upcoming posts, they will just be me relaying stuff to specific people (because other methods just don't work). Mostly art related though not done by my claw.

Finally started doing something today. For those that know me, when sending packages to friends, I will usually enclose a note sealed with a wax seal. Managed to get 3 out of 4 done just now (delivery of 4th seal pending). Looking forward to the deliveries arriving to their recipients. ^..^

Hmmmm, if today is any reflection of what is coming down the pipe my way, it's gonna be a long couple of months ahead of me. Currently just sitting in the car, parked with music going and just zoning out into space somewhere.... *shrugs*

A new update. The replacement camera body just came a little while ago. Swapped part and tested it shutter wise and flash wise and all is good. The scary part was loading the film. Went extra slow and thoroughly checked everything. Put it in and wound on to starting position with no issues....

JFC!! Working this service tonight was garbage. People doing whatever. They brought in a more pro organist and there was a switch out. This guy has a dominant pedal division on Hammond and wasn't gonna sit here trying to adjust playing styles and embarrass myself. Final viewing was about to (cont).

Nothing particularly good to report here. In the span of about 3 hours, I have: Bricked an expensive camera, nearly turned into roadkill in crosswalk by aggressive cabbie, stood around idly waiting for bus, driver if bus nearly getting himself sideswiped, a few errands runs (nitpicked....

Spent a wonderful day in Manhattan with my pen pal @rezraptor.bsky.social!

Anybody have any recommendations for places I can take a weekend trip to? People to see? Fun things to do? Somewhere quiet? Something not too close to where I live but manageable for said weekend?

Did my main errand run for the day. Came home after stopping off at store for the usual. Got this version of "Passive Breeze" going on loop around while I sit here and reflect on things. youtu.be/eK5ozrSgqeI

Additionally: *Tell your friends you love them *Smooch your friends (with consent) *That thing you have to do instead of hanging out with your friends? No you don't, do it later, go hang out with your friends

Anybody have any information on acquiring a replacement vehicle? Namely something with a little ground clearance (higher than a sedan) but with storage space enough to haul an SWR Super Redhead amplifier maybe but not overkill in the huge department? Or anybody info on how to go about this?

Okay, I've felt my self confidence in doing much of anything else than being a church musician and just surviving day to day, get knocked down a couple of pegs. Am wondering are there any mechanically inclined furs in this city with diy stuff for vehicles? Could use some help with something stupid.

Managed to have some stuff happen yesterday that is noteworthy. Managed to record video of me at work, doing my thing as usual music wise. Sound is okay-ish but it's a thing (19 videos total). My camera film was developed and scanned. Found 3 pics of my mom in there and ordered 3 prints of one.

After this morning's craziness here at my end, I gave this a listen and felt like a lot of it started to melt away. Totally needed. ^..^

Today has been one hell of a day. The crazy stuff that is continuing to go on here where I live is unrelenting and if anything, feels like things are piling up. Got some things in order for now and just relaxing for a bit. Had a little bit of *The Prisoner" going on YouTube. Bad urge to watch....

I have finally returned after disconnecting from my sona for like 3 days after a load of bs I was subjected to. As such, I am going to make this known. If you are thinking of bs'ing me, move on. Not having anymore of this ill treatment and such. Just no.....Now to catch up on a few things.

Just sitting here idly for the moment after having mailed off a letter to a friend and completed some yardwork out front. Listening to music, I had an old idea for a piece of art come back to mind. I do a lot for others, but I think it's high time I treated myself to something nice for once.

Absolutely nothing matters more than being a kind and good person All the money in the world The best job The coolest car Amazing art skills The most beautiful fursuit Thousands of followers They mean nothing if the person behind it all is fake A true and kind heart cannot be bought.

Okay so today is "that day" again. Currently keeping the tv and radio off. Another dull day but I managed to do a thing just now in prep for another package to be mailed off to a friend. First time using a wax melting furnace powered by tealight candle. Most intriguing.

Not great news, I am afraid I am in need of a Kidney. Any help would be greatly appreciated Shares/Retweets are appreciated. More information can be located here: sites.google.com/view/alclave... Thank you 🐉♥️

Kinda just sitting here, tv off, blastic various music from my phone and speaker, somewhere between post in though and mind blanked currently. Nothing of particular importance to do today but another mood crash is looming. Had one yesterday just sitting in the car as yesterday marks one month since

Okay, so I haven't really had much to really post here since well, the evening of July 16thm. Still around and about but admittedly haven't been very focused. Trying to get back into the swing of things with a few personal projects. Nothing big but all special in their way. Hopefully in the coming..

