Back up off of my resting bitch face
I have an oblong face, thick lips, large teeth, and a long, flat nose. All of this creates an illusion that I am mad when I am not. I was reminded of my "resting bitch face" shortly after my husband died. A woman I went to elementary school with had attended junior and high school with my spouse. She found out about his death weeks later on Facebook. Instead of offering condolences and leaving well enough alone, she posted something that annoyed me.

Grief 101: Resentment
My husband's death is the first time that I have dealt with resentment as I am grieving. I am not talking about resenting the fact that other couples are still celebrating anniversaries and milestones. I am addressing something that I was unaware of and I desire others to be aware of this emotion and not to be too hard on themselves. After my great grandmother died in 1975 we were given a Golde Retriever puppy and I grew to love him and see him as part of the family.

What it means when your cat goes belly up.
In the song When Doves Cry by Prince, there is a line where he sings” Animals strike curious poses.” I had a lot of cats when I was a teenager but they were all outdoor kitties except for one. For this reason, I did not pay attention to certain signals that my felines were giving me. I observed them sleeping in off positions at times but did not give it much thought.
