It's snowing outside. I hate snow. It's never deep enough and then it freezes and gets icy and I can't walk.
I did nanowrimo this year, and I won

My novel is in no way finished, though. My poor heroine is running away from her kidnappers but won't get any further until I write some more.
I think my little cat Kimburu got run over

She went out on Friday evening and hasn't been back since, and we got a call after putting leaflets through every door in the neighbourhood to say someone had spoken to a motorist who was in tears after hitting a cat that matched her description. People keep telling me not to give up hope, that she may come back, but people kept saying that lymphoma was one of the most treatable cancers, that after a few rounds of chaemo mum would be able to come home, but she still died. I have no hope left, only tears. Tears for my little buru, and tears for the fact that mum isn't there to comfort me, either. Kimburu sat with me after mummy died. She used to miaow herself hoarse outside our bedroom door in the morning, wanting to come in. Now Chui sits with me in the evenings instead. I can't tell if Chui misses Kimburu or not - they used to hiss at each other quite a bit, but I think they kept each other company too.
Anyway, 2010 needs to hurry up and end. It needs to be spring time again, and I need to be able to stop feeling like this.
2011 will be a better year!
Don't give up hope, she may come back as that poor cat might not have been yours. Cats are rescourceful little buggers and she's probably found some nice warm little hideaway from the snow or the snow has confused her, as soon as the snow goes and its easier for her to get around, she'll be back!
And your mum is never gone as long as you keep her in your heart. You can always remember the words of comfort she would say at times like this, and don't forget you're never alone because there are so many people around you who love you so so much
Also congratulations on winning your NaNoWriMo! I tried a personal Drawing month, in which I wanted to create enough paintings and photomanipulations to fill a calendar, but I totally failed.
