Some days are harder than others, and none of them are easy. I try not to mourn who I was, nor hate who I've become. Today was harder, hate was easy, the mourning as sure as sunrise. When the last comes there will be no rest, no glorious meeting. Just an end with no credits and a 5% on the Tomatometer.

A prominent and wonderful person on Babka posts pictures of her cat with a physical disability.
I occasionally post pictures of my cat Crispin d' Familiar, who has some kind of neurological impairment/executive dysfunction (like me)
