[Magdalen] Rainbow Bridge

[Marion Thompson]

Such losses are always sad.

This morning Archie is far from his usual ebullient self.  A pile of 
sick in the hall, but where's Archie, who is usually the wake-up 
fellow?  I finally found him in his cat carrier with his Precious, the  
plastic sleeve that the paper comes in knotted to mouse size and 
mouth-feel.  He has not come out.

The very last thing I need at this time is a sick pussy cat!

I'm now waiting for word from Beth the Mortgage that the bridging loan 
papers have arrived at a local-to-me bank branch from Port Hope.  I then 
rush down to sign them so they can be sent back to her and then 
forwarded to another bank branch in suburban Ottawa where Jim now is for 
the rest of the week for him to sign (because we are co-owners of the 
W'vale house whose sale closes on the 7th).  I then must drive to Port 
Hope this afternoon to present myself to the lawyer handling the 
purchase to sign other stuff, before tomorrow's closing when I must 
return there, assuming all has happened in time. I don't do this kind of 
stress well.

Now rising panic over all that remains to be done, especially 
physically, to get the place set for Tuesday's big move.  I need either 
an administrative assistant or else someone  to pack up, and throw out 
pod contents, and take more stuff to Value Village and and and.

Please, a moment of your time to send up prayers large or small on my 
behalf and for Archie.  Sorry I didn't stay on topic.

Marion, a pilgrim
