Thank you

Thanks to everybody for the sympathy regarding my little fuzzball. I not only appreciate it, but I really needed it. I'm been finding my brain veering away from the subject whenever I try to think about it, so there's been a little detatchment on on my part that makes me feel like there may be something left for me to get through with this, but perhaps not. And typing this just made my brain tiptoe up to the subject again, and then back away, which is a very odd sensation.

The other two cats seem determined to thrust themselves upon us. I think they may have felt a little neglected throughout Dex's illness, but it's a comfort to have somebody insisting on snuggling you at all hours. Gracie is sitting here next to the keyboard, glaring at me for not scratching her ears. Bemo hates it when they lie on his mixing console, because they push the levers all out of position and push buttons that aren't supposed to be pushed, but I don't have the heart to shoo her away because she's purring so ardently.

At any rate, I have been distracting myself like crazy, which was easy given that this week was frantically busy at work. I've been reading Heyers because they're soothing. I just finished The Grand Sophy and The Nonesuch, two of my favorites, and have just picked up Lady of Quality. The last two are in tragic Bantam editions with really soppy covers - I'm glad that they're being rereleased in very elegant trade paperbacks right now.

I think this is the typewritten equivalent of babbling. I will now wander off and try not to distract myself via Ebay, which would be expensive.
