It's another one of those -

Slept like crap last night. But, I finished the birthday sake! It seemed appropriate to finish off the day with something cherished, rare and singular.

God, I am going to miss that cat. It's another one of those - if I start crying, I won't stop. And what will I get of it?

More tired. So, it's easy to justify not doing it. Long years of practice, folks. And my memory is too good not to forget what crying until exhaustion actually feels like.

I don't have the energy for that right now.

*sighs* Like another bead on the string - another pet has had her time with me and has now moved on.

Do me a favor - anyone fostering kittens or caring for elderly cats, I have some food you can use. It's not suitable for any other purpose and I can't return it. I'll toss it up here first - then I start calling all the cat rescues in the area, and baby - there's a bunch of them. Vet had us buy a whole flat of it. Still do NOT know what she was thinking.

This morning, I actually had enough time to sit and work jigsaw puzzles with Xander and not rush. My nose is just about clear of gunk, and the cough is less. I'll be well soon. And the kitty is fine now. She's just not here anymore.

I may have to hang out at daycare and meet some parents soon - he's making some really good friends down at daycare that we might want to set up playdates with soon.

Which reminds me, I have some calls to make. Will also have to get some perspective soon on the reality that I am really NOT the only one making calls, following up and taking care of stuff.

It just feels that way right now.

Someone bake me a cake?

If you were local, I could bake you a Schwarzwalder Kirsch Torte, like I used to make for the first ex's b'day. Guaranteed to cause chocolate-cherry overload. Have a virtual one, instead. Maybe by the time you are next in the BayArea, I'll have a functioning kitchen and will be able to make you a real one.

Just sent off a carrier ping that may solve the kitten-food sitch for ya.

I dropped her a line myself - she's actually got a crock-pot to get from the BIL's mother's estate to replace stuff wot got burnt...we adore her, but we rarely see Cricket.

I could surely use some kitten lurve - yes, I surely could.

What kind of food is it? If it's w/d, we might be interested in a trade.

*sends virtual cake* (I don't have time to bake this week at all, alas).

Unfortunately, its the a/d - just about useless for any other purpose.

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

Oh. We had some a/d for a while. Yuki would try to eat that stuff. It's really tasty to cats. W/d? Not so much.

I'm glad to hear you're almost free of the snot at last.

Hugs.
I wish I could bring you a cake AND a pie!

*sigh*

Hopefully catharsis. A lancing of a grief-filled abscess. A pouring-out.

It may need to be lanced more than once.

I have two senior cats (they just turned 16, from the same litter), but I'm not familiar enough with food types to understand what you mean by a/d. My cats are generally happy enough with the cheapest food and we don't generally buy by type.
