Two days ago I had to put my little Louis (kitty) to sleep. It's definitely one of the hardest things I've had to do. It's always hard losing a pet but I'm having an incredibly hard time coping with this. He was my little buddy, always by my side while at home. When my mom was going through cancer the first time, he was always with her. When she relapsed a few months ago, he started up his duties again. It's so hard to even open up about him...I loved him so much and miss him.

It's been a while since I've actually knitted because I've been so consumed with my "part-time" job that has me working full time hours...had a day off so I went out and bought some yarn to start working on a new project. I need the comfort knitting brings. Though it's also hard because I'm so used to Louis sitting beside me watching or curling up next to me as I knit.

Tonight I started working on a Summer Flies Shawl (...funny thing is that even though it's December, today coincidentally felt like Summer since it was so warm and sunny out). I started while watching Spider-man 3 (my first time watching it, total disappointment). I'm enjoying it so far. I just hope Louis is up in Heaven, as a little angel kitty, looking down and enjoying watching me knit like old times.
