The weeks are passing so quickly…I’ve been so busy I feel like I haven’t had much time for fun things…and a sad event stopped me from posting last week. I lost my puffy kitty, Madison. I really got him for my daughter for her 11th birthday, but she moved out and away from us 6 years ago when she left for college and then the world beyond, so in my heart he is really mine. But shortly after his 16th birthday in March, he started for the first time to really age…and then in the last week his body just gave up and out and he passed away quietly in the comfort of his own home. He was a sweet kitty, a good kitty…and my apartment and life feel a little emptier without him.

I had a couple photo shoots…

My daughter helped me move a pile of stuff to storage so there’s a little more breathing room in the apartment…

I have not really *mastered* Snapchat, but I do have fun playing with the photo filters.

I have a friend at work who likes to rename people. He calls me Black Betty (after the 1977 Ram Jam song “Old Black Betty”) but he originally dubbed me “Sweaty Betty,” which I did not much care for. So it was funny to see a band playing at the beach last week by that name!

I have not been in much of a picture-taking mood lately, so things are sort of passing by unseen…and unremembered.

Do you ever feel like life is sort of passing by you and you’re not quite keeping up with it?
