So, typically, I'm the tough guy. I usually have ice running through my veins. I can watch sad movies and laugh when tragedy strikes the protagonist. However; lately, there has been a crack in the armor.
For work, I was having to travel to Montreal every other week. Being gone for five days at a time, and not having anyone in Indy to look after Smokey (my cat) seemed unfair. So, being pragmatic, if somewhat cheap, I dumped off Smokey on Sara, in Chicago. A couple of weeks ago I dropped off Smokey at Sara’s, then it was off to Montreal.
Due to a change in my responsibilities on the Montreal job (not a bad thing, but not great) I found out that I wouldn’t be traveling to Montreal very much. I learned that information last Monday. I sat around my empty apartment trying to decide what to do. : pick up Smokey early, or leave Smokey at Sara’s for the balance of the month? Cold logic says that I should leave Smokey up there to allow for more freedom (I know a cat isn’t much, but it is still greater than zero), but the ice melted. I missed Smokey (I realize that’s weak, but like I said, the ice melted) and I didn’t want Smokey to start liking Sara, Mark, and Eli more.
Yup, it was weak, but I have my Smokey back.
