well, today I am a day late in posting… sorry. I’ve truly been overwhelmed with life…. increasingly so over the past several years… and in many ways… it’s been coming to a head. I find that most days, I am almost crippled with anxiety, and am unable to do much of anything… especially things more on the creative end. I am exhausted.

Today was a day of (metaphorically and literally) opening up the doors and airing things out. The raised garden bed; although small, is coming along with little shoots of growth.

I also made a HUGE pot of home-made chili…

AND… today we celebrated 2 months since Bugsy’s GOTCHA DAY. He is doing so very well. He is beginning to eat a little more; and he has ever so slowly, getting more active and more animated. Today he was so happy to have a full tummy and to snuggle in his blanket… that he made these purring like noises. So cute.
