So I know that I have been sharing the struggles that have been the start to my 2020, but things are looking a little brighter as of yesterday. I got the keys to my apartment and was able to start the move in process (carrying heavy totes up to the third floor of a building sucks btw).

My place is super cozy and the bed is so comfortable! I gotta do a lot of cleaning but that will have to wait until Friday because work comes first and I need to get on top of things~

I will add pictures to this thread when I take some tonight~ I want to do before and after pics!

ALSO! Come Friday I will be the proud mama to an almost 10 year old furbaby named Scout~ The thing about this boy is that I have been eyeing him up for about a month but I was waiting to sign and for the all good on my sublet. I met him in person and sat with him for a half hour during my prep period one day because I had no other obligations during this time.

He is the sweetest old man and his bees (purrs) are SO LOUD! He sheds A LOT but I am chill with that. As someone who grew up with many dogs and cats, I am so used to animal hair being everywhere. I didn't want a kitten, as I am gone for about 8-10 hours a day with work, and older animals are my passion. Like, everyone wants kittens, I adopted through a local cat foster project and for a senior cat (over 7 years old) it was a $31 adoption fee. To adopt a KITTEN COSTS $131!!!! They put the price so low for the older animals because they want them to have homes too ;^;



I need help picking out a collar for my dashing old man. I think red is a color that would suit him very well, but contemplating maybe a green one. He is a black and white kitty so there are so many options... I have many saved in an etsy list titled "kitty gifts" lol.


the bow ties are removable in case he doesn't like them


I will continue to scream about amazing life updates on this thread because wow I am so happy? This is the first time I have felt TRULY happy in awhile...

Moving always sucks, but moving to the 3rd floor sucks supremely. On the plus side, it's good exercise I guess.

I LOVE YOUR NEW SON. I think the black and red bow tie would look so cute, but I am also partial to the moon and stars.

@Priestess of Pie: YES LMAO, I got a lot of exercise last night for sure, I even went to bed earlier than usual lol.

RIGHT THOUGH????? Like I was looking at other kitty options for adoption but I kept coming back to him and now he is MY SON!!!!!! Yes, isn't the moon and stars one cute? It also glows in the dark!

@kaichoukai: congrats on the new apartment and new kitty. He is simply adorable. My son and I have 4 days that were all adopted. 2 were adultish and 2 were kitties. One of my friends fosters them and she knows I'll take one in if needed lol btw I love the very top collar posted.

@Xanthan: You have a good heart for taking in four kitties who needed a loving home! I bet they are all very thankful for you and your son~ AND GOSH THAT IS TWO VOTES FOR THE STAR AND MOON COLLAR!

@Priestess of Pie: But I also might just buy two because I can and I wanna spoil my old man because it is what he deserves!

@kaichoukai: I'm really proud of you for getting back on your feet and getting your life together so fast.
Scout is a HANDSOME boy. I'd have to agree, when I first saw him I thought green would suit him well.
Maybe like a elegant dark blue/green. He seems like a dapper man.

@Totalanimefan: I am glad to hear that things are looking up on your end too~ Throwing you hugs and best wishes~

@Booderdooder: Yeah ;; everything came at me so fast but now things feel a lot better and I feel like my work burnout has also started to subside? I feel more motivated and inclined to get what I need done BEFORE I am scrambling to get my shit together last minute (or even after deadlines pass.......)
But yeah! I am going to look at more after I get done with work <3 I am going to stop at a pet store or two on the way home to pick up some more kitty supplies like a bed, pan lines, and mayhaps a scratching post (though I don't know yet if he scratches upwards or downwards...).
