My sweet little Dolly died yesterday while I was at work. I knew she was close to death when I left and I so badly wished I could stay home and be with her at the end. I was certain she would die while I was gone. From the day I first felt the lump on her head a couple days before Christmas, I had a strong suspicion it was cancer. And I had a dreadful feeling that I had maybe 6 weeks left with her before she died. I don’t know what made me think that, but I did. As it turns out, she didn’t even last that long. She only lasted 3 weeks. The day I took her to the vet, she weighed around 4 and a half pounds. I weighed her body tonight and she was down to 3.4 pounds. Granted, she was a tiny cat, but her healthy weight was around 7 pounds. I can take some comfort knowing she is no longer in pain, but it’s been hard for me all week seeing her going downhill and seeing that lump on her head continue to get larger. That was quite an aggressive cancer she had! Now she’s gone and while she’s at peace, I’m still in agony over her loss. From the first moment I discovered her in my garage 11 years ago, she had my heart. Now she’s left footprints on my heart and I’ll miss her a lot. I already miss her. RIP sweet little Dolly.

Sometimes doing nothing is the best thing to do. It’s nice to see Bluebell hanging out with Oliver. On another note, saw some towhees while out walking today. Also saw a hummingbird, believe it or not. You wouldn’t expect to see a hummingbird in the winter, among the snow and ice, but there one was, buzzing about. I hope it’s okay.

It’s snowing here in my neck of the woods, how are my fellow PNW-ers doing? Really hope it stops soon as the locals are bad at driving in it :(

Nothing in Seattle now.
Wish I had a friend like Bluebell to help me do nothin’.

Nothing is my new favorite thing to do.
After packing what seemed like a 30 room house, it’s nice to sit and look at Pinterest all afternoon.

I wish I had more time to do nothing. And I wouldn’t even ask anyone to help me.

Today is:
National Rubber Ducky Day.
National Clean off Your Desk Day. Not a bad idea. I have a bit of clutter on my desk right now which I could do without.
National Sticker Day
National Peach Melba Day. Odd time for that – peaches aren’t in season. At least not here they’re not.
Korean American Day
Stephan Foster Memorial Day

(aka LadyKat) It’s nice to have someone to sit down next to you to do nothing with you.

I had to go to town today. Otherwise, that is my plan for the rest of the day.
My neck has been stiff for about a week now, so after i got home i took a muscle relaxer and i’m going to nap a bit.
Nothing, with my dog and cat, for the rest of the day.
