Back from first Second Tuesday of the yr I&#8217;ve been able to attend and I come home to find that my bestest littlee laptop pal, my Buddy Bear has been killed by a car, a mile from our house. All gates closed; lightning, thunder and rain and somehow he did what he\u2019s never done beefore and now he\u2019s gone. Judy broke down and cried and cried when I met her at the vet. Serena\u2019s new doggy got killed by a coyote on new years day so there\u2019s grief to spread around. Shit shit shit.<br \/>\nUpset stomach; haven\u2019t taken my pills, Jasper wants to play ball, computer\u2019s on the fritz, I\u2019m broke, Judy\u2019s broke, no prospects. Have some workshop distractions that need doing; sort of a blessing I suppose.<br \/>\nHe was such a good boy: no faults at all. We expected Nani or Maple or Shadow would be the next to go; it\u2019s never the one you think it will be. No fair; no fair at all. No more Second Tuesdays; it&#8217;s too far and I\u2019m not leaving the nest for long, for a long time.<br \/>\nJudy\u2019s got a real broken heart; so do I but as usual the tears are gone. Like Conan I\u2019ve got to have someone else shed my tears it seems. No rain now of course. Shit.<br \/>\nPosted news to twitter and  faceebook then signed off. Escaping into familiar: solitaire and music on TV. Cluttered mind, empty life. Penance goes on forever..<br \/>\nAnimated sacks of meat; I look forward to senility.<br \/>\nFeel like I\u2019m circling the drain again. Outlived my dad: that\u2019s a little weird but then he was a hard drinker with a bad temper. Guess I may have another ten yrs but it might be ten minutes. Certainty is an evil thing but I\u2019m fairly certain the universe is godless. Unfortunate it\u2019s not kookless as well.<br \/>\nLittle guy lived his whole life with separation anxiety; to die fast a good thing but in fear: very bad thing. He didn\u2019t deserve that.<br \/>\nI\u2019m learning to covet oblivion: brain sez not a good thing but the temptation grows..<br \/>\nCan\u2019t even win at solitaire tonight.<br \/>\nWednesday, January 13, 2010, 11:24 AM<br \/>\n\tBad night: bad dreams. Snuggled with Jasper and held hands with J most of night. Judy\u2019s really taking it hard. He was my consolation when Melanie died and now he\u2019s gone too.<br \/>\n\tEach doggy death takes a big chunk of happiness with it; I\u2019m just afraid that when they\u2019re all gone we\u2019ll be totally miserable and permanently unhappy. This isn\u2019t a job for the faint of heart and there we are, right in the crosshairs. As Judy says we need a  smaller amount to be attached to. I need to stop falling so in love with \u2018em that we don\u2019t stop finding homes for the adoptable ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 12:11 AM Problem with living in a godless universe is there\u2019s nobody to pray to, to wish for a year without calamity.
