Anyone who has read my blogs knows I have a strong love for animals, finding it easy to communicate and form bonds with them. I have mentioned several times I started feeding a couple of what appear to be feral outside cats a few months ago. During the first few days, only two cats were noticed on the front porch, so naturally, I began talking to and feeding them. To my surprise, it seems like the cat is out of the bag, pun intended, and currently, there are between six and eight kitty visitors who come for a good meal at least twice a day. Word has spread quickly through the neighborhood kitty community about the house that always has food, fresh water, a box with a soft towel for them to get warm on the colder nights, and an outdoor kitty house so they can stay comfortable and dry on the many rainy days and nights. Between the adorable cat house and a place to sleep, it should not be surprising numerous cats have adopted our porch as their new home.

From what I have seen, the outside cats get along with each other, at least for the most part. Thankfully, there have only been a couple of altercations between the outside kitty gang. Mostly, the disagreements witnessed were a lot of unhappy and unimpressed kitty language. The cat I know is a boy who is a super sweet tomboy and is typically accommodating with the gang of frequent visitors, but I think it is because they are female, and he could be the father of some of them. One night, there was a visitor I had never seen before. As the new cat ate, the well-known tomboy sniffed around before both cats communicated their unsettling feelings, and the tomboy chased the new cat away. I think the new cat is a boy, and the known cat acts territorial because he is convinced, the porch belongs to him. He marked his territory and only shared with cats of his choosing.

Now that the neighborhood cats have spread the word about where to get a meal, the only thing I can do is to oblige with their demands.  Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the perspective, I cannot say no, turn cats away, or let the precious cats go hungry because they deserve more and better than that kind of life. I know many people are fine having their cats indoors and outdoors, but too much can happen to them in the wild. Our cats have always been strictly indoors only because I would worry too much and cause myself to have a heart attack if they did not come home for days. I worry now when I do not see the outside cats for more than one day. I might be wrong keeping our cats prisoner in the house, but at least I know they are safe, and it is a cushy prison.

Not only do we have between six and eight cats we feed outside, but we have two inside cats as well. There is at least one possum and one groundhog who eat the cat food on the porch. It seems like we are running a smaller version of a zoo. If I had my way and my husband and two cats would allow it, I would have a house full of animals. I almost think it would be easier to convince my husband that the two cats because the cats can be a little moody and combative, but overall they are sweet little furry angels. Some people want a house full of children, but we have always treated our cats like they were our children, so the only differences are the number of legs and worrying about what those with two-leg children have to deal with.

There are billions of people living in the world, and for reasons I will never understand, struggle with getting along with each other. As I have watched the interactions between our cats and those outside, they have proven to get along with each other. If different animals can get along, why can’t humans get along with each other? Why can wild animals accept one another, but humans cannot do the same? Differences might be confusing to some, but should differences not be intriguing? Maybe if we learned the way others live in different cultures, it would broaden our horizons and teach us something new. Many are scared of what they do not know or understand, but if we approach this with an open and accepting mind, maybe we could all get along and live in peace and harmony.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I shared and you have a wonderful weekend. How do you prefer to spend your Saturday? It is the first day of the weekend, so I hope you spend it doing what brings you the most happiness. No matter how you decide to spend your weekend, remember you do not have to spend the weekend doing anything you do not want to do. People might try to pressure you to do something in your heart you have no interest in, so stand up for yourself and do not allow anyone to pressure you. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

Thoughts for the week

On April 10th, it was two months since I watched the bright and sparkly light in our precious cat Sundance’s blue eyes fade dark. He fought so hard for weeks until the very end of his life, and his little lungs gave in. During the last two months, we have tried holding onto the happiness and love this furry angel brought into our lives, which has provided us with some comfort but does not mend our broken hearts. In every inch of our home, there is another memory of Sundance. The place in the dining room where he cried five times and the place in the living room where he took his last breath still hurts my heart. When I would walk through our front door or return upstairs from the basement, I still looked for him because he met me at the door, but sadly, he was not there☹. I continue hoping what happened at 6:46 PM on February 10th, has been a long nightmare, and I will wake up to Sundance’s beautiful face. The loss of Sundance will continue to feel like a terrible and endless nightmare until I learn to cope better with the loss.

