Missing Komet and other stuff

[chochiyo_sama]

Everywhere I look I see empty spots where a fuzzy gray and white kitty should be.  Grandma's tattered old rocker recliner should have a Komet enthusiastically "sharpening her (non-existant) claws" on the foot rest or spraddled over the arm, legs hanging over each side and her head dangling off the end, snoozing.

It's a lonely trek to the bathroom now in the middle of the night.  No one rushes in ahead of me and stands in front of the toilet to test my ability NOT pee all over the place.

No one races ahead of me on the stairs to stop and turn around and look back at me and make little questioning noises and irritate the hell out of me by not moving up when I am carrying big bakets of clothes.

No one plops on the clothes I have laid out for tomorrow, making a warm little indentation in them and leaving a bunch of shed hair to let me know that she was there.

No one snuggles against me in the night. 

The q-tips are rioting unhindered through the house with no one to keep them under control.

I miss my little girl.  I miss her.  I miss her.


In other news...I had no idea that Majel Barrett (Roddenberry) had died.  One more gone from the Star Trek family that was one of the largest influences on my life when I was young.  I really must write my book:  "Everything I Need to Know I Learnt from Watching Star Trek."   

I read that her ashes were sent into space along with her husband's.  James Doohan (Scotty) had his ashes sent into space quite a while ago.  I don't know if DeForrest Kelly ("Bones") had his ashes rocketed into space or not. 

It will be a sad, sad day when old William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy leaves this life.  I will probably cry over both of them. 







Rest in Peace, Majel--icon of my childhood.

You may hold and pet my cats in the afterlife if you want.

I would write about the rest of my day, but I'm too tired and nothing too noteworthy happened anyhow.  Mostly I was just sad. 

I started to cry in Senior Sem because the Byron vet called and started asking me questions about how Komet died.  The kids were very sweet to me.  They have big and loving hearts, my sweet babies.

William Shatner is a favorite among my generation too-- because of his music.

"You're Gonna Die" and "Common People"-- so many Crazytown dance parties.

after my box turtle was stolen (long story; she lived in a pen in my backyard) i kept seeing her around the house. i remember thinking a pile of brown pantyhose was her sitting on my bed. it sucks.

star trek is a very very bad thing. my dad is a trekkie and because of this i grew up referring to the tv remote as a phaser. i wish i was joking.

What I miss.

I miss Caesar's smell. And the way he would sigh. He'd just breath in and then breath out really loud. Not a snort, though. Ramses has a sigh, but it's different. He vocalizes. And he has no scent at all.

I read about Majel. I had no idea they were saving Gene's ashes so they could both go together. It's so romantic.

Yes, it will be sad when Leonard and Bill go. But so far they both seem very healthy. My Mom is very disappointed that Boston Legal is canceled as she loved Denny Crane.
