This video is so incredibly precious that I don't know if it has any right being SO gosh darn precious... look at those lil weapons 🥹 This baby is named Marvin, his mama is michellephant22 on Instagram, and her page is full of her adorable floofs that she nurses back to health. ❤️ We can always use more amazing people like this in the world.

dodedo... hmmhmmhmmmm 🎶 coffee coffee coffee coffee.... I don't think I've told you guys about how my morning goes when it comes to my coffee... I have a problem. and I'm not ashamed to share it because I think it's funny. Now, I have a "caffeine necessity" whether it is in the form of coffee or a yummy diet coke, I needs mah caffaaaaayn.. (ADHDers need our stimulants 🤪) So first thing in the morning I make my big coffee while I make up the kids break-y. And when I'm done the morning rounds, I sit down to edit. If I'm starting a video from scratch, I usually finish my coffee around when I've finished recording and I start to get the subtitles going. So, of COURSE, I go and make my second large coffee. Because, well, hello, the caffeine was all gone. And by the time I've finished the second coffee, I'm getting close to finishing the video most likely, but the little odds and ends need to be cleaned up, and then I have to upload it still and write my blog! So guess what? it's time for a third coffee! by then I'm peeing every ten minutes... and it's blog time, sooo... let's just say that this part usually takes me longer than it should because I'm getting up very often by now 😂🤭at least it has been a very enjoyable morning of coffee/editing/bathroom breaks, and Calvin and Susie playing contact sports in the bathtub.

Other random update: So I got Calvin and Susie a privacy litter box, with the top and all. it was super cute, but when it arrived I was worried it might be too small for Calvin still. But who knows, so I began putting it together anyway. It was super sleek and I went with a pink one because it was cute and Calvin is comfortable with his masculinity enough to like pink too. But as I was putting it together, It was noticeably very difficult to latch the pieces together (required a LOT of force) but it was a fine line I was walking because I was worried the plastic it was made from wouldn't handle that kind of pressure either. And I was right. I tried really hard to snap one of the last big pieces together and I must have found a source of strength that wasn't strong enough to click the pieces together, but was strong enough to break a huge part of the plastic. I was so incredibly upset when this happened. Especially because both Susie and Calvin were super cute and stoked for it (No they didn't knooow it was a new litter box, but there was something about the smell or the color, or maybe that it was a little plastic bed?) It was so disheartening.

Not to mention that because I was returning it, that meant I had to take it apart after all of that fuss.

I was planning on getting this other one for them, Looks really nice and it's designed for a "fat cat" 😆 Not that Calvin is fat, but geez I wish they would make these things for cats bigger than a year old. Susie would have fit well, but Calvin would maybe not have used it. Here's another twist though, this morning I got a message from the seller saying they will reimburse me without me having to send it back. 😐 Hmm... Well now what? I suppose it's worth salvaging? A little duct tape and some cute stickers or paint? If this weren't huge and a trillion dollars to ship I'd send it to one of you guys 😅 We'll see what I come up with! I could always turn it into a make-shift cat bed for the balcony, because the roof would make it super super cute. Thoughts?

I know I'm a Chatty Chatterson today, but one more thing 😂😁😅 no one asked for this, but I couldn't help myself...
