More crying followed with the death of my 14 year old cat Christiebelle. 1 week ago

I woke up and was in the kitchen when I heard her gasping for breath. It was then I realized that chances were pretty good she was going to die that day. I held her for a while cuddling her, then she crawled into the bathroom to gasp. I follwed her and pet her, talking to her while it all was going on. My mom took over for short breaks when I was close to coming undone. Three hours later, after I assured her that we loved her, and would always, and that it was ok for her to go to that place full of treats like tuna, bacon, fast food(yes she was a french fry addict) and other goodies, she finally let go. I held her in my arms crying all the while as my mom hunted for a box to bury her in. She’s out by the orchid tree stump with Little Man, my guinea pig who died last January. I cried for 3 to 4 hours. Grief is a horrible draining being.

Still hunting for a job, have had two interviews, both seemed to go well. Haven’t heard anything. Going up to Alabama to spend some time with brothers family and pick up nieces in Atlanta, GA to spend time all together. This is the month we have them and it will be a multitude of excitement. I am also proud first place winner of the Women’s Racquetball League Tournament and championship winner. Definitely a high!

Life is full of ups and downs. Just trying to survive those downs currently.
