Holiday weekend blues 

This weekend has certainly been an experience. I didn’t want to cancel the trip, but I ended up canceling since I didn’t feel up to spending time in the Florida environment with the heat and humidity and being in a space with many people. I was sad, but I am also cognizant of my limits now. I have had to recognize that I can’t push through this entire time frame as much as I would have. Today, my one highlight is dedicating some time to my pen pal as a good positive activity. I want to spend more time in that creative endeavor, so I’m excited to see how those envelopes come out. On the negative side, I want to get those revised resumes out of the way.

I will see the kitties this afternoon and am excited to spend time with them. I had some terrible news that one of the cats I’ve been catsitting since 2017 has lymphoma, and this cat herself has now started chemotherapy. It’s odd to have this situation arise, and my goal now is to spend as much time with her and give her cuddles and love. She doesn’t deserve this, and I hope her prognosis is good. It’s been odd to have this development coincide with my own, and it’s just made me sad overall. It’s brought on even more feelings of sadness. The good thing is that I have time to spend with her and enjoy her purrs and silly self. We’re just two girlies going through chemotherapy at the same time. What are the chances? No, seriously, what are the chances? Add this to why the universe is so cruel.

I’m taking things day by day, and if anything, the sky has been incredible, and I’m getting some kitty cuddles.