During the weeks I knew Sundance was gravely ill, I divided my attention between ensuring he was as comfortable and loved as possible and doing well in my classes. Everyone deals with sadness in different ways. Some people may decide to become overly lost in depression. Others cannot handle their emotions, so they repress their emotions and practice avoidance to an unhealthy level. Unfortunately, my way of dealing with challenging and emotional situations is avoidance and repression. I stayed by Sundance’s side for hours and observed him so I could help him move around and obsessed over his breathing and giving him his medications at the same time daily.

When we lost Chloe on February 7, 2020, it was painful because we were hurting but saw Sundance grieve. He was the type who loved everyone and did not understand where his best friend went. This was why we adopted two female cats, which were only supposed to be one, but the girls were sweet and loved each other, and we did not want to separate them. It does not seem the girls are upset and have carried on with their silly antics. The only change I have noticed with the girls is they are not eating their wet food as much as they used to. Maybe they are still adjusting to the loss and change.

One of the outside feral cats I have been feeding was pregnant. Mama cat continues to come around to eat but has not brought the kittens by yet. I am very excited to see her babies when they are ready to be out and about to eat cat food. I have said I want one of her kittens, especially if she has a male, but the more I think about it, I am unsure if I am mentally and emotionally ready. I think it would be better to wait until I can go more than a week without breaking down in tears, be done with school, and have a job. I cannot guarantee our female cats would be happy about another cat, especially the part Maine Coon, Willow. She is loving and sweet but not too friendly towards other animals. She hissed at me for having the scent of another animal on me.

The healing process when you experience a loss takes time. Unfortunately, there is not a guide to teach you how to heal faster. Many people may not understand how painful it has been losing Sundance, but it has hurt my heart and soul. I love all animals and prefer to be surrounded by animals any day of the week because they are easier to get along with and understand. Do I think there will come a day when we will be over losing Sundance? Maybe, but there will always be something that brings up a good and painful memory. Do I think we will get another male cat someday? The jury is still out on that because I do not know. If we do, the kitty will not be able to replace Sundance because that boy is irreplaceable.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you had a wonderful week and are looking forward to a weekend doing what makes you happiest. If you decide to do nothing over the weekend, that is okay because you need to consider yourself! I rarely do anything over the weekend because I prefer to stay home where I know I am safe and can avoid unfriendly humans, and I love being around our sweet cats. As always, I look forward to reading your comments and will respond as quickly as possible. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love♥, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

Good afternoon and another day when Mother Nature forgot to take her meds😉! I realize it is Spring but, the weather continues to change drastically to what appears to be by the minute. Today, there will be a high of around 60 degrees, but next week will range from 50 degrees to almost 80 degrees. Besides how warm it can get, it rains way too much where I live. The city I live in appears to idolize Seattle and tries to be as much like that area of the country as possible, which I do not enjoy. I do not know about anyone else, but the rain causes my pain to intensify. The weekend is not over yet, and several hours remain to do something enjoyable😊! How has your weekend been so far?

I know I mentioned before one of the classes I was taking was over, and I got an A in the class, but I still had two other classes. I am happy to say another class is complete, and once again, I got an A😊! The final class I need to complete is Anatomy & Physiology, and I hope to have it finished with another A in the next couple of weeks! The medical coding class I already finished was not enough to be able to become a certified coder, so I am working on pursuing the class that will enable me to do so! Of course, the class is longer, but I think I could still work (once I get a job) and do the class because I already have the basics down!

Since losing our cat, Sundance, we have missed him daily. There is not a minute that passes during the day when the memories of him do not arise, but I still find myself feeling at fault for his passing♥. I tortured myself after Chloe passed away with the same guilt because I felt I should be able to care for the precious cats and never let anything happen to them. I know I am not God and cannot control or fix everything, but this does weigh on my mind and heart. I will never understand why certain things happen during our lives and why loving animals must be taken away from us. How is it possible they have fulfilled their purpose in the world when they still have people missing and needing them?

