BURNING QUESTION
You have a river. On this river are barges, among other river-type boats carrying passengers and cargo. There are no locks on this river. The barges need to stop at places to tie up for the night.
What are these places called? Docks Piers? Moorings? Barge stops? Something else? If you were going to meet someone there, you'd say "Meet me at the ______?"
YOU'D THINK THIS WOULD BE AN EASY GOOGLE.

In other news, we're bearing up from the events of last week and missing Nefer. Sora is weirded out because That Other Cat is Not Here, and because![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
myrialux and I dealt with our feelings by vigorously Kondo-ing our spare bedroom and its closet, and getting rid of or re-homing the crap left in our master bedroom after we Kondoed the master closet a few months back, so Things Are Not In The Same Place. Other than that, he's pretty much fine because they never got along all that well.
I have moved the house-shaped cat bed that Nefer used to sleep in next to my head, because I have to admit I'd really hated it being there, but it was the best solution to keeping the cats from fighting over me at night. Sora had gotten it during the day as part of their timeshare arrangement, and I found him curled up on the spot where the house had been the next day, so now I move his house to that spot during the day, and move it back to the foot of the bed at night.
For the first few days, I think Sora was expecting Nefer to show up, because one day he and I were sitting on the couch when something in the kitchen--I think it was the icemaker--made a series of soft noises that were roughly similar to the way her claws clicked on the floor, and he immediately sat up and started sniffing the air in a suspicious manner, and then slunk off. Hasn't happened since, though.
Mornings and evenings are the hardest.
