Aright guys, I know I've been absent for quite a while here and I'm really sorry. There was a lot of taking care of our oldest cat before she went out and having the loss of both her and our dog in such a short period of time...has really hurt me.

We lost our cat about a week ago. She was our oldest living pet and it stung just as bad as when we lost our dog. Two pets in a month's time. It just...hurts a lot.

Between that time and now, I've been doing a lot of thinking too. About where I want to go from here when it comes to getting caught up on all my owed work and all that. I'll put all that in another journal to keep it from getting clogged up.

Again, I'm really sorry for my absence here. I'm going to try to be more on top of things. I really appreciate your guys' patience with me during this time.
