I don't know when this thing got here next to me...

I don't know when this thing got here next to me which is shocking because she almost constantly sounds like a snoring snot monster. I was pretty surprised to see that I was being snuggled by The Worst Cat (Calypso /Club Soda) rather than My Boyfriend (Scar) - who cried outside of my bedroom until I got up. These things are weird.

I spent the day with my plants.

I spent the day with my plants. This stupid thing meowed outside my bedroom until I eventually let him in. Then he came in and rubbed and meowed all over everything. He loved my spikey aloes. He rubbed his cheeks all over those until I had to stop him because he was knocking them over. 😂😂😂 I eventually had to kick him out because he wanted to start nibbling plants and I had stuff to finish.

All of his crying today, for this:  He just wanted to lay on my legs and nap near me. I don't really understand cats, but whatever floats his goat, I guess.

Over the last few days (weeks?)...

Over the last few days (weeks?) I may have offended some people or hurt some feelings.  Generally, I am the first to give the benefit of the doubt and try to find diplomatic solutions to disagreements or problems.  I'm usually asking a million questions and trying to see things from another person's perspective.  While I have simmered down quite a bit I am going to go ahead and make it clear that I AM NOT SORRY.  If I deleted you or upset you, just... understand that my anger and disappointment with you is not unwarranted and that everyone has a breaking point.  I, uh, pretty clearly hit mine.  I'm only human, so forgive me or don't.  If this is an issue we part ways over, then so be it.   If you want to remain friends, that's fine, but I will not forget your words or your silence regarding this issue.

**Black lives matter.**

The End.

In the spirit of all that is happening in the world today...

In the spirit of all that is happening in the world today I thought I'd dig up this old message.  All I had to do was search "race traitor" in my inbox.  I blocked him so that he didn't have the option to unblock and communicate with me again.

Yes, people like this do exist.  And yes, he is from Alabama.  But yeah - go ahead and tell yourself that black people are treated as equals.  Some people don't even view them as the same SPECIES as white people.

Black Lives Matter.  And they deserve far better treatment than they've been getting.

I miss this girl so very much.  She was the sweetest thing and everyone loved her.

She had the most beautiful, freaky eyes.  The ice blue was always obvious, but sometimes the light would catch them just right and they would look red.  One night not long after I adopted her I took her to the fenced area at the side of the house to potty.  I didn't realize she was so smart that she could get out.  I was heading out the front door to take out the trash when a brown blur with red eyes came from around the dark corner and ran right at me!  I screamed and slammed the door shut.  After a split second I realized it was Emma and the porch light had made her eyes glow.  I called her in and all was well, but I felt like a huge idiot for not recognizing my own puppy.  LOL

Six years ago I fostered a pig. 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

Six years ago I fostered a pig.  😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

This is her dreaming in my lap.  Gah, she was a mess.

I wish I could have kept her but when I took her to the vet they told me that she was a 4-week-old farm pig, meaning that she was going to grow BIG.  I did not expect that; I assumed she was someone's lost pet, because why else would there be a pig in my area?  Unfortunately, there was no way I could provide for a pig that would be her size, so I sent her (with the help of quite a few rescue friends) to a sanctuary.  I still think about her often.  In the short time I had her, I got her almost completely house-trained.  She was hilarious.  Touch her any kind of way she didn't like and she squealed like she was being murdered.  What a drama queen.  🤣  I still hope to visit her at the sanctuary one day.  ❤️❤️❤️
