Oddly enough, the weather was exactly the same as it had been last year: cloudy and depressing....until around 4:45pm, when the clouds finally let the sun show through and shine down on the world. I don't know if the weather necessarily mimics itself year after year on each day, but I found that to be oddly interesting.
It has been different without Chou here. And I still miss him so. My brother asked me if I was ready for a new cat yet. The answer: not quite. While I miss my precious jungle cat, and I know my girls would love to have a pet cat, I just can't do it yet. I don't have the energy for taking care of another cat. I don't think I have the mindset to take care of another cat yet. While I wouldn't necessarily want a kitten, I also wouldn't necessarily want an older cat either. If I got a kitten, I'd have to train it to not destroy the house. An older cat would be calmer, but knowing that kidney failure is what takes cats blessed to live to a ripe old age, that's just something I don't want to go through again.
Another thing is the freedom that not having a cat gives: we can actually go places and not have to make arrangements for cat-sitting. After 20 years, I'd like to take advantage of that freedom for a bit.
So life goes on, and we'll see what the next year holds in store for us.
