PERSPECTIVE

i've been having a really hard time comprehending the notion of time. one of my cats is sick and i took her to the vet yesterday. i had finally decided to change vets since our former one was out in vancouver and i haven't lived in the city for years. wow - and there it is again. time. i moved into this apartment 3 years ago. out of vancouver 6 years ago.

the vet asked me how old Cookie was. i did the math and was stunned. i guess i always knew but never really thought about it. my 2 other cats i took in while they were kittens. i know what day they were born. not Cookie tho. she was a stray headed for the chopping block. the vet guessed that she was about 7 at the time and no one wanted to adopt an old cat. that was 7 years ago. 14 cat years is approximately 85 human years. Cookie's a senior citizen.

i've got some perspective now and i'm worried.

fingers crossed.

where has all that time gone? when did my cat get old? when did i get so old?
