You did the right thing, but I know it's so hard. I'm so sorry.

Thanks, y'all. If I knew how to do one of those fancy graphic things like Scola does, I'd make a heart here for you.
HEART.
Wasn't that the same night she stole food from Casper's hand?
Totally! That was one of T's & G's and my Anti-Super Bowl parties, back in the day, back when I used to live with gay men and we used to have theme parties like that. We were so young then! Now we're middle-aged and priests and I forget when the Super Bowl even is. Sigh.
I can't imagine your place without her
Inorite? There's a reason my lj handle used to be luluminion. In her sassier days, she was definitely the boss of the household. She used to decide which days T&G's boxer could go on the second floor of the house. He was like, "Uh...okay."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, I asked the CTA to not close the Jarvis St. station, and look what happened: CTA puts brakes on talk of closing Red Line stations

I am so sorry Amyth.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh, amyth, I'm so sorry. It's so goddamn hard even when it's the right thing to do.
I just can't believe she's not here in the apartment anymore.
Muscle memory is going to get you, hard. I didn't realize how many things had become routine in caring for Chloe until I didn't have to do them anymore.

Airlines brace for monster snow storm
With a snow storm of historic proportions expected in Chicago, Illinois, and large sections of the country's midsection, some airlines are already allowing passengers to change plans.
The storm will impact about three-quarters of the United States, from New England all the way to New Mexico, said CNN meteorologist Rob Marciano. Travelers should brace for a "three, three-and-a-half day event," he warned.
"Travel will likely be difficult to impossible in many areas," the National Weather Service said. Snowfall, primarily on Tuesday, could be over 12 inches in parts of Missouri and Illinois.
