Today, we've been married 24 years.  It's absurd to think of anything in my life being that old other than me.

Two years ago, Mumu passed.  I am still in tears over that cat, which is so odd. My kids and husband get it, but I know my parents would not. They would assume I'm over emotional.  We were so close and she was truly my best friend.  We got each other.  She knew when I was feeling shitty and would be so gentle with  me. I need to go find another animal, but that whole process seems like more than I can handle like somehow I'd be betraying my relationship with her a tiny bit.  I don't think the love in my heart is finite and I know Isabel thinks I'm pretty lovely. I even know Mumu would wish me happiness, and that makes me sad, too. I'm stunned at how much I am grieving that sweet cat.

It's the last solar eclipse today for the next 75 years in the US.  We went out with our silly glasses and observed it.  We only got a 65% viewing, and the solar panels noticed no difference, however, it was fun.  Genny, Mike and I are such nerds. I love that.
