And now, my cat has died.

This is a really difficult thing to say without coming off as horribly self-pitying and completely lacking perspective.

But I have been having a really tough time of it lately. I can’t seem to catch a break.

I’ve been through much worse, and I’m sure much worse will come back to visit again before I even have time to miss it. (Much Worse? Stay where you are. I don’t miss you yet.)

And I know oodles of people are much worse off than I am right now.

But I can’t help feeling pretty beat down. Hurricane. No electricity. Serious money issues. Car accident. Holidays approaching. And now, Miss Budina.

I’m not going to dwell on it, because I think that’s the type of thing that makes Much Worse think I’m sending out some sort of engraved misery loves company type of invitation, and I very much am not.

All I’m saying is, I know I’ve been a downer lately, but that’s because Life has been cramming downers down my throat left and right, like so many Valiums. It won’t last. I’ll move on.

Well, first I’ll indulge myself one entry linking The Best of Miss Budina, when my work schedule allows me to sip on some whiskey while I put it together.

THEN, I will move on.

Miss Budina would have wanted it that way.
