a triangle lives here

signal

Last night, Goose crawled into bed with us[1]. I asked if she needed anything, and best my sleep deprived brain can recall, she said something along the lines of "I just want to be here". Eventually her poking into my back led me to carry her back to her room.

Apparently, when Em asked her today why she needed us she said "I tried sending you a signal. A signal that I needed toddy[2] cuz I had a stuffy nose"

...

I literally cannot conceive of a more youtsuba thing to say; I read the text from Em and--like hearing words in a certain voice--I saw the words in a speech bubble

  1. except not really?? I swear she was like, curled up or crouched on our pillows directly between our heads. I do not even know how she squirreled there without disturbing either of us until that point ↩︎

  2. an elderberry/honey/clove syrup, lest you think she's into hot scotch and lemon, lol ↩︎
