I can’t help it! A cat… dying! Perhaps NASA has redeemed itself in my eyes. It was worth all $8 gazillion!
Well, buy me a litter box and call me a cat!
I sit here and I wait. I am in plain sight, but invisible nonetheless. People pass by me every day, people I know, people I love, people who like me… at least I think they like me.
I haven’t had a best friend since I was 16. I’ve never had a ladies night out. I told my neighbor (and now my BFF4EVS) this a few weeks ago, so she graciously took me under her wing and insisted that we go out last night.
