ladysprite | And The Next Day, And The Next....

First things first - thank you so much to everyone who offered advice, support, and/or condolences about Moxie. It really means a lot to me, and it does help to know that I have friends who care and understand.

It also helps to work in this industry; I've been lucky enough to have coworkers call and offer their condolences and understanding. If there's one group of people who can accept the pain this causes without questioning, it's vets.

My house feels so empty and quiet right now. I think part of why it's so hard is that I wasn't expecting it to happen so suddenly. I knew she was going downhill, but I had convinced myself she still had months, maybe a year.

In the past week I've dealt with having the flu, cancelling my holiday plans, and now losing my kitten. And this is on top of it being dark and cold and, until today, gray and miserable. And I'm tired, and I'm running out of enthusiasm and positivity, and right now I just want to sleep for a hundred years. I know, intellectually, that the best thing for me is to get out and be active and see people, but all I have the energy for is curling up on the sofa.

This too shall pass....
