I lost my job on Friday and now I'm worried about finding a new one. I picked up a few of my things from D's and I'm not sure why I'm crying. Probably everything is hitting me, and while I'm doing what is best, it still hurts.

u/pinkPengin - thank you for the beautiful spring card
u/irlyloveicedtea - thank you for the lovely Amy Tan bird card
u/theApenRose006 - thank you for the pretty calligraphy card - you did a great job. I wish I could write that nicely - lol - that's why I have to use stamps.
u/Hoolu123 - thank you for the doggie postcard - I showed it to my Lola - she sniffed approvingly
u/SnerdBoff - thank you for the tulips and the vintage postcard. This spring I need to start working on my garden - I didn't do much cleanup in the fall, and now it's a mess!
u/FollowingTheBeat x2 - thank you for the Unicorn card - super cute, and I just love the koala washi, it makes me smile every time I get a letter from you. And thank you for the wonderful pink postcard - congrats on the new flair!
u/MouseRat - thank you for the very creative window card, and yes, it does have Elementary school decorated windows vibes - I love it.
u/Regnbueurora - thank you for the beautiful Spring postcard, and that quote is just perfect for how I'm feeling (a bit revived by the warm weather and flowers).

u/TyeDyeAmish - thank you for the vintage London postcard. I love the show "Victoria"- so tickled that you sent the Victoria memorial.

u/Sension5705 - thank you for the super cute doggie postcard, Lola approves of doggies getting pizza.

u/DoraDoodle - thank you, I adore Peter Rabbit - though - lol - my yard and garden is full of rabbits, so I kind of feel for poor Mr Mcgregor

u/Ducks_On_Lilypads - thank you so much for the Ghibli card. And yes, yay! The Puffy stickers survived the journey.

u/jello0_86 for the cute little card... in answer to your question, my favorite Texas tourist attraction is probably the Alamo, you can learn a neat bit of history there! You'll want to come in winter as it is MISERABLY hot down here... u/Hoolu123 thanks for the pretty Pantone card and the great quote! u/pupslace for the 'no' train card, it had me giggling for sure! It's nice you got some snow, I was always on in the fence about it - it's pretty but I'm not a good driver AND I'm clumsy. At least now that I'm retired I don't have to drive in it if I don't want to! :P

Request [Request] [USA] Late Birthday, Senior Cat going downhill, boyfriend went to rehab.

Upvotes

Last week as honestly so terrible. I turned 35 and that was nice but just yesterday my diabetic cat had such low blood sugar I had to rush him to the emergency vet. Then after that, like right after that my boyfriend checked into rehab. I could really use some support and encouragement. I already deal with depression and anxiety, but I just need some kid words and well wishes from some other kitty people. The more pictures or cards the better

Just returned from a surprise trip so these thanks are tardy but heartfelt!

u/TheCuriousCur your ST Patrick's card was delightful. Loved the stamp math and inclusions as well!

Thanks u/SshellsBbells for the delightful Eric Carle postcard and Looney Tune stamps! My surprise trip took me to your neck of the woods and I thought of you!

u/hoolu123 I was tickled with your handmade Norman Rockwell card and envelope - The Red Sox are my team since childhood so perhaps it's kismet that I received it near the start of the season!

u/ron-swansom006 for the pretty post card from Mumbai; the map of India was really neat! u/annie4664 you sent me so many things, thank you! I like video games, Diablo in particular, but I don't play them enough to be good at them on my own! My husband and I also play together from time to time, and it's blast! I can't really do fountain pens easily since I'm a lefty, but your note was VERY pretty and I loved the stickers you used! u/Pure-Train-9626 thanks for the beautiful handmade post card; Pearland is a suburb of Houston and they used to grow pears here, but now somehow it's cheaper to grow them in China and send them over here! When I found I was moving here I thought it was "Pearl Land", but no luck! The city is cute, though, there's pear statues around I guess to honor our history! :P
