New Year
well last night karyn came over with her boyfriend, they brought stephen, pedro and jasper were also there. mary made them garlic bread till they were all stuffed. I came home from work and made some burgers and hot dogs. gabby fell asleep, mommy joined her. Steven got out of work and arrived at about 11:30ish.
basically nothing happened it was a dullish evening since most of us had worked that day and were dead tired. we did have a good laugh over stephen's late x-mas present to mary (extremely tight pants). Xavier nearly choked laughing over the book brian gave me for x-mas. my mom shouted from her room "28 seconds" our last ten was a trifle-bit convoluted but we didn't miss it and the first thing I did this year was fork steven's hot dog out of the boiling water and bun it. since gabby was asleep we decided to save the fireworks for her birthday.
the next morning after I had fed the cats I walked into my room and steven was sitting there holding jasper with the most upsetting expression I've ever seen on him, "what happened to you? why do you look so forlorn?" he could only point across my room. then I saw that Yang had finally joined her sister. He helped me bury my last gerbil, right next to her sister's grave. and today after I got back from work I cleaned out the cage.
A moment for Yang.
she was the snow white gerbil to her grey sister, Yin. Yang was the larger gerbil. she was the stronger, fiestier one. The smarter, stronger one. The first to fugure out how to use the wheel. she was a biter and even thinking about holding her was dangerous. Yang always seemed like she could take on the world. then Yin died and Yang just didn't seem the same. she was quieter. she didn't run on the wheel as much or scratch at the walls. she also started making squeaking sounds some nights, quiet squeaks that I never would have noticed if I hadn't been awake. she slept more. Yin and yang were the best sisters I ever knew. They slept cuddled up together, they never fought...Now, they're fnally back together.
Happy New Year everyone.
