EnregistrerMy rather short stack is over at Reading Reality, along with an equally brief report on just how far this week has gone down the tubes.

We are moving this weekend, quite possibly as you read this. And that's disruptive enough.

But on Thursday we lost our Clown Princess, 17 1/2 year old Mellie-cat. We've had her since the day she was born, and we are heartbroken. We miss her, and so does Freddie-cat, who is very confused about where his Aunty-Mellie has gone and why she isn't there to order him around. She'll be missed.

Everyone has things they do to deal with grief and stress. I read. It helps me slip away just a bit, for just a little while. When I come back to reality, whatever is wrong is just a bit further away. I got a couple of really good books this week to help with that.


Beast (Galactic Gladiators #7) by Anna Hackett

    So sorry to hear about your cat. Good luck with moving, I know how stressful each of those can be. I can't image them at the same time.

    That is so sad, truly sorry about your loss. But 17 and a half is a great age for a cat. I'm happy that she could share all these years with your family.
