As referred to over in Otterkat, things have been kind of tough around here lately (“here” being Chez Crazy, abode of Tuxedo and myself) due to major health crises; redundancy and fruitless job search – due to the total lack of a n IT job market it should be said and nothing to do with the brilliance of my man; battling the dragon of government welfare agencies and trying to get the support and the pension to which I’m entitled; adjusting to the new World Order and our new circumstances; and mostly, realising how absolutely mind-blowingly lucky, fortunate and happy we really are.

So – the aforementioned health crises.

So here’s the thing; Otterkat wasn’t working that well for me. I wasn’t posting much at all because I was self-censoring. Entries just didn’t gel or meld in with the rest of the “style” in fact there was no “style” or over-arching thematic structure or somesuch shite. Yes I’m eclectic but there was happy horsie stuff and recipes and girly entries, mixed in with manic rants and depressing and introspective posts. The health issue ie The Collection was the major problem; if I blogged daily it would be “Tuesday: screaming pain. Wednesday: screaming pain, puking. Thursday: screaming pain, puking, vertigo, fuck I’m fed up.” That would get somewhat monotonous, I believe.

To that end I’ve split Otterkat into two, one part remaining as Otterkat, which will comprise the lighter side, viz a viz entries on horses, kittens, make up and skin care and other female stuff, cooking, books, rainbows and butterflies and unicorns / pegasi et al.
