Mostly processing my adjustment to life after my mom’s death, with cats, food, crochet, and travel mixed in for good measure.
One year ago today Chris & I rescued Wilma (“Panther” 🙄) from the local animal shelter. She was hiding behind her little cot and a fleece blanket. She didn’t move when the staff opened the kennel door but when she nuzzled my hand as I gently rubbed her chin and jowls, I knew she was the one for us.

What Wilma hated this weekend: the guy who came to install our blinds, thunderstorms, empty food bowls.

Crocheted my first mushroom. The only kind of mushroom I like.

Conversations with Wilma haven’t stopped. On the contrary, she’s been much more chatty lately. Bluesky doesn’t permit enough space to accommodate everything she has to say. In a nutshell she’s had thoughts about 1) blinds installers, 2) birds, 3) and a reduction in her dry food. #pets #cats #cute

Had a tough therapy session yesterday. #Grief isn’t what I expected. Can I grieve the lack of loss of negative core beliefs that I thought would *poof* after Mom died? Basically, I feel like hardly anything has changed and that in and of itself is a sad statement.

Been practicing mindfulness lately as part of my job and it’s had unintended consequences. While mindfully sipping coffee, I realized it’s not that great - by myself. It tastes incredible when I’m drinking with friends - which made me think of a Proof episode👇🏼. I’ve since had to resort to creamer…

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Why don’t we do things That we know are good for us?
For approx an 8yr span, I practiced #meditation. Daily. And I stretched and had some qigong in there, too. And then for approx another 8yr span, I fell off the wagon.
This June, I’m determined to reclaim my practice.
I just sat for 20 min.

I’m proud to be related.
I've wracked my brain but I unfortunately cannot recall a single incident where someone was taunted with anti-straight slurs and then gunned down by a heterophobe in cold blood.

Bye, Colorado. Hiked some hikes, ate some eats, and saw some sights. Highlights include: grave of suspected vampire Fodor Glava (DOD 1918), a gratitude temple built in 1972, and of course, Blucifer (not pictured) who killed his creator in 2006.

After a two week hiatus, it felt good to get back out on the trails.
Only 12 more miles till I reach my 75 mile goal!

Wilma’s the best gift @cp-denim2626.bsky.social and I ever gave ourselves.
Her shedding, however, is the unwanted gift that keeps on giving, and keeps our swiffer stock on the rise 🤧

Yesterday, I celebrated Mother’s Day early with @cp-denim2626.bsky.social and his mom. Today, the memory of my mom showed up in books: her and my aunt’s handwritten grades and a thank you card that I had used as a bookmark at one point. Hi, mom 👋🏻 #grief #mourning
