Thoughts on the Death of Merlin

It's 6:21
I think I only got MAYBE 5 1/2 hours or sleep last night.
Something tells me I'm going to have a short workout and go home, exhausted, and try to nap.

To all my friends who replied to my post last night, I thank you.

I would like to believe in the Rainbow Bridge. Maybe little merlin did wake up somewhere surrounded by little kids to love him and other baby animals to scamper with. I think he'd love that...wish I could see it. Especially as he tried to pounce their tails or scamper around happily.
I wish I could see a little more of it for myself now.

In an exhaustion-prone state I had an epitome: Litltle Merlin, white as snow, was an angel (I'm not going to bicker here on the definition of what I mean by an angel. It doesn't matter!). For three weeks he was in our lives and brought happiness and joy and love and youth and vitality. He wasn't perfect... he was mischievious and naughty as all kittens are wont to do, but he never got into any REAL trouble... his biggest mischief was pouncing toes and fingers at 3AM and purring happily when we woke up so that we'd pet him.
I would still have prefered it have been longer, but I thank Merlin whererver he is for having brought so much joy into our lives.

In any case, I still have four more fuzzy bundle of joys who need me. (And whom I need, atm, also). In the end, I think that's what helped me get over the death of my dog Sir Lancelot 3 years back.. because cleo and smokey were cute and fuzzy and it was hard to mourn his loss as they cuddled up next to me and purred or went around doing their kitten antics.

Other things going on not related to Merlin

Well.. there are other things going on in my life that I'll write about that have nothing to do with Merlin, so I'll write about them. This'll probably be a short post.

Firstly, my friend Dave stopped by yesterday to chat quickly. We're going to try to go see "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" on OPENING DAY (that is... Friday). The deal will be... I go pick the tickets up before 6:00 for a late show for my family, Dave and myself.. then we go and enjoy what looks to be an extraordinarily COOL movie!

The Sims: Hot Date should arrive at Babbage's today or tommorow.. and I've preordered, so I'm waiting for that call so I can pick it up and play :) (I need SOMETHING to keep my mind off things)

I met a new diet buddy last night on Phat Chat... I can't say as I remember her handle, but she might be emailing me soon to tell me about her first day exercising and what she accomplished.
I find it kinda amusing that people are asking me MY advice on dieting and exercise.. but then, I do kinda understand why... I mean 30 lb. loss in 10 or 11 weeks is pretty successful!

What else? Oh.. gotta meeting at 4:00 (after what looks like an interesting lecture in water quality modelling in a lake in Israel) for a pre-meeting meeting for UBEESC. Pre-meeting meeting? What I mean is.. we're hoping to have an ACTUAL UBEESC meeting next Friday.. but we want a meeting to make sure we know what we'll talk about today.. at 4. Got it? Good :)

That's all I can think of. Talk to y'all latahz.
