Weekend Update
The Outlaws have been visiting. It was Maxine's birthday on Sunday, so her husband had an excellent idea: Take her hot-air ballooning! It was great! It was gorgeous! It was beautiful. It was fucking early. We met @ Oswego Hills Vineyard @ 5:30am (fancy-schmancy website) and took off just after dawn. Pics are here. After about an hour's ride we settled down in a farmer's field ("Hey! Do you mind if we land our balloon in your field?" "Thanks!") and retired to the winery for a champagne brunch with smoked salmon (mine's better) and brie and little quiches and grapes and crackers and bees.
Loverly.

Basket Case
What a basket case I feel like, today. I miss my cat.

Goodbye Zonker
This is it. Today is the day I have to put my cat to sleep. (Just typing this is going to make me cry! And I'm at work! Aaiighgh!)
Love hurts.

How's Leslie Been?
It turns out that she's got a herniated disc in her back. We're going to see a neurosurgeon about it next week, but she's slowly getting better. So my expectation is to continue exercising it lightly and applying ice to it, and over the course of months it will improve. >Sigh...<
Her Dad is visiting us this week, whom she is glad to have. Her mom will arrive next week, she's on board the American Orient Express with her sister, traveling from Salt Lake City (hereafter referred to as SL.UT) up into Montana and then West to Seattle. Apparently having a blast.

:-(
Zonker has had a rapidly growing tumor on his neck for about a month, and this can't go on much longer. It's starting to impair his breathing and swallowing and purring. His purr changed deeper and growlier first, and now his meow is going, too. He's still active and otherwise happy, but he can't go on much longer like this. I can't let him go on like this much longer.
He's been my friend and roommate for more than 10 yrs, now, and I'm grief-stricken to have to say goodbye.

Beginning Anew?
I don't know what's been so difficult about posting to my blog, but it has been a long time since you've heard from me! Beginning now (!), I'll be updating regularly, again. Really.
