When I woke up I could hear the sound of something breathing. It was very close to me, whatever it was. My bedroom door stays closed when I sleep. My two cats stay in the living room. And yet, there was something breathing. At first, I thought it was my imagination. Or, perhaps, what I … Continue reading A creeeeepy Halloween tale

Appreciating Stillness
I spent my Friday night reading and listening to the sound of rain pounding down outside my windows. No screens. No music. No TV. (Benefits of a Digital or Screen Detox for ADHD Symptoms) Just the tap tap tap tap tap of raindrops on the metal of my oven vent and the shhhhh of water … Continue reading Appreciating Stillness
Friday Joy: It’s Not Laziness, It’s Self-Care
Sometimes I worry about how my life might appear to others if I really let people in and allowed them to see the reality of my day-to-day. My life makes me so happy, though. Take today, for example. I woke up with my alarm at 5:15 and stumbled into the kitchen. Last night, I set … Continue reading Friday Joy: It’s Not Laziness, It’s Self-Care
Friday the 13th and full moon astrology
I didn't get anything written for today because I was watching the debate last night so I'm just sharing Chani Nicholas with you because she's amazing and I love her.

Let’s get witchy
I am drinking today and I know it's out of loneliness. It's one of those times where I'm completely content sitting at home in comfy clothes with a blanket on me cuddling with my cats and don't want to make plans with anyone or leave my house or do anything at all. And yet there's … Continue reading Let’s get witchy
Just a random dose of cat cuteness
This is a story about how much my cats like ham.
Not My Kid
Monster Cat started on anti-anxiety meds on Monday. On both Monday and Tuesday night, he actually slept through the night (or let me sleep through the night, anyway). I had been told that it could take up to 4-6 weeks for the medication to take effect, but I wasn't surprised that it took effect on … Continue reading Not My Kid
My Cat Is On Drugs
My cat let me sleep a grand total of two hours last night. He had some health issues last summer. He's fine now. Somehow in the process of getting better, though, what had been rather endearingly clingy behavior became full-throttle anxiety issues, and now he can't stand to have me out of his sight or … Continue reading My Cat Is On Drugs
