Thanks for all the support. It does indeed feel like I've lost a family member. And I'm also feeling somewhat embarrassed to be taking it this hard. Weird huh? Why should I be embarrassed that I loved my cat?

The bike ride went very well this morning. Right now, I'm planning to go back to the mixed mode commute on Tuesday when I bike in again. Very light traffic to a bus stop. Maybe Wednesday, I'll be up for the whole ride again.
