Fist Christmas without you Medhia – it’s harder than I thought

I made the mistake of looking at pictures of you today.

First, you were so beautiful. I can’t believe how healthy you were less than 20 days ago. You really got sick fast.

Second, Christmas isn’t the same without you. I bet Tigger really misses you. She is all alone, please go and vist her while I’m away. You know how she needs people around her.

Well, that was creepy. Just as I wrote the sentence above my doorbell went off. It turned out it was only lights activating the motion sensor.

No coincidences.

I want to hold you and have you lick my face and head all over while I rub your whiskers and scratch your temples. The way you closed your eyes and stretched your neck out always showed me just how much you enjoyed that. It was adorable.

Wow, I want to ball my eyes out ever since I looked at your pictures. It was too soon. I’m just thankful that you don’t seem sick in any of them.

You have your big black eyes, but you have had those long before your kidney disease. I suspect licking the finish off any wood in my house and eating soap scum had something to do with that. You were a crazy crazy cat. I miss you Medhia. Soon you will be home again.

There has been one more disappointment today; I can’t connect to my server. My phone does but extremely slowly and only about 1/4 of the time. I don’t know what happened. Last time I travelled it worked.

A few days ago it worked because my cousin logged in. He told me he couldn’t connect today either. It’s possible the software update changed some settings. It has happened before.

Today was an okay day. I took a bunch of pictures and found some more backyard pictures I shot the other day. There are some great shots in there.

Perhaps I’ll go back to playing trumpet in 2018. I sort of miss it.

I wrote an entry this morning while I was travelling, but with the technical troubles it won’t sync, so I’ll post it when I get home or can synchronize the note station.

It just felt like another day today. It was healthy for me to get away for a few days, but I’m not enjoying it.

I was shocked at how much time both my mom and her husband spend on their various devices. They’re as bad as some kids.

I’m going to go watch something and try to focus on positive things. I want Medhia to come back home, alive and in person.
