I’m feeling untethered lately. I’m trying to figure out the reason but I also mainly think it’s just the state of the world and the perpetual loneliness that just lives in my core. Wondering what impact I have on the world and if people feel better for knowing me.

I’ve been working on a million different projects all at once around the house and I’m not sure if that helps or hinders the feeling of floating away. My brain just has so much swirling around inside of it and can’t prioritize any of it specifically.

Here’s a few animal photos from this last week that make me happy to look at.

This last one specifically is extra special to me. This is our newest kitty. We got her back in December. The kids found her through pet finder and convinced us (very easily) that she was meant to be our kitty. We drove a couple hours round trip to get her from the animal rescue in Kingston, NY and she is a skittish baby, considering she was feral that was brought in as a trap and release but they felt she could be socialized into a home. And she has done great here but has never sought me out to sit on my lap. The other day she ran over as soon as I sat down and immediately got comfortable. It was a special moment and I’m glad that pulling out my phone for a photo didn’t scare her off.
