Went to the shelter and picked out the most βunadoptableβ cat there β a black FIV+ adult male β to take home with me. Heβs also the cat whoβs been in that shelter the longest, since December.
Leonard progress! Heβs started cautiously coming out from under the blanket fort during the day, but is still skittish when checking things out and when Iβm walking around.
Constantly needing to remind myself that Iβm 35 and not 25 anymore, that Iβm struggling against multiple disabilities, and to stop comparing myself against others.

Whatever you do, donβt take social media advice from someone who has been on this platform for over 3 years and has under 400 followers.
Leonard update: Heβs starting to come out from under the safety of the blanket to explore and get cuddles. He meowed at me for the first time today and it was adorable.
One positive thing that has come out of my mom passing is that my dad and I have grown even closer. It also makes me realize I shouldβve been going to him for life/relationship advice this whole time because we really are so much alike that itβs kind of scary lol.
Iβve been avoiding my family and itβs because Iβm so much happier/myself when I donβt see them. It makes me feel kind of bad. But not bad enough to see them. Lol.
A bunch of people Iβve known my entire life say I still look 18 and one of my momβs doctors thought I was her grandchild, so at least Iβm winning at something in life.
Leonard doesnβt run away when I go to pick him up now and he lets me cuddle him on my shoulder for about 30 seconds before asking to be let down. He is officially my baby.
Made my own dirty chai latte today by pouring extra-strong coffee over a chai tea bag and letting it steep for a few minutes, then adding agave syrup and oat milk. Never going back to Starbucks again!
Iβve noticed in life that people want you to pretty much act one-dimensional. As soon as you show some kind of variety of dynamic emotion, you get looked at funny. I had a roommate who couldnβt wrap his mind around the fact that I listened to both classical and rap music π₯΄
