Moving on..... [View all]

[Are_grits_groceries]

I haven't posted because I didn't want to be a continual downer.

It is painful without Mousie. Scat keeps looking for her. She will periodically walk around the apartment meowing for her. She comes back looking puzzled. I don't meow but I think I do that too without realizing it.

It's weird without her because we were like three planets who had settled in familiar orbits around each other. Now that Mousie's gone, the orbits are out of whack. We had developed many patterns that I wasn't aware of until she passed.

I was not the sun in this arrangement. I may have been the biggest with more responsibilities, but Mousie and Scat each had qualities that had just as much pull. The love and constant company were as important as anything I did if not more.

I have not had roommates so we were the 3 amigos for 17 years. We are still the 3 amigos in many ways.

I will add 2 tiny amigos at some point. Scat and I will know when and who at the right time.

Until then.......
