I knew before I got started that I was embarking upon a journey that would require all of my time, energy and emotions. Yet like a moth to a flame I was drawn to the light. As I watched the life before me I was taken back to my youth when I hoped on a wish and a prayer that my mom would say yes. But she said no over and over again. But why, I would ask?! I felt as if it was a cruel punishment of sorts and would often cry my eyes out.
Now that I am a whole entire adult I make rash decisions on my own and then question my sanity and realize perhaps my mother was right all along. Why did I get myself into this knowing I simply cannot stop. It's formed as a question but covers as a rhetorical statement all day long. There is also no reasonable answer, so I just go with it and keep this party bus moving right along. The summer months offer a reprieve of sorts as the weather is mild and there is no threat of cold weather. But fear not! As the fall months approach I will setup the sleeping quarters which include a heated sleeping bed, heated water bowl and blocking the air from the end of my patio. I do have an idea of closing the entire patio for the colder months, however, I am not sure if that is something I need to get myself into. The wheels of this bus are definitely turning round and round. My obsession with furry little meowing creatures started when I was a little girl. I absolutely love them and I still do. I have a favorite and his or her name is Kitty. I have been taking care of the constant visitor for over a year. Like clockwork, I see that cute little face in the morning and afternoon. Last week I got close enough to get a quick rub in. The trust level is at an all time high. I am a lot of things. A daughter, a sister, an aunt, a best friend, a decorator and even a baker, but I am 1000% a certified cat lady. ~AJ 😽
