Whew! Just paid for another week at the hotel. Here are pics from yesterday at the wonderful @catfeinecatcafe where I picked up my official quarantine shirt and then got to pet kitties!! It was so destressing!!! Especially when two of the kittens got in my lap. I might have to see if you can buy a two hour block. Seriously. Just hanging out in a room with cats refreshes the soul. Of course, that’s why I want to see #nokillintentionalcommunityshelter across the world. Small communities of tiny and tree houses, all handicapped accessible which means you can also age in place, with a large house that has a communal kitchen and other spaces available. The Thing is such a place can grow organically depending on the residents. Nonprofit so rent or mortgage is reachable by disabled and vets coming back into the community. It’s easier on folx with PTSD because you have people there but not too close unless you want them. Now if you don’t have PTSD or CPTSD you may not understand that. But trust me, it’s a thing. Sometimes you need to play cards or game with folx in the rec room, or just read in a corner in there, while sometimes you need the furthest tree on the property. Which is why five to ten acres cat and dog proof fenced. With individual fences for those with service dogs or esa dogs so they can let their dogs out to stretch and do their business without having to leash them. The difference in mental health that such a space and caring for animals would make for many. The difference in level of stress from being able to afford to live. Oops.
