Neelix asked for my lap once today, but when he does that, he wants petting and is not content to lie still.<\/p>\n<p>My sweet boy is such a comfort. He&#8217;s been increasingly affectionate in this past week. My favourite new thing he does is that he doesn&#8217;t just show me his belly to rub it, but rather puts both paws around my arm to hold it in place until he&#8217;s had enough!

The day started off cool, so I wrapped my electric blanket around me in the morning, but I&#8217;m now in full sun and enjoying the contrast to yesterday&#8217;s gloomy tone. Later this evening, after the dinner rush passes, I will go try the buffet, which is $5 off for ladies on Wednesdays (so $7.95), and also play the free keno. I don&#8217;t intend to give them the $10 to get the free slot play, however.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This has been the first day that I&#8217;ve really had a chance to realise how huge is the hole in my life now that my precious girl is gone.