Thank you for visiting my site today! I hope you have a lovely and relaxing day! Some days, we need to try putting our needs ahead of anything else because WE matter! Many of us spend our time taking care of others, which can cause us to neglect ourselves. I am very guilty of this, but it has always been in my nature. Today, I am going to attempt to finish another chapter in the A&P class because I am trying to finish it before the other Medical Coding class starts in May or when I finally get a job! I have many goals and I am trying to complete as many as I can! Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love♥, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Tuesday Thoughts

Happy Tuesday, y’all! I hope you have been doing well and your week started the best way possible. What have you been doing for the past few days? I woke up on Sunday with a nasty migraine, and nothing helped it, which was frustrating. I am not sure what triggered the migraine, but then again, I never know 100% what triggers them, or I would avoid them as much as possible. Even though I was battling with a migraine, I still applied for a few jobs, took my A&P quiz, and scored a 100! Logically, I should have avoided the computer, but when I do not keep my mind busy, I start down a dark path with my thoughts. Sometimes, I think I am my worst enemy because I overthink everything, spiral down a rabbit hole, and cannot find my way out.

It has been over a month since we lost our cat, Sundance♥, and it still does not feel real. Even though it is not often, anytime I leave the house and come back home, I expect to have him meet me at the door, as he always did. When I am downstairs, either doing my classwork or spending time with my husband while he is working (he does not have to work very hard-working nights😉), I expect to have him meet me at the door with a curious look on his face indicating he wants to know where I was. Although I know he is no longer here with us, it always hits me hard and makes me emotional♥. I keep wondering when the tears will stop, but I do not expect this to happen because I still get emotional when I think about Chloe, and she passed away four years ago.

Love♥ can be wonderful but causes too much pain. I love♥ our cats but cannot say I would get another if we did not already have two girls because I cannot go through the loss again as it is too painful. They bring us so much love, happiness, and laughter, but the pain when they are gone is terrible. I wish there were visiting hours in Heaven because it would be great to see loved ones lost and our loving cats, but this is not a possibility. There are many days I could use some great advice from my grandfather♥, who passed away in 2013 because he could always make the worst days better with a few words. I do not know if we see our loved ones again, but I do hold onto the hope it will happen because it will make all the struggles and pain in life easier to tolerate.

Unfortunately, the older I get, the more I realize the levels of selfishness are high, and I cannot understand this. What causes a person to be overly selfish and self-absorbed? Was it something they learned during childhood, or were they born that way? The only thing that helps me is knowing people come into our lives for a reason, and they do not have to remain a constant in our lives. We can choose who we keep in our lives, and when a person only brings negativity into our lives, we do not need to continue to communicate with the person. We have the power and control to decide who we allow in our lives, and anyone we keep should bring positivity or benefits. However, we should also try to bring positivity and benefits to other’s lives as well because we can make a difference! I have also learned that some friends come and go, but real friends are constant, no matter how many years pass.

What helps you through hard times in life? Do you journal your thoughts, or is there someone you can talk to about anything without fear of judgment? Do bottle your feelings up inside until you burst with emotions? Of course, there are positive ways to handle difficult times, and everyone is different, so whatever works for you is great! I think my way of handling challenging times by bottling my emotions up is not the best, but I prefer not to cause anyone else stress or worry. I talk to my cats about everything, but one of our cats does not handle my tears well. Sundance was the best listener and did not get overly upset if I cried. He was the BEST boy in the world!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I promise to try keeping up better with my posts and responding to comments, which I have failed miserably at lately. I hope you found some meaning in what I have shared today and that it resonates with how you feel or have felt. Even though we have only made it through one day of the week so far, I hope you are doing well and having a good week. As always, I look forward to your comments and will respond as quickly as possible! Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love♥, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Midweek Thoughts

I know the week just started, but today is Wednesday, and we are halfway through the week😊! The shorter weeks always seem to start with a bang, or maybe I should say chaos. Everyone who was off Monday is trying to stay caught up and never get too far behind, so they put extra pressure on others. The days will carry on, and time will keep passing, and no matter how much we all want to stay on top of things, there is never going to be a reason to be rude and overly pushy to get what you want. Do you agree, or do you see things differently? I have always tried to deal with people the same way I prefer to be treated, which is kind and understanding, but I suppose I could be incorrect.

