Of Broken Things

So silly.

Myrtle Cat knocked over a china Maleficent figurine that my mom bought me in Disney in 2000.

It had survived two trans-Atlantic moves, one move to Laois, one move to Dublin, one move back to Laois and two moves within NYC.

I'm inordinately upset by this. It reminded me of a particularly horrible time in my life and how far I'd come since then, and I'm sad that it's completely un-fixable.

Still, things could be worse. It's only a thing that was broken, no one got hurt and I really don't need to look at a figurine to see how far I've come.

Silly cat.
