can't believe I haven't blogged in almost 2 years, so much has happened....
As I begin this new year sans cats. Sweet Pea died during my stay at my parents when I dislocated my hip in 2013, Rascal died yesterday; she waited for me to get to Lakeland to my parents house where she and my porkie yorkie were staying during my short work week. The Tuesday before Christmas she attempted to jump back onto my bed and missed her footing injuring her back legs, the bathtub became her playpen. At the age of 15 she mostly slept so it was no big deal to her. There were several moments from Christmas until last Sunday that I thought she was done but she held on. My mother greeted me at the front door; telling me how Rascal was the first one in the kitchen for breakfast that morning and she ate a big meal. I found her bright and mewing for me, I sat down with her and she talked to me, I gave her her favorite soft treats, she ate one or two and I looked away. Her little body went limp and soon she was gone. She waited for me to say good bye. My two girls are buried just beyond the bedroom window near a Plumeria tree...don't know if I'll be able to sleep without her purring in my ear...
I started a new job on December 8th in the private sector. Nice people and much better pay than the state of Florida...can't wait for the time change so I can get all my steps in.
Resolved to do so many things, I'll let you know if I succeed.