Long weekends are great, right? Unfortunately, they can add extra stress and pressure. At the halfway point of this week, we still need to understand how to behave reasonably and respectfully. It sometimes requires taking a step back and remembering how to handle ourselves in the best way possible. We need to learn that we need to understand there may come a time during our lives when we must have the courage to try new things because something new might be what is necessary. For reasons I will never understand, some people seem to be terrified of changes. Why would anyone be afraid of change or trying something new? Is it only because people fear the unknown, or is there another reason?

How did your week start? Has everything been optimistic, or have you experienced more negativity? If your week started negatively, you do have the power to change this. Negativity can be contagious, but so can optimism. Which of these sounds better to infect the world? I would prefer if optimism would infect our entire world because it would be happier and easier to deal with😊!  Who enjoys being around a person who focuses on the negative in life? The negative people we encounter might be unhappy with something in their personal lives and want to bring as many people down as they can, and this is sad. I am unsure if it is possible, but we might be able to teach them something new about happiness!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you found the quote I shared inspiring and encouraging. I look forward to your comments because I am sure they will be amazing, and I will respond as quickly as possible. This is a shorter week, and I hope your week is going well and only gets better with each day that passes until the weekend returns. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Random Saturday Thoughts

Another week has passed, and I am still deciding if I will try again to do another writing competition. I know what I want to write about, but each time I sit down and try to start, I find myself trapped in my memories! I think the reason for this being difficult is because the topic is painful to write, and even more painful to remember the details I have tried so hard to forget. This competition is a personal essay, but I think this topic might be too personal, and I do not believe I have the strength to do this. Many things we have gone through during our lives never leave our minds, no matter how hard we try to forget, but I believe the topic I was considering writing about is too much for me. I guess we shall see what happens. Is it worth bringing up those memories for a writing competition, or would it be best to leave those memories in the past where they belong?

I am unsure, but my pain levels have been considerably higher for the past couple days. It is hard to say if this additional pain is happening because of the extreme heat or stress, I am causing myself. It could be a combination of both, but I am ready for it to end. The weather in the south, where I live, has been ridiculously high, and heat always causes me additional issues. It does not help that we do not have central air in our house, but we have two window units. The window units help some, but not as much central air conditioning would. I can admit that I have felt increased stress, but it is because of things I wish I had done differently at work. I have always been harder on myself than anyone else could be, and I know that is not a good way to be, but I have been this way for as long as I can remember.

Do you have a favorite season? My favorite season is Autumn, and I only enjoy Summer if I can be at the beach. Summer is way too HOT, but the ocean breeze helps. In my opinion, the temperatures during Autumn are not too hot or too cold, but perfect! Hot weather and Multiple Sclerosis do not get along, and tend to create massive issues, which can be nearly debilitating. Considering I have lived with Multiple Sclerosis for more than half of my life, I should be used to all the pain issues, but I cannot say that I am. Most pain I can deal with and try to ignore, but when the pain is in my head, I am unable to ignore the pain or function like normal.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed what I shared, and I would love the chance to read your comments. The weekends are so short, so I hope you can enjoy it to the fullest. My plans for the rest of the weekend are to try to relax, stay where it is cooler, and make a final decision regarding the writing competition. Another thing I hope to do is to read more of the 23rd book in James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club series. If you have not read any of James Patterson’s books, I highly recommend it. He is a phenomenal author with talents I cannot even grasp. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Good afternoon, and happy Sunday😊! I hope you are enjoying your weekend and you have been able to do something that brought you happiness! The weekends can help prepare us for the upcoming week or at least as much as we can be prepared. We never can know definitively what the following week will have in store for us, but we can hope for the best. Challenges can arise at any moment, but we must have faith and believe we are strong enough to handle them because we are! One of the biggest challenges I face in the summer is the heat, and there seem to be limited ways to escape from it.

