Shir, I'm so sorry. She had a good life with you. May the stone cats welcome her back.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Batcat was doing better for a bit. And then not. We are putting her to sleep this morning.
I'm so sorry, Shir. Goodbye, most excellent and sweet Batcat. You were well loved in this world.

I’m sorry, Shir.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Forgot to post this earlier. Ooops.
A different exercise in jargon, but it still makes me laugh. The 1982 special Christmas sketch from Yes, Minister.

Hey. New board.
We'll the six year old woke a 2:30 am and basically didn't sleep again. So... Merry Christmas.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry, Shir. Much love and a gentle passage to Batcat.
Merry unexpectedly early Christmas, Gris (and, 6-year-old, please have some mercy on your poor parents!). I'm about to go back to bed myself; no one else is close to being up and moving, and I've just been waiting for an anxiety dream to fade so I can nod off again for the last little bit of the night.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sometimes if I make up a good ending for the anxiety dream my brain will resolve it and go back to sleep.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Woke up at 6:30 to a loud crash/bang sound that rattled the house -- turns out there was an explosion at an apartment building downtown, a couple of miles away. As far as I can tell, there are a few injuries but no fatalities, thank god, but the building is basically destroyed. Unbelievable.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm sorry, Shir. My condolences.
