I swear, it’s the perfect therapy lizard already. When you talk to it, it looks directly at you and cocks its head in agreement from time to time.

I mentioned to my son that I was thinking about a cat and he sent me the following picture. I can’t keep a kitten entertained alone, which means I’ll be taking two.

Silver/gray striped tabby in a nursing box with 4 one week old kittens nursing. The kittens are much darker than their mother.

Paired images.

Stranger Things gif shows a multitude cloudy background (blue,pink,purple) and a silhouette of Max (a feminine form) leaping above the words “running up that hill.”

A green/mauve border around a poem
Courage and love

go hand in hand,

and it will take both

to see us through

the times ahead.

But we are capable

of such courage

and love, so let us

be put to the test.

#ChristmasCat This is my grand kitten Toothless being a *very* good boy and following my directions to stay out of my way.

I have been listening to my new Grandma and Aunt Dog, mostly. What? Grandma was baking and asked me to stay out of her way!

A black kitten appears to be coming out of a holiday gift bag with green wrapping paper to play with an elderly black boxer/pitbull mix with white socks and a blaze. The dog is lying on its with her ears perked.

#EDS #FragileSkin I must remember to put the sock on my hand and arm before playing with Toothless, because he isn’t toothless, and it’s time for his humans to trim his claws again. My skin tears when I brush against furniture. He’s learning to keep claws retracted, but OW!

My son found me a doomscrolling prevention biological device.

A black kitten named Toothless after the dragon has draped itself across the keyboard of a laptop, preventing the human on whose lap it is sitting from accomplishing anything other than admiring said kitten.

When you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental health

A Story People drawing of a person in bright colors. There are flowers growing from their head, and they are holding a wand shaped like a sun. There is a white cloud over them. The accompanying text reads: “And it happened that she could feel the sun inside her as if it had always been there, shining from the inside out, and all she needed was a reminder.”

I love my staff. We took my purple and yellow minions to collect sugar, we did crafts, we had ZERO issues and much fun.

#OldPeopleProblems #EDS The problem with screens and progressive lens glasses is that to read, you need to look down. My lids droop so much they blur the text. This is the only weight related skin surgery I’d consider because of poor healing, and it would be to improve vision.
