greetings from the void
hello everyone i love and miss (and who i barely know and all the bots propping up my follower count) on the day of me!! i turned 41 today and it seems like the perfect time to stop ghosting my own blog and try to return to existing. gonna ease back in over the rest of the year, most likely, cuz life is A Lot forever these days. the biggest tl;dr news besides the fact that i moved to isolated ranchland and had to live without the rest of my human family for half of 2025 is that i've been doing so while tending to an increasing cat family here. besides our two eldest who live in @actuallylukedanes's home, i've now got a lucky set of 13 i'm taking care of--6 adults and 7 kittens!!
which is, like i said...a lot. but while my income isn't enough to stretch for it all, they're so wonderful it's worth the stress and the dishwashing and one very crowded tiny house. and i've got a project in the works for their future that i'll share more about when i can, because right now @actuallylukedanes is helping to make sure everyone has what they need, but the family goal is less 'managing chaos' and more 'official cat sanctuary'--we're just still in the limbo stages of working on all that.
i had an excellent halloween (i watched sinners! it was amazing!!!!) and am having a wonderful birthday--a day of wicked thanks to my best friend, and thanks to fate literally premiering the second half of the movie musical on my day. there were cupcakes! there were chocolate bars! there were hostess cupcakes and a mug and a wallet and two shirts and the funkopop of kristin and idina!! that's not even all of that, i've been getting presents from leander all week and they'll celebrate with me one last time tomorrow. :)
so i may have been quiet but i am in fact alive (if undermedicated) and i remain very, deeply loved. i know things are rough and scary everywhere, but i hope you're holding up okay out there yourselves--and i look forward to reconnecting with everybody who's still on this beautiful garbage website i still prefer to any others.
