We spent the eve with his family, dinner was neat, I met his Granny who is wonderful and sweet and really liked the robe we got her and the picture of the two of us together. Now his PA family members can look and see what Jeff’s new girlfriend looks like. Which is really why we gave it to her, everyone keeps asking. Christmas day was a lot of fun. Danielle was all choked up with the Jack doll we gave her and Mom gave her a Sally doll so she was in TNBC heaven. The Jack doll talked, I wanted to throw it out the window, and Sally’s arms and legs came off, so I kept rearranging them wrong and pissing Dani off. A good day was had by all. Dad gave me one of his older sketches, but he had it framed all nicely and that was really the best gift I got. Mom got me the World of the Dark Crystal all signed and stuff and I was absolutely thrilled with that and Jeff got me the special edition Dark Crystal DVD. It was a Dark Crystal Christmas for the Dog. I also got a Tenacious D DVD from my sister and watched that last night, and it was rad. I still have one disk left to watch.
But here comes the suck part of my weekend. I woke up Friday morning to get ready for work and found Peanuts dead. Jeff’s cat… It is the strangest thing cuz he was only 3 and there was really nothing wrong with him. He was acting a little sick for about a week there, but we were giving him penicillin and hairball stuff and he was eating and drinking. I guess it was just a genetic thing. So I called work and told them to piss off for the day and we drove up to Fairmont and buried him in the garden up there at Jeff’s mom’s house.
I don’t know what to do for him. Jeff is pretty upset. Peanuts was his son. His boon companion or something like that. Hell I bawled all day. We came home and watched videotape of him as a kitten right after Jeff got him. Waterworks baby, waterworks. Oscar is still looking for him around the house. Meowing to try and bait him out of hiding and the like. He jumped up on Peanuts when we had him wrapped in a blanket and I thought Jeff was going to kill him. It was a rough day for poor little Oscar.
So now I guess I only have 2 boys. There were mornings when I would wake up with Jeff lying on one side of me and the two cats on top of me and I would just feel right. I would marvel at the claustrophobic feeling of three other warm bodies on mine and yet be totally happy that my three boys were there and all loving and now I won’t have that feeling for a while. I just hope that Oscar is ok, really. He was so loyal to Peanuts… They were brothers in every human sense of the word.
Well after that we just decided to sit in the house and veg all weekend long. Jeff had a cold that I am now trying to fight off and so we just decided to do nothing. And we did. It was nice. Played video games, watched TV, did some shopping and some cleaning. Went to dinner with my sister and brother in law. Just tried to be together as much as possible, which I love. Jeff is the first person I have ever not been annoyed with after this much time together. We’ve barely even snapped at each other in close to a month. I think we are learning each other more and more with every day.
I mentioned to him the other night that moving in together like we did was probably the craziest thing either of had ever done. I am just glad it has worked out so well. You watch friends, I will marry this one.
Wink wink...
