noticing 25 September 2009
There are things that have been around so long you don’t notice them and equally situations that are so normal they are never questioned, and when a change occurs it can take a while to cop to what’s occurred. And so it was that I realised earlier today that I have never been married when the G cat wasn’t around…I had been sharing life with her 7 years before I married Richard, 6 before we ever even got together. Geezee was always there for me and, therefore, then for us. So, if there were ever frosty words (there haven’t been too many, actually) I always had a little ally that still thought I was worth spending time with*, and so did Richard. Now it’s just the 2 of us and I am hoping we can get used to that!!
*there were (many, many) times over the 19 years when I knew she thought I was an utter eejit but she was prepared to put with that as she was a higher being who could rise above it all.
As to Himself helping greatly with the passing of the feline Beloved, well, he got me out of the house tonight to see a (very funny) group, though they are called Dead Cat Bounce…really…
And only one of my friends mentioned that he was not going to do pussy jokes – hadn’t even occurred to me that someone would, that’s how distracted I have been…and now MIGHTILY relieved that I have decent mates…
