fLoAtY BALL fOr ShOw AnD tElL

My goodness, this little boo was moving around so much there were literally no good freeze frames to use for the thumbnail 😆🙈 I do hope that the balloon was allowed to go to school. Cause you'd be the coolest kid in class ALL DAY with that thing.

Soooo Calvin and Susie both turn 8 this month! Calvin's real birthday is the 17 of June, 2017. And so Susie also celebrates her birthday that day because we only know she was born in June that year. I think I've decided to be a boring mum for their birthday and get them something they don't necessarily WANT but that they NEED, which is a giant enclosed litter box. The high walls on Calvin's current litter box just aren't high enough, and I'm tired of putting pee pad's on the wall as a precaution.. I just hope that they are ok with it. I've always worried about giving them an enclosed one because I don't want them to not use it, but it's time to train them. Susie has been so good about saving all of her pee for when I'm there to watch so that she can get snackies 🤭🤭🤭🤭, so she's certainly not wasting any pee on the pee pads to make a point like she used to. I think this new little box is going to be a decision that I will realize I wish I had done sooner. Couldn't afford anything suuuper fancy, but I found something decent for now, and if they do take to it, I'll start browsing the fancier more expensive ones for the future.

For the amazing people asking already, and to those who are curious, I am still not comfortable with posting my address publicly for people to send birthday gifts. However, if we've spoken once or twice and I know you from my pages, send me a message and I'll most likely give it to you (unless we've already spoken about this, then no need to write again 😆)

❤️ Or there is Calvin and Susie's Amazon Wish list. It has mostly their needs, but I've added a few more wants, and also,(I don't know how) people seem to be able to send anything they want from amazon, not necessarily things I've put on the list. It has been such a strange year for them. Having to deal with all of the change, my intense mood swings and bed ridden moments, and their own medical problems, I so badly just want my babies to know that I love them and that they mean the world to me. And I want them to finally be able to relax and find peace. It's hard in this apartment, because of Stompy Stomperson above me, but we just have to get through this next year or so and see how close we are to beimg able to move to our dream home and be close to my mummmm. aaah these plans really keep me going a lot of the time. ❤️❤️❤️

On that note, I hope everyone is feeling safe in their home. I hope you have somewhere to go to get peace, and that it is a comfortable place for you to recharge, relax, let your guard down, contemplate, and rebuild. Our homes should not be yet another place we go to find difficulty and stress. It is where we go when we are tired and need love. Whether it's from those we live with, our pets, or even just ourselves. It's our break from the real world. And it should provide that kind of safety as-well, whether or not the safety is only psychological. Be patient with yourself. We love you dearly!

Love Alex Susie and Calvin
