Hello again...

I'm sorry I have been incommunicado lately. I haven't been compelled to write much since Nestor's passing, but we got something recently that has helped ease the pain a little.

Introducing Biscuit!

Isn't she pretty? Joel and I are quite smitten with her. I still miss Nestor and she will never be replaced, but our house felt kind of empty without a sweet, furry kitty running around. Now we are starting to feel a little normal again. I promise not to make this blog all about kitties, but you probably will see more pictures of our little Biscuit. I felt like Annie Leibovitz last night when I was taking photos. I was on the ground, on my back, almost upside down. I was really working for these shots, let me tell you!

I do want to thank all of you for your kinds words and cards and flowers. I know Nestor touched alot of people and I love that you all loved her. I'll be back with new posts about happy things soon! In the meantime, here is one last photo of Nestor for you to enjoy.

Crushed.

My precious Nestor died today. It looks so strange...that sentence. I'm in shock and will update you on the details later. I miss my sweet kitty so much.

I feel stimulated!

I got my stimulus check today and I must say, it feels good to get $600 in the mail that I wasn't necessarily expecting. I was thinking though...how many of us, as Americans, would have been willing to forfeit our stimulus checks in order to end the war? Not that one really has anything to do with the other, but I'm just supposing. I know I would have. I mean, I'm happy to spend the money decorating my new apartment and all, but I would be happier knowing that all of those soldiers could come home to their friends and family.

But since talking politics is B-O-R-I-N-G, look at this kitty...
