All is right with the world in Auke Bay.

After having her flight cancelled from Sun Valley... Being bussed to Boise... Getting a flight to Seattle and finally to Juneau, KK was reunited with her cats and people by about 10:15 pm. The travel day sounded exhausting. Wildfires wreaked havoc on flights up there. Yikes.

But the presence of the Cat Lady of Auke Bay back in her abode has the cats much less focused on me, and back to chasing shrews and birds and sleeping on top of their cat queen. While I await her entrance into the room of coffee, it' a moment to gather thoughts of gratitude for how well I have been taken care of up here and for friendship. In isolating myself so harshly while I sank deeper into the sads, I just got really lonely. That certainly didn't help anything.

So this time has been good for me. To have someone to check in with, have a few people to cook for, and to just try and contribute where I can.

Good stuff.
