I'm sorry, Theo.
Ginger, that is an outstanding post.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Also, StY found his two-year-old tuxedo boy dead on the floor Saturday morning, and had to go to work. He couldn't leave him on the floor, and wouldn't put him outside because bugs, so he wrapped him in a plastic bag and put him in the freezer, and buried him when he got home from work. Macabre, but prosaic, my boy. He was so bummed because he rescued the kitty, and now he's thinking maybe the cat would be better off if he hadn't. Faulty thinking, but guilt won't be denied.

Thanks for reminding me, -t. That was an amazing post, Ginger. Thank you for expressing it so eloquently.

Sorry to hear about StY's cat. I'm sure he had about two more (and better) years than he would have otherwise.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry about StY's tuxedo kitty, too. Sometimes you never know why, but he was surely better off and happier in a warm safe loving home for the years he had. (And really, using the freezer was a perfectly reasonable thing to do, under the circumstances.)

Awww, i'm sorry Theo, and Bev. Losing pets is so hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, cats.

I don't know why, but cats make me sadder than dogs when it's their time to go. Probably because I'm a cat person.
I used to do the two clock thing when I was in the Navy. One clock next to me and one across the room set 15 minutes apart. It worked for most of my career; I never got written up!

Aw, kitties, no.
I have an alarm clock that I can reach from bed, an alarm on my phone that is across the room, and a FitBit alarm, but none of this saved me today. Getting the fail in early this week. It's fine.
I'm researching apartments in between meetings. I hope to get more info on timing later today.

My alarm is the radio, and I let it run so my brain can engage gears and come awake. If it was something I turned off, I'm sure I'd just slip back asleep. But the morning DJ reminds me that the day is running, and if I'm still laying there when the news guy comes on, I know I'm in trouble.
