There’s just over a week left in 2018. Change for the better is coming, I know it.
Cannot.
No spoons.
Here’s a picture of a cat.
We came home from dinner with Nan to find our youngest cat, Ariadne, dead in the middle of the floor. Her eyes were still open. The boys, Spock and Peanut seem to be fine. But now I’m terrified they’ll pass too.
I fell the hell apart. Full crying panic attack.
My father died two Tuesdays prior to today.

I’m kind of over December.
Have some pictures of our tiny kitten, Ariadne. May she Rest In Peace.
