Two weeks ago, Maui started eating less, which for him was pretty odd. He would usually eat everything I gave him as soon as I put it in the bowl, but then there started to be some left when it was time for the next meal. It seemed like he was eating it when it was fresh out of the bag, but after it had been sitting for a while, he’d ignore it.

A few days ago, his breathing started to sound a little wheezy and would make noises of pain if I picked him up or pet him around the chest, so I thought he was maybe having a respiratory infection, so I took him in to the vet this morning.

The vet listened to his breathing and checked his eyes, and said that it was not an infection and that it was likely that there was something in his lungs and that they needed to do an x-ray.

The x-ray came back showing a lot of fluid in and around his lungs, making his breathing difficult. Most likely caused by a tumor, caused by his feline leukemia. The fluid could be drained, but it would be back in a few days. So, I had the choice of losing him now, or in a few days, over which he would be in pain. Which isn’t really a choice at all.

Goodbye Maui, you were a very good friend. You met me everyday as I woke up (and were often the reason I woke up), and everyday when I came home. Walking through that door without you being there will be very hard.

So, take home message: I feel what others are feeling, but I don’t like to have anything to do with other people. Perhaps those are connected. So, you people better stop forcing your emotions down my throat, or I’ll use my authoratarian-ness to do…something…I really don’t know where this is going.

Anyways, I went to see Scary Movie 4 today, since I wasn’t doing much and it was playing every half hour for most of the day at a theater pretty close by. It was a little below the average for the series. Some laughs, but also some things that were worn out in the previous movie.

Also, even though it is late in the day, Happy Easter. I’ll be out bargain hunting on the candy the rest of the week.

“Kiss me goodbye.”

Thought in my head “I’d like to see something try to stop me”

Not quite a friendly kiss on the cheek, not quite something intimate, somewhere in between. To be precise more around the corners of the mouth.

We’ll see how things look in the light of day, but at the moment, I’d say I’m going with “hopeful.”

Now, for the background info.

It is generally agreeed that dating someone you work with, particularly in a small company, is a bad idea. So, while I was aware of a level of interest towards a new hire some months ago, I had no plans of pursuing anything. However, she has since found a new position elsewhere with yesterday being her last day, and today being her going away get together. I don’t think there is any rule about ex-coworkers. So, much of the evening into the now was spent talking with her (no, really, I did) in between other people buying her drinks and socializing. Was she at the “love everyone” stage. Certainly. Am I going to let that spoil my happy memories. Not at all. She specificly made sure I had her email and to promise I’d write to her. And so I will. It can’t hurt, and La Jolla isn’t all that far away.

Last night was my birthday celebration with MEETinLA. We started out with Malaysian food at Kuala Lumpur in Pasadena. It was fairly average food, and I wasn’t feeling all that hungry as I’d had a bit of stress during the day.

After dinner, we went over to The Ice House Comedy Club for some entertainment. Three comics I’d never heard of before, but they were good, and I was quite pleased with the night and I’d like to go back again some time.

Oh, and I seem to have gone into debt.
