I think they know I'm sad.
It’s been a few days, and I’m still so very sad. I see Misty in the corner of my eye. I expect to see her sacked out on the corner of my bed. It’s weird feeding just one cat. I haven’t had just one cat since 1995. Last week I took today and Tuesday off on a whim, really. I had no idea what was coming, but I’m really glad I did. With the exception of a meeting today at 9:30 I promised I’d go in for, it’s nice just hanging out and remembering.

Last night, my Misty-meow cat died at the age of 15.
My beautiful girl, 2007
You have to know this is going to be sad, right? If you can’t hack (and that’s cool, I don’t see movies with unhappy endings) come back in a few days for the return to happy blogging (I hope). Otherwise, click to continue.

(well, to date)
I received this at work.
What’s the best part?
- The subject line that’s definitely aimed to a female reader coupled with the VERY male-oriented message
- The misspelling: Upgarde. Maybe spammers would get better responses if they proofread.
- The last name Dill, as in pickle, which is fitting considering the message
- The html file which I didn’t open but am SURE was riddled with links to crap.
- The intriguing To address: Agency 025-154. I want to work there! I bet they have flexible weeks and Fridays off in the summer!
If I worked for Agency 025-154, I’d have to learn to have shifty eyes and politely demur when asked what I do for a living. Because the first rule of Agency 025-154 is, you don’t talk about Agency 025-154.

Remember when I was blogging my nightly dream so I could jump start this blog? It worked so well that I don’t even have room to discuss the dream anymore. But last night’s was a doozy.
I have a job on a farm1. It involves raking things and riding cows. So in this dream I ride a cow bareback around a racetrack. I could feel its bristly fur in my fingers and all I had to do to make it go faster was gently tap it with my ankles. That was one fast cow!
Once I was done, I went into my quarters and walked by displays of my jewelry2. There was smoke coming out from a sweatshirt. Turns out my iPhone was plugged into the wall and inside the sweatshirt3. I put the fire out and my tooth hurt4 so I went to the dentist.
Who was an ex-boyfriend of mine. He told me I looked better now than I did when I was younger and that I was the loveliest person he’s ever known and why did I come back into his life a week before he was getting married?5. Me: “Because my tooth hurts.” Then he proceeded to create a filling for my tooth with copper wire.
After the filling I went back to riding my cow.
1 Yesterday I was talking with a coworker about the local counties’ 4-H fairs.
2 I’m considering opening an Etsy shop.
3 My 3GS gets REALLY warm when it charges.
4 My teeth have been sensitive lately.
5 Obviously, my subconscious is my biggest fan.
