Just a sad day. I worked all day yesterday to try not to think about loss, but trying to avoid grieving is foolish– it all spills out of you like a water peeking out over the edge of a dam. The thing that made me lose it today– steam-cleaning the carpets. Ladybug wanted me to vacuum, and all I could think about was that it was Miss Kitty’s fur that we’d be cleaning up. It’s hair rubbed into a carpet, something completely insignificant. But for a moment this afternoon, I couldn’t bear to let it go.
