      I’m putting a movie on and doing some sewing

      and if the weather clears a bit more, beach ( I am going crazy wanting to see what has washed up on the big beach )

    Well, rest wasn’t on the cards. I heard crying meows over the rain and opened the door to a familiar figure. Now I know for sure he’s left out all night in the rain and not going inside/home.

    He walked through the house sniffing (including Melbcat’s bed) then he ate from her untouched bowl and rubbed on the wall. I let him out the back to feed him under the tarp and show him the sheltered beds.

    grief

    Ugly cried while he bunted me because it feels like I’m betraying my late cat by trying to step up for this one. I’m so not ready for another cat even if there was a way to keep him. I haven’t even processed Melbcat’s loss and am just wishing I had her back. I miss how we used to be and don’t know what I’m going to do with/about the new fella.

    I know I’m being a stresshead. Nobody is forcing me to help this cat. But I do feel responsible for him seeing the level of neglect and am attached to him so feel like I’m being rushed into another caretaking situation. Just rebounding and replacing my treasured girl. And like these circumstances are pushing me into “moving on” before I’ve had a chance to grieve. I’m feeling everything so strongly right now.

    cleaning

    I wasn’t expecting this and hadn’t even picked up the floor like I planned. I showered and put my clothes in the wash then sprayed the carpet and objects where he walked with Glen 20 and put the floor junk in a tub. Then did a quick vacuum and mop of his path (disinfectant wipe on the wall) then sprayed Tinaderm.

    He’s run off into the night now so I’m going to tuck up in bed until the wash finishes. I’ll have to do the rest of the cleaning tomorrow. I may have to really look at the budget too.

    Another suburban Saturday.

    Bit of shopping, beard trim, gym, nap.

    Take out for dinner. Couple drinks, bit of puff puff.

    Comfort movie on tv.

    Hope y’all having a good evening.

    Life can be shit, but gotta enjoy the little fine times.

    Also daughter got a part time job recently and her boss loves her.

    We’re so happy for her and she’s feeling over the moon.

    And we take the train home together during the week (from uni and work). She fell asleep on my shoulder this week and felt super embarassed later. Probably first time in like 10 years she fell asleep on me.

    Anyway… rambling in a good mood

    Remembering Melbcat. She was an absolute sweetheart and also a hilarious prankster. I just want her back

    Lately I feel like I’m drowning. Slogging through life with all the responsibility to deal with it but none of the control required. Can’t a bitch get a break?

    spoiler

    This grief counseling is likely going to consist of ✨10 sessions under a mental health plan ✨ (with out of pocket fees 💸)

    I’m going to borrow a weighted blanket and see if that acts as some kind of thunder shirt, and am considering a cheap lava lamp for night. No idea if these things help or just yoink money

      dammit I was thinking of you just the other day when I was watching Project Hail Mary

      there’s the whole waking up from stasis to find you are alone in space, meeting aliens and talking with the ship computer, in the case of PHM Grace and Rocky calling the ship Mary

      It’s the worst.

      It’s a shame that rugs are hard to clean and a trip/slip hazard. (I know washable ones exist but don’t know how well they pull up and also a decent size would be too large or heavy for the machine)
