One of the fun things about Alex finding the charger to his old camera is we discovered a bunch of old photos were on it. There were photos of the kids on one of the Halloweens I had to miss because I was working graveyard and they wouldn’t let me come in late so I could take the kids trick or treating before work. When I think of all the plays my kids were in and other activities I missed out on because of that job I feel very sad. And pissed off too. The two emotions are so close in my mind that I often get them mixed up. Anyway, here are our cats from the top step down. Hazel, Azmuria (she died last year) Fargo, and Alistair at the bottom. Alex captured this moment because they are rarely this close without fighting. I am actually more of a dog person so how I ended up having so many cats is beyond me. Oh yeah, Alex loves them.

I haven’t forgotten Jane’s question about the end of my friendship. I am still trying to figure out how to put it into words without rambling on for ten pages.
