So? Be kind and gentle to yourself. It's ok to totally fall apart, and it's ok to pretend none of this is happening.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, Anne, I'm sorry. Poor old Jeeves.
But I'm getting to where I can remember all her sounds and quirks and self, not the worry of the past few months.
Yeah, I've recently been reminded of the State I was in over the summer over poor Homer, and I really had forgotten.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
One of the things that's making Jeeves' decline especially sad is that he can no longer meow.
As sara said, be very kind and gentle to yourself. It's so hard.
It's coming up on the anniversary of unexpectedly losing Kittenish while my Dad was being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. By far the hardest part was racing home to get to her and getting one small meow. I'm grateful for it too. But I knew I'd never hear it again. And I was the one person she was verbal around.
It's just very hard. And I am sorry that Jeeves is declining. I get so attached to Buffista cats.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I don't think I have anything that mimics here.
I would love it if we had something like that, because here it would be a lyrebird: [link]

Lyrebirds are kinda amazing. Or horrifying with the car alarm. The chainsaws just make me sad.
I think there should be a bird that mimics David Attenborough.

The world can go, with all due respect, fuck itself. I have a memorial to go to next Friday here before I go to my Dad's on Saturday. Unexpected. I don't think I have enough tears.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, Cass.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Cass. I'm so sorry.

Thank you. A few of you, those I've brought out to the desert, would have met him. I just really hate this.
And the timing sucks. I did two memorials a day before I left for Portland. That was really hard. This is just so awful I can't think of words.
