Rough Week

The last week has been pretty tough on us as a family. We knew that the end was coming soon for our kitty Ashes, but it came too fast. We had to put her down on Thursday morning and it has hit us all in different ways, but to be expected. It took me a long time to win over the heart of this kitty, she and I hissed at each other for almost a year before I was accepted. After that though, she spent a lot of her time snuggled up over one of my shoulders or on my lap at night. It's still weird not to find her waiting for me each night. She helped me get through the days when I was stuck at the house alone, always sending out a meow to show that she was still there and she was also seeking to see if anyone else was around. We found a spot just outside the house to bury her so we will always know where she is.
On top of the hard week, it was pager week for me so we couldn't really go any place over the weekend. I finished a second book in two weeks, first I finished Angels and Demons, then I finished The Davinci Code. Both books are written by Dan Brown. Always fun to read a controversial book but the links between Paganism and Christianity really come forward in these two books. Even if you are devout to the Christian part, I think that they make a good read for the mystery and travel to some of the places they go to. I need to choose my next book. I have another Dan Brown book, but I think I may go back and finish Eragon before the movie comes out in December. Morgan's Harry Potter Club is renting a theater for us to go and see it. It's another long one and the family gets concerned when I get lost in my books, I guess it's an uncommon thing. Different for me because it's a good fiction book instead of a technical manual. A good escape nevertheless...
