Some... week. · 12:25am May 23rd, 2016
Began nicely, with all the new games I got to play. Didn't last, though.
On Thursday, our elder cat has left us. She's been with our family for... I don't even remember how many years exactly, she's just always been there. 13 years? Maybe 14? Spent most of the day crying, then getting drunk, then crying when drunk. I haven't done either of those things for years prior. Yes, losing important things feels very bad.
Restarting real work on the Crusader Kings mod now. I'll report as it goes.
Sorry about the cat; it's always rough when a good companion leaves for the last time. It's been about a quarter century since I said goodbye to my first and favorite cat, and I still remember her loud purr, the asymmetric spot on her nose, her unusual wiry coat and the way she'd try to lick water off my toes when I got out of the bath. This sounds incredibly sappy, but they're not really gone as long as someone remembers them.
(That's why Young Me made her a x-concrete slab-x with a sacrificial altar meant for mice, since replaced with a proper +<<*sandstone slab*>>+)
