Borrowed Cat

 Aah, when a cat chooses you! Our time with PA has come to an end already, and oh how I miss her presence. I keep 'seeing' her or expecting her to be present and around me. How I miss those 4 kneading paws in the morning ...

 She was always there, in amongst everything, supervising and counting and judging.

She had to inspect everything, and try things out for size. Unfortunately none of our totes for packing passed muster, and we weren't able to stow her away for the voyage.

In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" is 42 - that's how many days to our departure.
