Anniversaries
Three days ago, it marked one year since our cat died from injuries likely caused by a dog attack. In some ways it seems a long time ago then it doesn’t seem so long ago. There are still the occasions when I return home and expect to see her lazily walking down the driveway, making me wait to pull the car in. :) I changed my Facebook picture to one with her in it last year but I think I will soon change to something new since it’s already been over a year.
Today would have been my close friend’s birthday if she were alive. This is my local close friend who died four and a half years ago from bowel cancer. She should be 54 now. She is still on my mind a lot of the time but so it’s kind of weird to think it’s been so long since we talked now.

Sick house
A cold virus has been making the rounds of our house the past week or so. It seems to have started with Game Fanatic, passed to Lego Lover, the Scientist and I have been trying to ward it off for a couple days now. I’ve been slightly successful since I have yet to reach the sneezy, blocked nose stage that the others went through already. So far it’s been mostly tiredness, achiness and a sore throat for me.
I had to go out this morning to get the cat in to the vet for a check up and vaccinations. She was well overdue and we need to leave her in a cattery when we go off on our holiday a couple weeks. So this was a good motivator. That outing went pretty well and the cat doesn’t seem to be nearly as traumatised as I expected.
I returned home with the cat and soon was back out to pick up a few groceries that I had promised to buy earlier. That outing left me really tired. Once I had returned home and eaten lunch, I settled in to bed for the afternoon and finished a book.
