Gorgeous freight train of a thunder storm just barreled through. Both Mr Serenity and Mr Serenity watched it from the front porch, carefully positioned to avoid most of the blow in.
We seem to be adjusting to not having Kitty with us. We don't keep thinking we're supposed to be filling her bowl and we have stopped expecting her to jump up onto the bed. It's still hard when I first walk in the door, but it's only been ten days. I miss being able to talk to her, miss using all her nicknames (like "Baby Bear"). And I think she was actually still earning her keep just by scenting the place with her fur and by bothering the low spiders. We have more spiders than usual, even for the time of year, and Mr. Chippy has lots more bravado at the bird feeder. (She was an indoor cat, but he may not have wanted to test that possibility.) I sure hope we don't get mice this Winter.
Did I mention that Mah*Sweetie already had a dream about two kittens? I told him I'm going to start checking his pockets. 8-)
This past week has been interesting. Sad and gray internally. And yet. . . . Almost totally stress free. Which is a huge relief. I've lived with the stress for so long now, I was hardly aware of it, except for the health manifestations. Still sad, but glad I finally did what needed doing.
Yeah. It takes awhile to get to that point...to be ready, to be sure of it, to be willing. I'm very glad to hear the basic result if that you feel free of the stress. Take it slow and let yourself grieve and heal and move and live. ♥
Howard is First as the moon rises over his state's largest city.
ReplyDeleteI just posted a Firstie. I wonder if it will last or be eaten...as my last post on the last thread was!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're good to go, lol!
ReplyDeletepuddle says she can see three of my posts.
ReplyDeleteI can't see any by anyone!
Maybe tomorrow. Heh.
And just incase...Howard Dean is First.
ReplyDeleteWell, they disappeared. And now they're back. Such *bad* software.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful green cool day here. Lots to do!

ReplyDeleteSuch bad sosftware indeed! I currently see 8 posts. But will they last? Will they disappear and come back? Who knows?
ReplyDeleteI am totally clueless about blog software, but I can't help but wonder whether there isn't a better alternative.
Sounds like fun!!
ReplyDeleteI can see the posts again! Hurrah! So, I deleted the redundant one.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you all to know it was me and not the software. LOL

Hello. Does Echo still hate me?
ReplyDeleteApparently not, for now anyway. I kept trying to post on the last thread and Echo kept eating my comments. Bad Echo!
ReplyDeleteOkay! No more after-midnight late-posted threads!
ReplyDeleteI just set up new photos to post at midnight clean through October 1st. :-D
Yikes! That's what I call efficient!
ReplyDeleteFor weeks after Edwin got back from Ireland, he said he kept seeing Rudi ~~ in the hall, in corners, in the bedroom. Love hangs around, I think.
ReplyDeleteYou *could* just go looking for the kittens, lol! Bet they'd show up. . . .
Good feeling to get/be ahead, eh?

ReplyDeleteWe're trying to wait so we can travel freely over the holidays, and also because of the cost of having a pet in this economy.
ReplyDeleteIt's so different! LOL!
