Had a serious case of flu that got me midweek. Haven’t been remotely sick in any way since even way before the pandemic, so I guess my 40 year old corp- uhh, body wasn’t entirely up to par when it got that smackdown.
Apart from that, I took a midnight walk last night fully intending on taking my own life. I was stopped by two neighbor cats that walked with me and demanded attention. This normally never happens. They kept following me until I burst into tears, played with them, thanked them for saving me and walked back home bawling my eyes out. For some reason these two angelic furry creatures just had to show me that, if nothing else, they appreciate my presence and companionship and would somehow miss me if I were gone.
So, nothing out of the ordinary all things considered.
I sat with a group of friends the other day and a number of them shared stories about a time when they intended to take their lives.
I was incredibly glad all of them were there, and all the more grateful after that chat. Please seek any help you can, even if it’s to give those cats a midnight walking buddy.

Thanks for the kind words. I don’t have any friends to share stories with over a drink, but I’ll gladly take the companionship of cats if offered.
