Stuff and a Contest
Sorry I haven’t been blogging. Mist died on Thursday. It’s been a long week. We’re all okay — sad, and missing her, but okay — and her sister Tawny is doing fine (not that I speak feline, but I’ve known her for almost 16 years, so some stuff I can just tell — like she hasn’t pooped outside of the litter box, so yay). Death and birth: same day Mist died, my newest cousin was born. Death is part of life. It just sucks for the living.
Anyway.
I’m back to blogging, though. And today I’ve blogged over at the League of Reluctant Adults. Contest going on, for a dream analysis, to win a signed copy of Eternal Lover. Come on over.
But the pain and hurt of the loss is slowly fading to an ache. At one point, I’m sure I’ll stop looking around to see where she is, and I’ll remember all of the joy she’s given us over nearly 16 years (and even look back fondly on the times when I threatened to turn her into mittens — God, **why** did she love to eat through plastic bags and then puke everything up?). It hurts, it sucks. But death is part of life. And I know she’s stealing the french fries off of angel’s plates when she thinks they’re not looking.
