Silent

I had some fascinating nightmares, but I did feel as though I slept decently. I woke up with several muscles in my back and legs screaming in agony. I want nothing more than to curl up with a friend and be held. I will be able to do that tonight, when my husband comes home from Bear, Delaware (I had no idea there was a city named Bear in Delaware).

I am feeling particularly hormonal, obviously, since menses start tomorrow. The panic and paranoia do not surprise me.

I have not been smiling or laughing as much as I usually do. I feel somewhat empty and pointless.

Rose has been greeting me every morning with a long, strong series of mews, chirps, and trills, enthusiastically rubbing the sides of her face against my hands, head, and legs. I love my kitten so very much.
