today i adopted a 7 month old black kitty from the local animal shelter in my hometown!! it was actually my mom’s idea, she knew i was going through a lot recently. as someone who hasn’t gone more than a few months without living with an animal in my house that i personally have bonded with, living alone for extended periods of time was truly getting to me, so i’m very touched that she allowed me to get a pet to live with me in my apartment. :’) (she told me for months now that i wasn’t allowed to so it’s just so!!! heart-warming that she opened up and thought of how much it could help me)
i brought him home this morning and he’s already become so acclimated to me. the second i opened his carrier and let him out into my room he came to me, purring. he’s been playing all day and now he’s sleeping on my bed.
his name was milo at the adoption agency, but i’ve renamed him jiji after kiki’s delivery service, my favorite childhood movie. it was always my dream to have a pure black cat named jiji and i finally have one (one with an absolutely adorable personality, i must add.)
i’m having a good time. life is good right now. tomorrow i’ll start the 100 days of productivity challenge. i also have my initial therapy appointment this coming week. things are looking up!