What have you been doing this weekend? I made the mistake yesterday of going outside to repot a few plants. I thought doing this early in the day would be better and not nearly as HOT, but I was wrong. Of course, living with Multiple Sclerosis, I know better than to get overheated because it can cause extreme issues. Heat intolerance is very real for those with Multiple Sclerosis, and it is a miserable to deal with. After I repotted four of my plants, I felt awful and stayed inside for the remainder of the day. I also drank more water than normal and snacked on ice pops because this was the only way to cool my body temperature.

I have always felt the best way to spend the weekend is to rest on Saturday, and do as little as possible, but take care of what needs to be done on Sunday. I think many people do the opposite and use Sunday as their restful day. Everyone is different, and what works for one person will not work for another. What is the best way for you to spend the weekend? There is no right or wrong with this! Do you enjoy summer, and do you think it is hotter than it was last year? I am sure I am exaggerating because I always think it is too hot!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared, and I look forward to reading your comments. I will respond to all comments as quickly as I can. Yes, the weekend is close to being over, but we do still have several hours left and I hope you enjoy them to the fullest. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Tranquil Tuesday

What does Tuesday mean? This means that we survived another Monday! How has your week been so far? Yes, I know it has only been one day, but at least we are getting closer to the weekend! I know many people do not care much for Monday, but they are not that bad if you keep things in perspective. Each day should be seen as a blessing because it means we are still alive and here to keep moving through this life. Of course, nothing in life is a guarantee, but we can make the most of it and not give up. I think it is important to appreciate each day, and each person in our lives because we do not know what life has in store for us.

Today, I want to help add calmness and peacefulness to your lives. It is easy to get lost in the chaos and forget what is meaningful and important in our lives. I know some situations can be challenging to smile through, but does it not make you feel happier and more at peace when you see someone else smile? Each smile can be contagious, and if we could spread something that offers so much happiness, would that not be better than the alternative? Once you start smiling, you will end up being happier, and it is not that difficult if you put forth an effort!

I have been thinking a lot lately, and that can be scary because my mind will run into overdrive. I think about my late grandfather and if he would be proud of the person that I have become. I think about our cat, Chloe, whom we had for almost 13 years, who passed away on my lap. I think about one of our other cats, Lexi, who I had stayed up with all night and still went to work the following day because she had been sick, but she passed away before I could make it home from work. I think about my husband’s late grandparents, who were two of the most loving and amazing people in the world. I wonder if there will come a day when we will all be reunited or if that is just a fairytale. Life is fragile and often taken for granted, but we should try to eliminate this aspect of life and appreciate everything more each day!

Thank you for visiting my site today! I know I got a little carried away in the previous paragraph, but at least I warned you that it is never a good thing when my mind drives too deep into my thoughts! I hope that you enjoyed what I have shared and that I provided you with some peace in this chaotic world. I would love to read your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

It is late Sunday afternoon, and the weekend will be ending too soon☹, but I do hope you have been able to enjoy the weekend as much as possible. For reasons that I am unaware of, I had low energy this weekend. I tried doing as little as possible, so I would be ready for the workweek beginning tomorrow. Of course, I did a few loads of laundry because it had to be done. I had every intention of finishing a blog post that I have been working on for a few days, but I was unable to finish it yet. However, I do promise that I will get this post done soon because it is an important topic to me. I will give you a little information about what I am writing about, as this was inspired by my cousin, whom I am not close to all, but the post will be about family dynamics.

How do you recover from a long week, and the changes with the weather? I know the weather always causes me issues, which I blame on Multiple Sclerosis. I do not like the warmer weather and the temperatures have already been too high for me and it is not even summer yet! How crazy is it when the temperatures have already reached the HIGH 80s? This tends to worry me about what to expect for summertime. There are many things I do not understand about Multiple Sclerosis, but one of many is why changes in the weather cause so many problems. I mean, one would think living with an incurable illness that is also unpredictable would be enough of a punishment, but of course, not because then the weather wreaks havoc on my body!

