RIP Luthien

Roommate's restaurant arcade is having VIP night so go pick him up at scheduled time. Then the corporate people decided to extend the night an extra hour, then roommate had to clean up and have a manager meeting. I was sitting in my car for 2 hours waiting for him to leave work. The distance is 30 minutes one way and didn't want to drive home and then come back again so I waited. Mall is closed so can't go shopping.

We come home and I go pet Luthien ferret asleep on the living room floor to realize she's dead. I screamed and roommate came rushing to pick her up to place her in a box. And I wasn't home when she died. Her mouth was open and she was curled up so I think she died in her sleep. She had lymphoma so I was expected her death for months. We were up until midnight as roommate dug her grave and I placed some plastic flowers to mark the spot. Sang Amazing Grace. I normally put flower petals in their burial shroud but roommate put her in the box before I could do that. I grabbed some tiger lily petals to place on her grave after work today. She is next to her ferret buddies. I skipped my Friday night drink at my old hotel. I drove home without thinking and roommate said it was best I didn't drink alcohol right now.

The Republican Lincoln Dinner is tonight downtown and several guests are at my hotel. Unless I run into them in the lobby making change for the front desk and restaurants, I won't meet them. I work in an office cubicle.
