Gah, I accidentally dumped the post I'd been writing, 'cause I picked up my laptop and the screen went black on me? It's because I was excited to see that Etsy had changed listing options so I can set a US-specific price. Which means selling to the US is nearly back on (as long as USPS aren't destroying parcels). I'll need to adjust my prices on everything, and think about adding some more listings of my fayre stuff, for example. I would very much like to get back to getting a few sales here and there.
This has been balanced against feeling a strong wave of grief. I've been missing my best boy Batman a lot. I love our clowder, don't get me wrong, but he was special. I mean, he would tuck me into bed every night, and I knew no other cat would do the same. Not just because all cats are different, but because it was him. Closest I get now is Vivi humping my leg through the blanket nightly which... free leg massage? ><
Anyhoos.

Tuesday my little angel finally lost her fight against her diseases. She became about 17,5, we got her when she was about 10. She already had feline leukemia and other nasties. She surpassed her life expectancy by far.
The photo is from 2 weeks ago. She always participated in my online yoga class. She had good days until the very end. Now I'm absolutely devastated.
I recently had to say goodbye to my old cat. I wrote this post about #PetLoss and #PetGrief as as result. I hope some people find it of some small comfort.

Dear people of Mastodon who have lost a beloved #pet:
How did you know you were ready for a new companion? How did you know it was time? Alternatively, how did you know it WASN'T time yet?
(I'm less interested in how long it took to be ready, and more in the cognitive/emotional/psychological/somatic signs that it was or wasn't time.)
