she’s cooking herself 💛
(this is her favorite sunbathing spot- every time I give her a walk, we have to stop here and lay down for a while. Happy cat 🥰)

Have a picture of my cat Diesel going for a walk.
We did let him outside by himself but by-law is getting on our ass and he keeps getting into cat fights so I harness trained him.
Now he can go outside and be safe for himself and the neighborhood.

Molly, this morning around ten: Let me out! Let me ooooouuuut!
Me, making a late cup of coffee: No. It’s below freezing. It will be warmer later. We can go then.
Molly, chewing the scenery: Why are you so mean to meeeee???
Me, knowing how this will end: Below freezing. Very cold. You will not like it.
Molly, now literally chewing on a pencil she knocked off the table: You’re a liar who doesn’t want me to have nice things. Outside! I know my rights!
Me, abandoning my coffee: You know what? Fine. Let’s do this.
* Several minutes and one “walk” later *
Molly: Why would you do this? I was so cold out there! Make the hot air thing go. I demand warms. Fix what you did.

getting older can be so amazing? you get more familiar with yourself. learn tips & tricks for troubleshooting your own brain. trial & error helps you build routines that minimize discomfort, maximize reward. your preferences/interests don't get set in stone, but you do find out which ones are going to stay with you in the long-term, and which ones are fun but transient joys to appreciate in the moment.
you learn that the world is so much more complex than you were taught, and that that's okay, and that there's an endless supply of things you can learn or watch or experience or think about if you want to. if you're lucky, you loosen up, stop putting so much pressure on yourself. if you're lucky, you learn to recognize that negative inner voice, and whack it with a baseball bat until it hushes up. if you're lucky, you learn to treat yourself gently, not because you are fragile but because you are worthy of gentleness. (i hope you are lucky.)
and some things will change. some things will get better. some things will get good. and maybe you start to recover from the dehumanizing stress of childhood/education. maybe you learn the power of your own autonomy. maybe you learn how to walk away from bad situations (which is a superpower even if you don't realize it yet). and you get to choose your own clothes. and your own food. and which relationships to pursue! and what you do with your free time. and with your life (but don't worry you get to choose that gradually). and that's crazy! and sometimes scary. and extraordinarily, indescribably precious.

Forget to upload? Me? I would never.
I don’t know what set the blue jays off today, but it wasn’t us. Mostly. We upset maybe three jays. And possibly a squirrel.
