I didn't feel super great today... yesterday?

I didn't feel super great today... yesterday? Sunday - whenever that was. I ended up napping from 6 pm - almost 11 pm. Got up and watched Tiger King on Netflix. The whole thing. In one sitting. Just finished. That was a wild ride.

Having volunteered in animal rescue and rehab - I have feelings about it. I have felt extremely passionate about animal situations. I have been angered to tears by things people do and have spent more than my fair share of time brokenhearted over things I have no power to change. There's just too much to unpack. So I'm stuffing that right back down from whence it came. I need to concentrate on the well-being of my family, school, and getting a job.

I can't wait to see all of the memes, though. Holy shit, that show is a gold mine. 😂😂😂

Today was productive.

Today was productive. Shaun and I did a bunch of yard work. We also did some laundry. Last thing for me for the day will be changing my bed sheets - not a super easy task because my bed is a loft and the mattress is super poofy. 😂 It's a workout, but I love my nest so it's ok.

I took a shower after I came in from doing yard work and halfway through I started feeling like I was drowning. It wasn't a super hot steamy shower and I didn't get water up my nose, but I still don't feel good. I've been coughing a bit and my head feels wonky, but hopefully whatever this is will pass.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well. If today wasn't good, maybe tomorrow will be. ❤️

I haven't "had" a cat since Midna died.

I haven't "had" a cat since Midna died. I have lived with a bunch of cats, but none really claimed me as their own because I live with Shaun the Cat - Whisperer, Stealer of Cats. Of course I love all of the 10 cats who live here and they like me, too, but you can tell when you're special to them.

Over the last few weeks I've become special to Scar. I don't really know why he's decided that he's my cat, but he has. He cries outside my bedroom when I go to bed and calls loudly in the morning when he misses me. He talks to me and snuggles me.

He's gives bitey love, which I like. He's not afraid to hook a claw in you to pull you closer. I like that, too. In return I'm a little rough with him. I pick him up and squeeze him and he purrs. I forcefully rub his cheek on my cheek against his resistance and he purrs. I don't know if it's weird or what, but we take the love we want from each other and now we're friends.

This my kitty, y'all. His nickname is "Boyfriend." 😂

I've felt really down today...

I've felt really down today, but think that's probably an acceptable way to feel during the apocalypse. I'm going through cycles of getting a lot done and feeling good about it, then days of accomplishing little to nothing and not feeling too good about that. Then days like today - where all I feel is a paralyzing impending sense of doom.

I learned today how shitty people in my town are. I won't be naming names even if you ask me privately, but I know a person who's doctor strongly encouraged her to stay home two days ago because of the symptoms she was showing. It was only today that she was ORDERED to stay home, though, so before that order was put in place she went shopping (for a non-necessary item). And yes, she (and her kids) are showing enough symptoms that they have been tested. I fully expect the number of cases in Calhoun County to go up some more any day now.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well. Genuinely, I do. But please be smart and try your best not to endanger others. It's not everyone for themselves at a time like this. We've already seen that that doesn't work.

I would like to wish a giant happy birthday...

I would like to wish a giant happy birthday to this ray of sunshine in my life. I hate that things are so weird with the pandemic; if they weren't - we would be celebrating however she wanted. But Kira is amazing at making the best of things. This is the most gracious kid I've ever met. We love her like the world and hope we made her feel special today. Happy Birthday, sweet girl! ❤️❤️❤️
