Fail.
I tried mixing the high-cal powder with water to make sort of a broth (it’s a really pungent chicken flavor) and syringe it into Smoochie. The syringe jammed, spraying brother everywhere, and Smoochie decidedly will not let me near him with another one. Grateful to have chlorhexidine wipes.

Smoochie is not doing well. He’s still not running a fever, and at this point I wish he would to kill some of this off. I got the high-cal food additive and he licked at the food but didn’t eat more than a bite. I’m running the shower now to make him a steam room for a while.

Exhausted. But I took out one of my toes on a box today, in broad daylight. So I need to finish unpacking already.

For Christmas this year I’d really like for everyone to show up for food charities like we rallied in November.

Hunger knows no season and is always a crisis.

Nice! Friend reached out and recommended a cat calorie booster powder! I only have the gel and it’s too sticky along with Smoochie’s snot so he won’t eat it. Maybe this will help!

I am exhausted. Work has been one so far today (and I’m pulling a 12 hour shift). But…SUCCESS! I’ve tried every break to get Smoochie to eat again and he finally is!
Please keep that good energy flowing. My dude is still blowing snot bubbles and sneezing, so the hill is still upward right now 🙏

It’s also World AIDS day!
Call your reps and demand the US fund research and aid again ASAP. Over 300,000 people in Africa are estimated to have died already this year due to the funding/aid cuts by the US.
Know your status! HIV & AIDS are treatable. But it starts with knowing. No more stigma!

Exactly this.
But I can’t imagine why the Dem establishment wouldn’t have jumped on the vision of passionate new voices who better rep the kinds of Americans they’ve been trying to understand for decades, except…welp, we also saw what happened when those brilliant Black & Brown women showed up & tried to save us

Breakfast pie has been eaten. Sugared plum & peach. The “sugared” part is a sort of jelly that tastes like a toned down version of the red candy on candy apples. It is good overall, the plum and peach textures and flavors are very good. But I think I would have preferred just a peach syrup.

All I ask for my birthday today is that Smoochie gets better. He stopped eating yesterday, but I got him to eat a bit this morning and forced some water in him to break up the post-nasal mucus that seems to be making him most miserable.
Good energy much appreciated 🙏❤️🫂

Something else I love about this new place: there’s no booze in it.
I didn’t realize until thanksgiving how much it stressed me out to see alcohol every single time I went into the kitchen for the last 3.5+ years.
My own home is no longer a trigger or temptation to break my sobriety. That’s huge!

Favorite band is covering their very first album in their spring tour. They’re also bringing cards against humanity with them.

My birthday is Monday. I have a pie to have for breakfast and I’m going to try to get myself out of the house tomorrow to go to the BIG small biz/creators’ market of the season to “window shop” and take photos. Or I might stay in bed, because I’m exhausted.

The most ADHD thing I’ve done since moving in: can’t decide where to hang the white board contact paper so I can use it to make lists, so I haven’t made any lists and I desperately need them to survive.

Btw: Mercury is no longer retrograde, but we are still in the “shadow” for another 7 days.
Meaning shit is still gonna be acting up, but hopefully on a less catastrophic level, bc JFC…

Just remembered I have chips & dip, and ginger snaps & frosting, and I hate the universe a little less (yes, I’d already eaten and had water.)

Just putting this in the ether:
I’m not healing this winter. I’m surviving. Don’t come at me with any lessons, tough or otherwise. There will be no letting go, moving on, or regulating for the next month, at least.
I’m setting this boundary with the universe.
