I think kitty will be okay! It's been a hot minute since Binx was fixed at 2 months (shelter's choice, not mine), but he came through okay and was bouncing around like nothing happened in less than 24 hours! And clearly, he is doing just fine (look at this spoiled cat!).
Ya I felt like the males probably heal super fast. He was just so upset being in the pet carrier and I feel like a monster but it's for the best. Plus when he comes home we got him a bunch of premium can food so he might forgive us.
Binx is such a cutie 😻3 -
So one of my friends on here has the flu....thankfully not Covid. But it got me thinking, the flu season this year has been birtually non existent. While Covid spikes, flu disappears.....correlation? Maybe covid kills influenza? Maybe when we all have covid antibodies Covid will be the influenza vaccine?
Please dont take me serious.......5 -

I always feel terrible when I have to put them in their carriers. The mews of complaint! So sad..
Primo wet food + cat treats and/or a new toy and I bet you'll be forgiven.1 -

Looks like 2 people took you serious.
That was one of my observations this season so far. People might actually be staying home more when sick, like they should be.2 -

It's normal to worry about our pets; I do the same with my dogs. I can't help it.
I bet she'll be fine and you'll have her back home before you know it. Hardest part is usually keeping any animal quiet after. She(he?)'ll be ready for extra cuddling.1 -

Everything is a struggle now.
Mentally, I'm sinking.
Physically, all I want to do is sleep.
I thought I did quite well given the year's circumstances and my own personal ones, but I guess I was wrong on that.
It was just waiting around the corner, like some demented parasite, come to infect me at the last possible moment.
I tried to cheer myself up and make cinnamon rolls (and did, finally) yesterday, but it has done nothing to help improve my mood. I can't work up the care to do anything creative or really take care of myself as I should. I only do things out of obligation to others.. I don't really live for myself anymore.
I am tormented by very, very dark thoughts. And sadly, due to my insurance, there is no one available to talk to (professionally) until well into the new year because of backlog/Covid/holidays.
I'm just trying to doggie-paddle through life at this point, hoping the waves don't crash over me again. Trying to keep my spouse informed just so he's aware, but I hate being a burden or making him worry.
So someone is nearby, watching out for me at least. But I'm tired of being tired and tired of the exhaustive strain this is.
Always been a big fan of yours ❤️...
Sorry you have to go through this right now...
But just as you made it through bright days, you've made it through dark nights as well... Better days are ahead ❤️...
But I know you're well aware of this... Just sharing my support to you ❤️... And bless you for sharing, you never know just who else your story may help and inspire ❤️
Happy holidays 💕8 -

And honestly... If people were as diligent with the flu as they have been with covid, the prevalence would be down significantly.
"Stay home if you're sick" was a pipe dream when it was "just the flu" . The expectation was almost understood that unless you were dead, you'd be at work.
Now with masks, hand washing and social distancing... A lot of communicable diseases will naturally reduce in volumes.3 -

Hey all,
Yesterday was pretty dark for me, but today is better (so far). Thank you for the love and support. I'm trying to be productive because that usually cheers me up a bit.
However, I am stumped!
I want to bake something tasty for my family, but I have no ideas! I want to do something I don't make a lot (so not a bread and not chocolate chip cookies). They already ATE the dozen cinnamon rolls I made, so I don't want to make those again either.
Any ideas??
P.S. Nothing with nuts and nothing with raisins; my husband thinks raisins are a lie and my son thinks nuts are a lie and he doesn't like them in his food (crazy people).8 -

Yeah but for how long is the question? We humans get too comfortable too fast. Once masks are not a requirement a lot of the hand washing and staying home when sick won't be a priority anymore because the flu doesn't come with a death sentence like covid does.. Of course these are my thoughts and my opinions only and you're allowed disagree with me 🙂2 -

I'm already on my second batch. I regret remembering they existed. 😭
I'm going to make these tonight 😋3 -
Aww thank you!
It is SO MUCH BETTER! Yesterday I managed to get my arm vertical enough to grab onto the top of my power rack and eased into a hang. I felt something pop and I wonder if maybe somehow I had gotten out of alignment. I sat into the hang for a bit and stretched out the muscles around my shoulder and I feel significantly better today. (I even got to sleep last night!)
I confess, I am nervous about trying to lift (because that pain was very real), and yet... I want to lift anyways. I may give it another day and then (try to) ease into a light session. My pride seems to be directly proportional to how much weight is on the bar, and I'm often my own worst enemy.4 -

Oh I agree entirely. Complacency is the enemy of progress. I think it's a momentary blip in the grand scheme of things. (Also welcome people to disagree. haha)3 -

A friend of mine brought Christmas Crack to work last year and I almost went out of my mind. I need to get her recipe, but this one sounds pretty close. (She didn't use nuts on hers and actually sprinkled a bit of crushed candy cane on top for a holiday flair)
