If I had the money I would adopt a bunch of kitties in a heartbeat. I don’t, however. Had to really cut back on expenses after Tesla passed away last year.

I really miss having them around. They brought my life so much joy.

The in-laws dogs are nice, but it’s not the same as a cat.

Think I derped up in a recent post and said I had 9 nieces under the age of 21. It’s only 8, unless someone gets pregnant and has another baby.

Heh, there’s so many it’s easy to lose track! 😅🤣

So the wonderful thing about my family is we stopped doing the big Christmas give-to-everyone thing a long time ago. We just do the get-together or a White Elephant Christmas gift exchange, so one item from the thrift store or handmade. Much easier on the budget, and fun!

They do, fairly well.

Huh. Didn’t know they were doing something like that. Kinda curious about other platforms. Thankfully it’s irrelevant to me because I never ever streamed and have no intention of doing so. I don’t even have an account anymore, closed it over a year ago.

Huh. So probably a good idea to go out west to visit my sisters. Guess I should talk it over with the spouse and siblings and see what they say.

Here's to everyone reading this who has had to build their trauma recovery from scratch, who isn't the "perfect survivor," who feels like you've been doing this all alone, w/ no one on your side or believing in you but you.

I see you. I believe in you. I'm one of you.

You do not have to "believe in yourself" to do the trauma recovery stuff. Don't think you have to completely overhaul how you think & feel about yourself to take baby steps toward realistic self-care & safety today.

Just start where you are. Focus on the next micro choice.
