Our cat, Sassy, died yesterday. She was a beautiful cat with long, silky fur the color of a flame and unusual green eyes. Her absence is felt by me and I grieve her loss but I feel sorrier for mom. She’s had a pet for every one of her 86 years and she is struggling right now. We have no more pets with no plans to get any.

I had a good time at the drum circle if I hadn’t already said that. This month has been kind of blah for me and with the exception of my daughter, I would happily skip the holidays. As it is, we are having it over here so I have much work to do. I don’t think anything could get me in the holiday spirit at this point. I just want it over with.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.
