Sighhhhhhhhh. The twins are still here. I have no takers. Some may argue I have not tried very hard but between their sweet little kitty eyes and my kid’s pleading little puppy dog eyes, I have been in a battle for my life over here. Not really for my life but it sure is stressful knowing I do not need to take on two more cats and feeling it isn’t fair to the current cat royalty that allow us to live here but also making no bones about the joy these cute little creatures have brought us this past week. SL and I have laughed and sent countless pictures back and forth of things they are toting around and doing. It has been 8 years since we had a kitten much less two at one time and it has been a forgotten happiness. We haven’t named them yet partly because I am not 100% sure of the sex and also I know once we do, that is it. Some ridiculous, realistically intelligent part of me knows better but the ignorant cannot say no part of me is fighting a good fight. The poor decision part of me wins these head games almost as much as the Atlanta Falcons lose theirs.
My current interests, activities, and thoughts… being lonely. Dreaming about winning the lottery and building an animal sanctuary. Missing playing UNO and other games with David. Watching old sitcoms as background noise. Eating too much fast food. Talking to kittens. Playing with kittens. Taking kittens out for supervised recess. Trying not to think of kitten names. Missing listening to someone talk about his day or his whacky dreams or plans for this or that or having someone listen to me about whatever I want to talk about. Wishing the Falcons were a better NFL team and that David could have seen them win a Super Bowl. Packing up my kitchen cabinets. Donating things I no longer use and don’t need in an effort to minimize stuff. Overthinking. Not being able to decide on a countertop and flooring and realizing I don’t care really because no partner to share it with. Watching IG reels and YouTube Vids about repairing and cleaning cow hooves, the family with the monkeys, The Dogist, and sharing videos with my kid only for her to tell me they are all AI.
