My Heart Aches

January 26th 2012 21:00



I feel numb inside. I miss my boys so much. I think about them all the time, wishing I could bury my face in their fur and inhale their tuna scent. I wish I could touch them again and feel their paws on me and be able to sniff their fishy breath. How long will these feelings last?


In a way, it would have been easier if they had died; at least there would be some closure. But knowing they’re alive and living at an unknown location with an unknown woman…I try to console myself by telling myself at leas they’ve gone to a good home and hopefully their new parent can give them better care than Brett did but still, it hurts not being able to see them again.

I need to get closure but I don’t know how. I’m going to have to ask my psychologist friend for advice.

I Feel Awful

January 24th 2012 21:00




As Edith moaned in Picnic at Hanging Rock, I feel awful. Perfectly awful.

When I told Fred I still hadn’t heard from Anastasia, he seemed to think I should just let the matter rest.

“She might think you offering to pay her for photos of the cats is weird,” he said.

Great. “But what about those ads you see in the paper when someone is trying to obtain something and offers to pay costs? What I meant by my text message was that I wouldn’t expect her to send me photos for nothing.”

“That’s offering to pay costs, not for the actual item itself,” said Fred. “While she might not think you are a stalker, if you text her again, she might.”

I haven’t felt this paranoid in ages.

“Maybe I could wait until I speak to Brett first. After all, she asked me to pass a message onto him.”

“He doesn’t need to be reminded that he owes her money. I wouldn’t even bother. After all, she hasn’t said yay or nay as to whether she’s going to keep your details on file in case the cats need to be rehomed so why should you do her any favours?”

I didn’t tell Fred this but Anastasia represents my last and only link to the boys. I want to keep her on side so that I can get updates from time to time on how my husband and his best friend are doing.

Leave me Alone (Revisited)

January 23rd 2012 21:02


Anyone who knows me knows while I am big on animals, the same does not apply to humans. It’s not that I’m anti-social; I just want to be left alone.

The Mystery of the Exploding Whale

January 19th 2012 21:00


Just before Christmas, I had just come home after attending my office Xmas party. I sat down to read the paper and noticed the TV guide mentioned a program called Natural Mysteries. With a title like that, it sounded like In Search of… or William Shatner’s Weird or What? I raced over to the TV.

Winners and Losers

January 18th 2012 21:00


How dopey is this? I saw some coins in a water fountain. Since there wasn’t many people around, I decided to go for a wade. I ended up picking up twenty cents. I also noticed the bottom of my handbag was wet but thought nothing of it; after all, it was a leather bag and it was waterproof to a certain degree.
