J Bear

It's kind of been a rough week so far.  Work has been really busy this week which means I come home exhausted.  My back and ribs are increasingly becoming more uncomfortable, especially after a long day at work. I love baby class on Monday's but I hate rushing from the office, running home to let the dog out for literally 5 minutes (poor Roxy hates Monday's!) and scarfing down a sandwich to make it to class on time.

I came home from work yesterday just beat.  Cody asked what I wanted to do for dinner and I told him absolutely nothing, he was on his own.  I said, "I am not hungry and the minute I lay down on this couch, I am pretty sure your not going to be able to get me up for anything." I was right.  I plopped on the couch and didn't get up again until 8:30pm...thats when I headed straight for bed.

My Mom also called this week with horrible news, Jackson had unexpectedly passed away.  He was my cat in college.  I got him as a kitten the summer going into my Junior year.  He was a traveling cat and went everywhere with me.  I used to be able to tap on his carrier and he would run right in it.  If I went away for a weekend and he couldn't come with me, he got to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  He loved going to my Mom's house because he got to run around outside, climb trees, catch birds and mice, etc. It became apparent to me that he did much better at my parents house than he did locked up in my apartment.  So, when I moved to Portland, he stayed with my Mom and Dad.  It was really hard for me to leave him but he lived a great life with them.  RIP J Bear, I love you.