Just gave this a listen and man, does it really hit a special place for me right now in light of things that have happened over the past month. A very lovely piece.

I am actually pretty curious about this.

Posting a very basic update. As of Monday morning, my mom was laid to rest. Since that time as to be expected it has not been easy taking each day as it comes. Been feeling about the most isolated where I am as I can ever remember feeling. Despite this, I continue trying to move forward. To those...

Welp, it's official now. My mom has officially passed away just a little bit ago.....Such ends a big part of my past life and I guess.......begins the new and unknown parts now......

I think I am going to have to go silent for a while. Too much happening way too fast on my end and I am pretty badly worn down at this point.

Only real update to report in right now, certain members of my mom's side of the family are already turning into the snakes in the grass trying to pull shit and spew shit behind my back. None of this surprises me. Uncle came yesterday to do just one thing and he started going overboard. Only.....

Well this is a thing.....Randomly started going through my wardrobe in my bedroom earlier and came across something I haven't seen in years. Thought it was discarded but it's here....if you don't know what this is, it's from a brass ring game that used to exist here.

Going on a hiatus, possibly indefinitely. I will be around but responses will be limited at best. That is all.

Today was pretty productive. Got storage unit stuff going. Only put two things in there so far but I got that done. Got 3 junk tv's and old electronics out for recycling. Ran other errands through till 1 pm. Felt good, till I reported to the hospital. All I can say is minimal improvement with mom.

Welp, mom is back in the hospital again and yet again, I find myself stuck in the ER waiting room, just waiting to get and relay any further information. Right now, it doesn't feel like she has too long, but I cannot say I know for sure at this time. Stuff is all too hellish right now. ~_~

Finally got a break for a bit after hours of sheer insanity. Still much work to be done but I am still here...

Okay so major life update here. Mom was recently hospitalized and released to come home. Was hoping for better cards than the hand I was dealt but, it looks like I am at a turning point in my life. Mom was diagnosed with a rare yet aggressive form of cancer. The news was confirmed last week.

Update on job, I still retain my position. However, it's basically still on life support. First half of shift went fine until organist switched places with other musician. Everything just started going downhill from there. I think after this Sunday (depending what happens), I will step back.

Welp, this is an interesting conundrum for me. During this week, I received a call from my cousin regarding the insanity that was "work" last Sunday. I know he is fed up with the goings on there and well, he has allowed certain things music staff wise to occur that I cannot determine if just on....

Welp, I did a thing today. I pulled the fuse out of my amplifier after finishing my shift at work today. It's now an 80 lb paperweight. May have rehearsal to attend on Wednesday and work next Sunday but pfffft, not bothering to go in for either for like a span of a week, maybe more.

Okay so yesterday was interesting to say the least. Managed to finally test my hunch. For the first time in over 13 years, I willingly took mom out on a non-essential drive to a place she hasn't been to since before covid.

Another day at play, nothing majorly new to report. Back sitting in car and did a test with my Bluetooth adapter thingy. Seems I can use it to listen to more than just phone calls on my phone. This is promising. Will probably make heavy use of that tomorrow.

Welp, I did a thing today. Not much of a thing but a thing. Just been sitting in the car with the windows down, listen to music from all different eras from my phone, still letting my mind wander. Was too nice to stay confined in the house as usual. Watching the clouds and wishing it would rain.

Finished my shift. Sermon had only one thing in it I actually gave a shit about. Preacher basically said the obvious. "People need to learn how to be kind to each other...". I could go on about this but I finally made it home. Re-edited and corrected for typing errors due to being in transit home.

Life update: Welp this month is well beyond toast. But I guess since about Wednesday, I should have seen the signs at latest by then that everything was literally falling apart. Had a lot of stuff happen this past week and by the end of it, I feel beyond spent. Won't go into details about that but..

Okay, I've got a rather dumb question. Are there any other furs around here in the big city? Kinda trying to disrupt my usual work/home rut I've been stuck in and more importantly trying to focus in on something a bit more uplifting. If you are, do reach out.

I think it's well beyond time for me to step back from things for a bit. Things have been insane still and the demands placed up on me as of late have run me into the ground. Long story short, neighbor's husband had a medical emergency on Valentine's Day. Rushed and dealt with that.

Okay so quick catch-up post. Mom is home and recovering. Still have my job after the near walk off. Doing a lot of catching up on things like mailing stuff to people and so on. Please pardon the delays on my end. A lot is still in play.

It's heartbreaking when an online friend disappears and you're left not knowing what's happened. Please share contact details with your friends of any next-of-kin / local friends. And please, tell your friends you love them every day. You never know how much longer you may have with them.
