I feel like a wet wash cloth that has been wrung out and left hanging limp on the edge of the sink. I was a wreck the other day. I boo hooed and moped. I got a headache and queasy. I blew chunks and got splash back all over my face. How is that for a pitiful picture? (Why do I feel so comfortable telling people what a dork I am?) Anyway. Thursday rolled around and I felt a little better. (Although it seems I have a cold or something now. It figures! :P ) I set out to cleaning up all Simon's old stuff. The trays I had to set out all over the place to keep him from peeing on the floor. The bedding he loved so much. It was tough but I got it done. Then I just set out to keep myself as busy as I could. I do have company coming after all. Moping won't get things ready. (Sasha the other cat in the last photo from the last post is as lost without Simon as I am. She has been wandering around looking for him, as well as coming to me for attention all the time. That's not her usual way.)
Then in the late afternoon I got a call from my sweet CCB. He had been in meetings all morning and wanted to check on me and let me know he was back into town. In addition to that he told me he got 2 bonus checks. TWO! We only expected one. So remember that other wah-y post where I said we'd had financial crap flung at us. Well now I feel better about that. I was afraid we'd have these out of town guests and I'd be pinching pennies. Now I can relax.
As for my coffee pot, well it's still broken. I haven't been very motivated to climb out from under my dark little cloud to go replace it. I'm doing that today. Perhaps my daily dose of Java will set me straight!
Thank you for all your sweet comments. You are all so thoughtful. I appreciate you so much.
I'm off to stock my kitchen for the coming visitors. I can't wait to see them. Have a great weekend everyone.

You know, you may actually have a little sniffle-itis for a couple of days. Grieving lowers the immune system unfortunately, but you should be back in the saddle soon. It may take Sasha a little longer to understand what's going on but she'll come around too.
Congrats on the financial windfall. That and a new coffee pot will help clear the cobwebs from your head:)
Have a fabo weekend!
You're my hero, sis. You really are. Even on days that you drive me up the wall, I have nothing but respect for you. I can't imagine the strength you've had to produce to get through this trauma. I ... wow. You're a hell of a woman.
I love you very, very, very much.
I'm glad you are feeling better...I saw an article, a few weeks ago, that said that dogs do better in twos. I wonder if that is true for cats...I hope your other kittie doesn't get too lonely.
Get your shopping done and while you are out go to the health food store and buy some Olive Leaf for that cold, it really will help. See ya later.
I love you for your strength in dark times. I love you for your tender heart that breaks so easily. I love you because you are the one person through whom all the good things in my life have come.
I love you........(and your smokin' hot!)
*HUGS*
I hope you enjoy your time with your family. :)
Mourning is natural and i have to tell you, I don't care how it happens, losing a pet will never stop hurting. I think about my Nola every day. I can't believe how quickly you picked his things up. I still have some of Nola's things laying around, but I'm a big whimp!
I hope you're having a wonderful time with your company!! You deserve it.
I know my brothers like me, and at least one of them loves me, but none of them could ever tell me like Shane told you. You have a great support network.
Yep...I'm glad you have great people around you too...man, does that help!
It's funny, but little things like getting out there & getting a new coffee pot...helps you feel just the tiniest bit better, don't they?
Enjoy your company.
There is nothing one can really say that hasn't already been said. I know what you are going through. You may want to visit a website called "rainbow bridge. com" It helped me a little. Hopefully it will help you get through the pain.
