Slowly returning

Hi.

Thank you so much to everyone who sent me notes or comments of condolences to Kali's passing. It really means a lot and is comforting to know that people really do "get" what it is like to lose a pet. I miss her and still think about her everyday. It's only been 2 weeks and only now does it feel like my family and I are coming out of the tunnel.

The other night I started packing up all of her things that were in my apartment. I've decided to keep her bowl and leash. When I picked up her bed, a rawhide bone fell out. I laughed and then cried at the same time b/c that was typical Kali, always hiding things! Who knows how long it had been there! I packed up her toys and food, some of which Col's adorable Rufus will benefit from and the rest, along with the things my parents also packed up, were donated to the local pet shelter/humane society. When I pulled up to the shelter the other day to drop off the food and assorted things, it made me emotional again b/c it was really saying goodbye to her, but yet happy b/c I know that her things will help other dogs who have yet to find a home. 

I have been on quite a hiatus from blogging. I just haven't found the words to put it all down. I have also (if it's believable) didn't know if what I have been thinking was ready for me to put out there. I've been really pensive. I also just got back from a week long trip out to SF for work (and fun) and it really feels like I've been gone for a month, rather than just a week. I had some time to think, relax and catch up with old friends. As usual, my time with some friends always forces me to think differently and for that I am grateful. 

Spring is here and the weather is starting to get milder and milder, which means it's the perfect time to get out there and DO SOMETHING (that damn Britney Spears song just popped into my head, of course, I think she says it more like, "DO SUMTHIN"....oh, Britney....). 

So, if you are still out there and reading and interested, I'm slowly returning from the MIA hiatus and hope to find the words and time to start blogging more regularly again. Besides, there are so many things that I encounter and experience on a daily basis that are random, funny and strange that I want to record for my own amusement.

More soon....I promise.
