Global Cat Day was bittersweet for me. I love cats, but today was the first time in 35 years I don't have one in my house. My 19-yr-old man had to be put down yesterday due to his rapidly advancing kidney disease. I thought I was doing okay, but I'm physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted. I even managed to leave my phone behind twice today - once when I left school after volunteering all day (luckily, there were parent-teacher conferences and I could get back into the classroom) and again tonight I left it on my chair after music rehearsal. Once again, the church was still unlocked so I was able to retrieve it. Time for bed and hopefully deep, refreshing sleep to help heal my befuddled brain.
