It's basically the idea of living well and true - or that's what Papa said. I confess there are deeper meanings to it that are harder to explain. Google will be of little help because of New Age-y bullshit coopting stuff.

Soon as I lay down she will start her yelling until I settle and then after the settle she will climb up on me and snuggle under and arm and purr and gawd help me if I move because then the claws come out.

I told Aurora the cost of kibble was getting higher. Told her we'd have to start an Only Fans - she rolled over and posed as such. I guess we're selling her feet pictures now.

I don't care what you think your sexuality is, the 1980s Jeff Goldblum is imminently bonkable. If he came to you and was like, "So...yes...well...I thought we could have drinks. Then maybe talk some. Or we can just go upstairs..." You'd have to think about it.

This is Nimbus (Aurora too). @foxmoon.bsky.social will tell them to take care of me and they do. They yell if I need to sleep, eat, or take medicine. And when I cry they lick the tears away. There are not many things in this world I love with all my heart and soul, but my cats are one of them.

I am rarely thrown off balance. I have rules. I have guidelines. My fury is kept in check and the Beast remains chained. But last week...I cannot begin to explain to you the pain and rage I feel even thinking about it right now. But I'll overcome this as I overcome everything and I will move forward

I don't know. I just need to find my balance again (I know I keep talking about it) and get back on the good Red Road. I know I am not worthy, but I so long to be worthy. If my Papa were here he'd tell me to cowboy up. If my Dad were here he'd say it's not my fault. Both would tell me they loved me.

My hands look like hamburger from all the time I've spent punching bricks. (And yes, they are wrapped and cared for.) I just want to get back up on the balance pole and move on. And this was...IS...so hard on me. When you really trust someone with everything you are and then they are careless...

Taking meds as needed so I neither dip down or rocket up. Just...balance. Just...Zen. It's hard when all you want to do is strangle someone for the things they did to you. I won't forgive them, but I will not be ruled by what they did to me. I simply won't. I rule me. I decide. ME. No one else.

sorry I haven't been around much. I got an ugly shock a week ago and it threw off my mental equilibrium so bad I lost my temper (up to that point it had been almost 5 years since I lost my shit). I'm not ready to talk about it yet, but I've been meditating and being mindful to try to balance again.

Nimbus is...he's not singular. But he's pretty special. That cat can read me like few humans can and he knows when stuff is up. I really did need to rest yesterday but I was also needing to work and he figured out that one was more important than the other and then ENFORCED that.

Yeah, well. You don't have to be nannyed by your cat. He decided yesterday I needed to rest more so when I tried to get up he put his paw on my head and sat on my chest and every time I tried to move him he dug claws in. The little shit. Though I admit, I do feel a lot better than yesterday.