The good news is that next week, in the United States, we are going to have a 3-day weekend! I am thrilled to be able to have three days off work because I need this, and I am sure many others do as well! Please do not get me wrong, I do enjoy my job, and even though I will end up saying three days off was not enough, I am looking forward to the days off! I think it would be amazing if we could work four ten-hour days every week and get three days off😊! I think it would provide a better work-life balance. I say this, but I also think it would be better to have animals run the country because they are fair and loyal. Animals care about and love others more than most humans do, so I think it would make for a better world. Heck, my cats would do much better than any president we have ever had!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope your weekend has been amazing, and that you have enjoyed what I have shared today. I would love to read your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Of course, I am not feeling myself right now, but I will still do my best. I know the weekend was short, but I hope you are ready for the new week to begin tomorrow. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Thoughts in my mind

Posted on by

When I was younger, politics was never a topic I had any interest in following. It was not clear to me when and if any politician was being sincere, truthful, or had the best interests of anyone besides themselves in mind. As I have gotten older and slightly less blind or ignorant to the way our political system operates, the only thing that appears crystal clear is the vast majority of our political leaders have forgotten what it means to be honest. It does not matter what the party is, they all have one general thing in common, and it is not the best quality, as it is complete and utter dishonesty.

Political rhetoric has been an overwhelming and toxic predicament in the United States for far too long. These issues should never have escalated to the extreme levels it has over the last several years. It seems unheard, of that, anyone can either agree or at least agree to disagree on many of the HOT topics flooding the country. None of the differences of opinion should create turmoil and animosity, especially among family and friends. Life is too short, and tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone, so we should avoid disagreements that offer no resolutions and only endanger feelings.

We will always encounter people that have different opinions, and we should not feel like we cannot have a normal and civilized conversation with these people. Chances are, you are already aware of the opinions of your family, friends, and even though it may be forbidden to discuss at work, your co-workers as well. Understanding things like this in advance can help you avoid any topics where a potential debate is inevitable.

I think everyone must understand that there is nothing sinister about being friendly and accepting of those from an opposing political party. It is natural and normal to have beliefs, and even feel strongly about those beliefs. It will not be a surprise to anyone that has read my previous posts, I am not and never will be a supporter of Donald Trump. I do not agree with the way he behaves or his treatment of others, but that is who he is and who I am. I also do not care much for the current President. It is 2023 and we need to learn to be more accepting and not continue to behave the same as many did decades ago. With the years comes change and therefore, I believe we are in dire need of someone younger and more accepting of the changes.

To get away from politics, I have so many questions that I do not believe have answers. Why are people so scared of those that are different? Should people not be free to love, even if they love differently than others do? Why should a woman not be the ONLY one with rights to her body? Why should the government or state have control over a woman’s body? Why in the richest country in the world do we have so many that are homeless? Why in a country that believes they have rights over a woman’s reproductive system, are there so many children without a family, food, or everything else every child deserves? Why, in a country that says they have the best medical schools in the world, does mental health go unnoticed? Why is there limited help for those battling addiction and more opportunities to become addicted? Why in a country with supposedly the topic ranked scientists are cures for diseases not progressing?

I do understand that some people reading this post will not agree with me because of their beliefs, and I can accept that. I can respect others’ beliefs as long as they can respect mine. Even though I do understand, many disagree with abortion, I would like to understand why. If a woman is raped, why should she be forced to keep her rapist’s baby even though adoption can be an option, why should she be forced to carry the baby for 9 very long months? Why should anyone feel shamed for loving someone of the same sex? Who cares, love does not damage anyone else’s life. I have hoped for over 20 years for a cure for Multiple Sclerosis or cancers that have taken people I loved away from me.

I hope you have enjoyed your weekend. Yes, I already know how incredibly short it has been and it is slightly upsetting that the workweek will begin again tomorrow, but maybe the upcoming week will be promising. Next week is going to be a little longer because I have a follow-up appointment with my pain management doctor and I will be working longer days to make up the time I will miss, but I do hope it will be a good week.

Thank you for visiting my site today. Whether you agree or disagree with me, I would still enjoy reading your comments and I will respond as quickly as possible. Today is another rainy day where I live, which always makes my pain my higher. Unfortunately, where I live it rains a lot and I know I just need to deal with it the best way that I can. I hope your last day of the weekend is enjoyable and relaxing. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
