I feel like I was missed.

I feel like I was missed. He's been on me for hours and I'm so sleepy... But just look at him! My little passed-out Toebean. ❤️

I miss Scar. I wish I could text him.

I woke up stupid early...

I woke up stupid early with my neck hurting because these two were hogging my pillow.

Scar is such a brat. Always looking so sassy. 😂

We bought this cover for the bench in our bedroom...

We bought this cover for the bench in our bedroom so the cats wouldn't scratch it up.

Adrian decided it has a better use. 😂

They've got me surrounded and pinned down. 😂

Look at Bear and Harley.

Look at Bear and Harley. Bear likes to chase the cats (when they run; they all know at this point that they're safe and don't have to), but he also just likes them. And the cats are really gentle about letting him know when they done with his attention... Unless he doesn't listen. 😂

I come upstairs for any reason...

I come upstairs for any reason and he SCREAMS to be held.

I may not have a job, but I definitely have a boss. 😂

I was walking on the treadmill...

I was walking on the treadmill (yay for self-care!), holding Scar because he's a BRAT, and this cat plucked out my tragus earring AND ATE IT.

Thanks, buddy. I've had this pair of earrings in for like, 20 years. I hope I can find another pair as comfy.

The annoyed face of "Why did you put me down so suddenly?"

Adrian's beans. 😂

Lazy Sunday. I'm in my nightshirt still.

Lazy Sunday. I'm in my nightshirt still.

This is Scar being good for his inhaler. If you look closely, you can see the little green flap at the front that counts his breaths vibrate because he's purring. 😂😊❤️

I love how the cats...

I love how the cats are completely unbothered by anything outside of this house. 😂

Scar was looking goofy on my lap this morning. 😂

We've been going pretty hard...

We've been going pretty hard since picking up our friends from the airport on Sunday. We've had a great time. I had to sit down and cuddle some kitties last night, though. I feel like I was missed.

Editing to add that we don't usually leave Bear loose in the house when we're not here... Mostly because we're never not here. But we have been leaving him alone with Cub and he's been great. We're so proud of him! 😊

My kitties. ❤️

My kitties. ❤️

We're not having a wonderful day...

We're not having a wonderful day like I thought we might considering I was up early despite still being sick.

This antibiotic has my stomach AND intestines messed up. I ate when I took it this morning, but it and my breakfast came up. I just took Imodium to hopefully settle my butt.

Shaun says our savings are looking rough and I still haven't gotten any job replies. Also, Bear jumped up and busted Shaun's lip with his teeth this morning. Booger was just excited and caught Shaun off guard. Plus, poor Shaun is dealing with my sick ass.

Harley is over here trying his best to love us up and make things better. He's rubbing and purring like it'll fix everything. It's a little annoying, but I appreciate his efforts. I was trying to redo my gel because it's lifting and Harley is knocking shit all over the place. Thankfully, he's settled a bit.

These sweet babies may not actually make everything better all the time, but ya gotta love them anyway.

I bet this cat would love for me to be still and go to sleep.

Me, too, buddy. I'm trying. 😂

Chewy sent us this painting of Ash...

Chewy sent us this painting of Ash. What a pleasant surprise! It looks hand-painted and is very well-done. And accurate! The attention to detail is 🤌🏻. 

Ash is a love-nibbler. I think she approves. 😊❤️

I'm having a little ramble. Feel free to skip this.

I'm having a little ramble. Feel free to skip this.

I've done literally nothing for weeks except put in job applications. I haven't gotten any calls back, so I am going to have to change my strategy. Fun.

Other than that I have rested. Like, deeply rested. Like, "slept 12-15 hour days, laid in bed even awake, done not a single chore" type of rested. I felt like I needed it. It's only the last couple of days that I've started to feel like a person again.

Unfortunately, Shaun is sick. I think it started with allergies, but it turned into a sinus infection. Now he's coughing a bunch. He says he's starting to feel better, and I hope he is. I'm still getting up tomorrow to watch the baby (Bear), so Shaun can hopefully get more rest.

When I went out to water plants the other day I almost lost my wedding band. I guess I've lost enough weight that my ring is slipping off. This is the smallest I've been in at least 7 years. I'm not complaining.

Physically, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm low-energy, but I'm not eating much, so that's probably why. Maybe after the next 15 lbs are gone I'll switch to a maintenance dose of Semaglutide and see about eating more and walking/lifting again. I should probably exercise now, but I don't want to and I can admit that, so... 🤷🏻 It just is what it is. I guess I'm trying to build my willpower back up.

I really miss skating. I need to get myself to go do that again. It's a lot more fun than walking.

I haven't had a haircut in a while. For years I had kept at least part of my head shaved, but here I sit with my scalp covered in hair. It's about down to my armpits now. I keep it bunned up most of the time, so it's not a lot of trouble. I have a silver streak in the front just like my MaMaw had. I think it's actually kind of pretty, but it could probably use a trim.

Scar is so cute. He needs his inhaler 2x day, and since I give him a treat after he breathes his meds, he reminds me now to do it. It's still not his favorite thing, but half of the time when I hold him to give it to him, he's purring and the little valve flap is fluttering, so I'm glad he doesn't hate it. 😂 Forget old dogs - I taught my old kitty cat a new trick! ❤️

I still haven't done Shaun's nails. I am so terrible. He's been tempted to try doing gel himself and it's honestly not hard, but he'd cure it on his skin and give himself an allergy. Maybe when he's not coughing all over the place I can finally get it done.

Goodnight, friends. I hope y'all are doing well.

This Harley cat has been petting himself on me...

This Harley cat has been petting himself on me for the last 10 minutes. He finally settled down thank goodness. 😂

I'm exhausted, but...

I'm exhausted, but I haven't held her in a few days and she INSISTED on lap time tonight. I was trying to make my resume beautiful and she wouldn't stay off my laptop. So I guess she won. It's snuggle time. 😂
