I guess I'm kind of depressed.

I dreamed that my dead cat's ghost came to sit on the couch. I saw Nixon curled up in her usual spot, and it took me a minute to remember that that was wrong. I said to her, "Oh, no, honey, you passed away months ago. You shouldn't be here." She heard my voice and came whining towards me, walking across the quilt that thegeekgene was working on next to her.

As I leaned over to pet my ghost cat, who was still very soft and still complaining about nothing, thegeekgene asked me, "What are you doing?"

I said, "Nixon's here. Can't you see her?"

"No."

"Maybe I'm just hallucinating her, then."

I turned around to see if I had any other hallucinations waiting in other parts of the room. I saw Anxiety asleep on the table, and beside him another version of Nixon from earlier in life, very fat and healthy. They seemed to flicker in and out of existence, and I was sad because I felt that this probably meant that either they wouldn't last, or I needed to go to the hospital.

It seems we both have a really screwed up week.

Are you worried that you're starting to forget them, maybe?

Be good to yourself.

Thanks.

I think I'm just allowing myself to freak out because thegeekgene's dog was really sick for a long time, and I had to give him IVs and take him to the vet a listen to alarming prognoses - but he's better now. So, now's obviously the time for me to get upset about him. Also, now that the election's over I can get upset about that.
