Zypo is gone.

Zypo died yesterday. My mom sent me an e-mail this morning...I just got it. I think she's as upset as I am. This is her e-mail in its entirety, minus e-mail addresses:

Dear Amy & Alex,

Daddy took Zypo to the vet yesterday afternoon and then buried him in the backyard. I'm sorry that we didn't have a happy ending.

Love and tears,
Mom

I know she was crying when she wrote that. I'm crying now--but I don't see that there was any other way out of the situation, unfortunately. I'll miss my cat, but I know he's in a better place now (hopefully, with people he can get along with...or maybe in a big house with bad people to bully). I'm going to be depressed for a while, which is a bummer, because our friend Jason is coming to visit this weekend, and I'm going to be weepy. Dammit.

Just so my local friends know--please do not call me about this. Leave comments here or e-mail me. I don't feel like crying on the phone. *hugs everybody* Thanks.

Have to go cry now. Will write more later.

Feeling a bit better now.

Today has been productive. Thank you, everyone who left comments on my last entry. Your sympathy is much appreciated.

Alex and I had some things shipped to us this week. I can't remember what they were, but the box is in the middle of the floor and Loki has decided that it is his box. Of course, we have done nothing to discourage this, as Loki is rather cute in there. In any case, should we need to, we can just move the box and Loki won't care. He's fun that way.

Well, that was random. Here's something else random that just cheered me up.
A Very Special Cleaner. We all need this sometimes, don't we? *grins*

I would also like to comment that I think ( quizzes )

are utterly pointless. Don't you think that ( quizzes )

are a total waste of time? I don't know why anybody takes ( quizzes )

. What do ( quizzes )

tell us about ourselves, anyway? I don't think I should take any more ( quizzes )
