Happy St. Patrick's Day!






In other news, thank you to everyone who took the time to say such nice things on the posts Monday and Tuesday about Kush. It's really comforting to know that there are so many animal lovers and those who understand the importance our animal companions in our lives and just how much they really enrich us.

I'm doing ok. Had a hard time sleeping last night, but honestly, I had a harder time in the days leading up to the 16th then I did on the day itself. The dread of knowing it was coming was worse. Mika made sure to give me lots of extra attention - climbling all over me like she's prone to do and purring away - so that helped. Plus, she's just so damned cute I can't help but smile when I see her. I'm really happy I brought her home last year. She's really helped me by being such a goof; her silliness always makes me grin. I am worried about next month when it officially turns a year from the loss of Kush and a year of having Mika. Two very emotional days, but in such opposition to each other. Oh well, I'm trying not to think about forthcoming sadness and instead, get through the inbetween days.

I'm hoping this weekend is more adventurous then the last because my Love gets paid on Friday. (finally! Ugh, these two week stretches of being dead broke are HARD! I need a part time job so badly if for nothing else then a little cushion room for bills and living expensives!) I think we're planning on heading to the Renn Faire - finally! This is it's 3rd weekend out of 7 weekends and we normally go a few times a season - and possibly (pending time, energy and money) WDW again. It's been about a month now since we've gone and after getting teased about going last weekend, I'm really eager to get back. I just love the place, I really do. It just makes me feel good to get away like that and have fun and be silly and just spend time someplace you're encouraged to be a kid with someone you love. I really miss it when we don't go. *chuckles* Let's also not forget there's going to be - FINALLY! - a pin of Squirt! (The cute little bably turtle from Finding Nemo.) Previous to this, there were all kinds of Finding Nemo pins - even one featuring some of the supporting "cast" from the film. But none with the turtles! Guess I wasn't the only one who noticed the oversight, because Squirt (and his dad, Crush) are being released this weekend.


isn't he a cutie?

And yes, I am pin-happy. So what? *laughs* They're small and cute and look great on my backpack.

Alrighty well I think I've babbled enough. Few things to do and catch up on - wasn't really online most of yesterday; tried to keep busy with hands-on, crafty type projects. Thank you again to everyone and take care.
