Got all my Christmas gifts, plus wrapping paper and cards and bags, from the local thrift store for $13! That’s for 5 people and a dog 💜
Go check out your local thrift stores and small businesses! You can’t get that kind of deal off Temu!

I asked an online autism cat community what they thought about me getting Mila, and all the responses that say something like, “You going to the shelter in the first place was Leah using all her spirit to bring you two together” make me so happy 😻

Tearing up at the thought that maybe last year all Mila wanted for Christmas was a warm home 🥺
This cat has no idea how loved she’s going to be!

Mila had a great first night, except I had forgotten about the 2am post-poop zoomies. I’m also going to have to trim those claw nails at some point, but other than that she was content to sleep on the bed with me! 😻
Today we’re going to let her explore the living room.

Welcome, Mila. I know Leah sent us to each other, and I hope you have the best life from now on 💕

Was at PetSmart for the first time since Leah died. Mila comes with a coupon book so I’m waiting until tomorrow for some purchases, but I wanted to get her a “welcome home” treat. I heard Leah’s voice in my mind whisper, “Spoil her, mama!”
I hope Mila’s as excited as I am about it tomorrow!

Mila (my new cat) needs a middle name! I’m thinking she’ll share with Leah.
Mila Marshmallow.
What do we think? Or, what’s another sweet that has a nice soft connotation to it?

She’s got a most curious little face.
Had a bit of a cry over Leah again. Rewatched old videos and my heart broke again - and also realizing the astronomical strength it took to do what I did this summer when I moved away weeks after her death and changed everything!

Please keep your fingers crossed for me. This is Meela, she’s a shelter cat with a VERY similar backstory to Leah. Apparently she’s also the shelter sweetheart!
I’m meeting her next week once I’m well and I hope it works out. LOOK AT HER, she looks like she needs some good love.

Because I’ve lost smell, I’m terrified that means I’ll have other neurological symptoms with Covid. Hopefully not!
But I think the one I’m most concerned about is losing empathy, which hasn’t been proven but I can see a pattern of: people get Covid, people turn fascist. Please tell me I’m wrong!

Dammit I caught Covid 😢
Apart from feeling tired, the thing that made me test was not being able to smell my coffee.
Thankfully this week is all optional classes and online work, so I can stay home and rest.
It’s my first time! Tips?

I guess all I’m really trying to do here is to live a life so that Yo Yo Ma might take notice 🫶🏼
It’s always so much fun explaining to people who I look up to and why!

normalise serving chocolate milk at parties
I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!

I learnt how to forgive my dad before I learnt the extent of his neglect. I was in my 20s before I realized most parents have an interest in their kids and don’t just see them as burdens.
I don’t think I can ever forgive Christianity for that.
