Thank you. He deserved it.

I told myself I would not continue posting about Byron, but here I am doing it. I couldn’t have imagined how much I would miss him.

Didn’t work. I wish this week a very pleasant trip to the bowels of hell.
It was a garbage week, but I’m kicking off the last day by watching some reality TV before work and I think this is gonna turn everything around for me.

In a truly stunning feat of passive aggression, my old temple sent me an End of Year Donation Acknowledgement in the amount of zero dollars.

I’m watching so many videos of Byron when he was fat and mischievous. I had forgotten this one of him unboxing some catnip treats.

Rare glimpse at my Boston accent too. I had been watching a Sox game.

I’m looking through my Byron memories and had to share this one. In my old place in Hollywood, he used to get into the bottom cabinet and push the treat drawer forward from behind, so he could rummage around in it.

I still like this one. He made me laugh more than anyone else I’ve ever met.
In which Byron tries to bully me into giving him water (he has water in the kitchen.)

Thank you. That’s lovely.

It was always going to be “too soon” but I’m grateful I knew when it was time, and that he knew to ask to go out on the porch while we waited. That was all his idea, because he was a very smart guy.

Yesterday I got up at 5:30 to workout, but I ended up just quietly petting Byron for an hour. I guess I had a feeling this day was coming soon. I didn’t realize it would be so soon, that by the next morning I would be calling at home vets for pricing while he laid on my chest whimpering.

But I say that we were two creatures alive together on this earth at the same time, and that we found each other. I think that’s beautiful, and I’m grateful for all the years we spent together.

I don’t know what I’m going to do without my best friend. I didn’t mean to because a cat lady. I just adopted a kitten when we were both young and wild, and then a partner for me never showed up, so he became my family. Some people might find that sad.

I picked him up on a whim. One morning on the way home from a boyfriend’s place I decided to just swing by a shelter and get a kitten. His name was Nutter Butter, part of a cookie litter, and he reached out through the bars to grab me, locking eyes with me, meowing plaintively. I had been picked.

He was noisy and talkative, and for most of his life he was extremely fat. I tried everything to keep him on a diet. A feeder on a timer, for instance. But he learned to simply reach up into the dispenser mechanism and turn it until it gave him helpings on demand.

Lord Byron Bluth was named after a Romantic poet and Buster from Arrested Development, to represent my twin interests in both comedy and being extra. He was stubborn and whip smart, but also extremely sweet. He always greeted guests at the door and he knew how to give out high fives.

I said goodbye to a special guy today. My heart is shattered, obviously, but we spent a very special day together, sitting on the porch listening to the birds and enjoying the late afternoon sun for the last time while we waited for the vet. I think he was happy out there.

There are downsides to starting work at 8am, to be sure, but this morning I experienced something I didn’t think was possible: I did 75mph on the 10 freeway.

The main character keeps demanding to see Olivia Coleman, and honestly I demand to see her too.

Ernie’s Pizza in Plymouth MA. It closed over a decade ago but I’ve been chasing that pizza ever since. It was thin crust and covered in Linguisa sausage, a specialty of the local Portuguese community. Also they had really good mints at the host stand, the fluffy white kind with lemony filling.

I checked in on Instagram for the first time in a while and everyone is posting pictures of themselves in 2016? Why are we doing this? Because it was the last good year?
