In November 2015, this marvelous orange tabby came into my life. By May 2016 he was finally ready to move in. Itโs only been a month, I already miss him so. ๐

Hope everyone had a happy fourth. I stayed home with my little one. Heโs not the biggest fan of Fireworks and my neighborhood can get very loud on this day. Hereโs a picture from another year where he climbed to the top shelf of the closet to escape the booms.

Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.
(America never was America to me.)
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamedโ
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.
(It never was America to me.)

decided to update their app and website.
Doing so they basically did away
with thesaurus dot com and
the synonym of the day.
No Way! I shuddered.
This can't be!
Synonym of the day was an integral part
of how I broke my block.
I had a plan
I started off the year right. I had a plan and held to it for the first week. Then all hell broke loose and LA caught fire. The destruction has distracted me for the last few days. I couldnโt concentrate as the wind battered my bungalow and flipped the tarp in my backyard upside down and around. A fellow coworker isnโt doing much to help as I take on her shifts while she heals thyself. 4 days later Iโm out of sync need some mental healing myself. My body is drained and just doing the minimum to maintain. I know what to do but a restorative sleep isnโt as easy as all that, not when one has a cat. But day by day, piece by piece, Iโll reset my clock and restart the plan.
First I just need to get through this day and not worry about what I canโt control. Worry is a wonder that has often stopped me dead, I let too much rest uneasy in my head.
I write this on the bus, thereโs only 2 more stops. Oh good god the bus is changing shifts! Let it go, girl & breathe. Every thing will be ok.
ps I love LA.
