The things that come out of my mouth

[vanillafluffy]

Lately, I've noticed myself borrowing some of Kat's favorite sayings. The most prevalent one, in response to questions beginning with "Do you remember---? is, "I've slept since then."

"Do you remember a couple months ago, I told you about the lady with the dacshund in Rockledge?"

"No, I've slept since then."

Another one that comes up regularly, when for instance, a cashier or CSR is apologizing for a delay is, "I don't go anywhere in a hurry."

"Ma'am, I'm so sorry you had to wait for service."

"It's okay, I don't go anywhere in a hurry."

And just now, I got off the phone with Mb and I heard myself say, "Later, Gator!" and had a disconcerting moment of deja vu. It's not a BAD thing, per se, it just feels weird.

I still miss you, honey!

Awwww! It's a sweet tribute and I'm sure she appreciates her phrases living on.

It's a balancing act, between remembering all the good times and all the fun we had together, and feeling terribly deprived because it's over, she's gone, we'll never do lunch again, or go shopping, or just hang out.

She was the one who had my back for a very long time. Broke down, day or night, I called Kat. Needed a ride to the eye doctor? Kat was there. Running on fumes? Say the word. Need a sympathetic ear? She excelled. She never bitched at me for being a whiny twit. Now? My world is an emptier place.
