"Maybe it's the way you touch me
With the warmth of the sun
Maybe it's the way you smile
I come all undone
Ooh, babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you"
With the warmth of the sun
Maybe it's the way you smile
I come all undone
Ooh, babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you"

I hate posting pictures of myself, but this is the first photo taken of us the day we got Sammy, April 22, 2020. Sent the pic to my mom to surprise her. Happiest day of my life.

Sammy and Kevin, best buddies, goofing off during happier times. 🌞

I feel like I experienced the worst morning of my 47 years of life. Sammy came to live with us not long after moving into this house & I have never felt such emptiness as getting up today without him there. No Sammy sleeping in a patch of sunlight on the floor. No Sammy on his chair. It's all gone.

Bit mainstream in thought, but it does makes me think of the Behemoth in "The Mist". Sure is a breathtaking photo.

Photo taken of Sammy before vet appointment yesterday. Look at that face! It breaks my heart that at this time we were thinking he just maybe had a tooth or gum infection or at worst an abscessed tooth only to find out he has a mass in his abdomen. My whole world is at a standstill. 😿

Thank you. I sure hope so. He's my baby. 🙏

Haven't been posting much. My Sammy (🐈) hasn't been well so my mind has only been on him.
I wanted to post my final #LearnedLeague standings. I happily managed to not be relegated (had some lucky defense and had an opponent forfeit near the end). Ended up in an okay 14th place, going 10-10-5.

Maybe it's something about this season. I'm feeling all over the place. 😔

😔 Another tie. I'm digging that hole deeper and deeper. Decent defense may have helped me in Rundle C, but here in Rundle B, it's just not cutting it. I just..don't...know...things. Feeling so stressed and ill lately, too, I can't seem to focus. Still, I must keep trying. #LearnedLeague

And thanks to #PARTrivia play, I've learned my Millet. Q2 was an instaget.

I did it! Even with two losses while sitting in 1st, I managed to keep my place, which means a promotion to Rundle B for #LL106. A little nervous about that, but I am happy. See you LLamas in August! 💙 #LearnedLeague

Let's see how long this lasts, right? 🙃 I got lucky on MD11 going 9(5)-7(5). If I lost, I would have shot way down in the rankings. I've not been doing so well in defense, so I have to watch myself b/c it's been coming down to one little point. #LearnedLeague

Almost made it into the Horror Film ML championship. Fourth place is a lonely place to be. 😔 #LearnedLeague

On this day in 2020 Sammy came into our lives. He is my light, my angel, my reason for waking up in the morning. I love him more than anything. 💗🐈😽

Well, that's a wrap for #LearnedLeague #LL104, my rookie season. Despite a lousy TCA of 68, I managed to place 7th in my division. Off to Rundle C I go for next season (which isn't until May! Oh no, more #trivia withdrawal!). 🧠

While SILENT SPRING often gets mentioned on Jeopardy!, Rachel Carson's THE SEA AROUND US was a question tonight (triple stumper, however). Significant books in my personal library. 🌊🍃

We lost one of our truest friends suddenly last night. I am devastated and shocked beyond words. It just doesn't seem real. RIP, Nick. We will miss you so much. 🪄💔
