Sorry I have not updated in over a month! Yeesh, things have been pretty crazy where to begin?
A couple weeks ago I got into a car accident. Nobody was injured, but my car is in pretty tough shape. This is super stressful for me, because my work depends on having a car. So no car, no work.  However, the accident was not my fault, so I was positive that the other person's insurance would cover the cost of fixing my car and get me a rental. More on that in just a bit.

So then there is the matter of my old landlord attempting to screw me out of my $1500 deposit. I am currently taking him to court over the matter. Although this is also a stressful situation, I'm sure I'll win this one. My landlord has been dumb enough to nail his own coffin shut. In fact, I almost can't wait to make a complete fool out of him in court. He has no idea that I have already spoken to the people who moved in after me, and that they have told me that no painting was done on the apartment and no cleaning had been done either. It's going to be glorious!

Now yesterday had to have been one of the worst days of my life. Honestly, I'm sure it will remain in the top five for a very long time if not indefinitely
I was awoken at 7 am to the sound of my phone ringing. I answered the phone and immediately I heard someone knocking on my door too. The woman on the phone proceeded to tell me that my cat had been hit by a car. I had been asleep for only 3 hours and my head was not at all ready to accept this kind of news. The knocking on the door would not stop either. The woman on the phone said something about blood coming from his mouth. I began to cry. The knocking continued.
I told the girl on the phone to wait just a minute and I would meet her outside to get my cat.
I opened the door only half dressed and my neighbor was standing there.
"Listen" she started to say before I cut her off with "I know". And continued getting dressed as fast as I could. Rowan went to get Luther and brought him inside.
I looked at his face and almost lost it. I was nearly hysterical. His mouth and nose were streaming with blood and he was having trouble breathing. His head was so swollen that his left eye was contorted and it was obvious he could not see out of it.
I took him from Rowan and put him down on the rug and tried to comfort him while simultaneously checking online for the closest Animal Hospital that would be open so early. My other roommate showed up and tried to comfort me. I honestly thought my cat was done for. Luther is one of the most important being in my life, and loosing him like this would be completely devastating.
I found a hospital and rushed him there as fast as I could. The doctor said he was going to be ok. He had some pretty serious head trauma, but it seems like he'll pull through. Only time will tell if his brain was affected. Keep your fingers crossed!
So he'll be in the hospital until at least Thursday. Which means the hospital bill will be about $1,000. Ouch. Did I mention my bank account is currently overdrawn? So I'm hoping for a miracle here.
Later that same day, I got a call from the insurance company. They called to tell me that they seemed to have pulled some mythical witness out of thin air they said I had been speeding and ran the red light. So no rental for me, and no, they aren't accepting liability and will not be fixing my car.
So here I am at the end of the day, with my baby boy in the hospital, no car, no way of fixing the car, no job, no money. Yep, definitely one of the worst days of my life. My nerves were so shot that I could neither sleep because of the nightmares, nor eat because of the nausea.
Oh yeah! And my foot is fucked up right now because a neighbor's cat stabbed me with his claws. Total freak accident. Somehow it would seem the cat managed to hit a nerve AND my tendon. So now my tendon is tight and my big toe is numb and I can't bend it quite as far as my other foot. No, I don't have insurance, so I can't get it checked out.

When it rains, it pours!

I am hoping some of you have a couple dollars to spare for my kitty. Anything you donate will be used strictly to pay for my cat's treatment. He's an amazing kitty. In fact, he has become everyone in my buildings favorite cat.
This is Luther:




I will also be selling more prints. Let me know which photo is your favorite of any of my sets, and I'll let you know if I can print it for you!

Please message me if you feel like you can donate, and I'll give you the paypal email address to send it to.
Thanks so much, and sorry for such a depressing update. Let's hope for a better one next time!
