Kitten is Already Protecting his Owner from Snakes

What a good little boo. Catching that sweater snake. 🥰

It's been such a nice morning. I woke up at around 6:15am, because Calvin was singing and parkouring in the living room while Susie was in my face.. so why not get up 🥴

I finally finished filming the update video yesterday, and when you see it you'll find that I am worried about having just sprained my foot 2 minutes prior to starting 😅. I ran to check the mail beforehand to see if my merch had come in (wanted to show you some new stuff!) but not only was it not there, I missed a step going down to the mailboxes and rolled my foot in a way that is very VERY OW right now and as of 20 hours since that incident, I cannot walk on it 🫠 luckily it's not swollen or purple, it just hurts like crazy. So I'm hoping if I elevate it for the rest of the day I'll be ok... 🙈 I have too much to do to be unable to walk right now! Arg I am so clumsy it's silly. Susie is giving me some adorable emotional support right now, though. Just hanging over my leg and staring at me while I write this. She's so cute, just wanna scritchy scritchy scritch her colorful head.

This week and next are pretty full; got a couple appointments and I even have to go out of town to see my rheumatologist who I doooo... not... like. He's condescending, and makes me feel horrible for the fact that I can barely afford to come visit him for our appointments. He used to drive up here once a month, that's how I got him as my doctor. But since Covid he stopped coming and just... never planned on coming back ever or running it by me or anything. Just "get your butt here to my office from now on". Not once maybe saying something like "is that ok with you?" or "is this doable for you?". Just inconveniencing the bajezus outta me without a care in the world. Well, mister doctor bro, it's this thing called poverty and no car. I use half of all my spending money for the month to go all the way up there by bus for him to touch my knee and go " k yOu'Re GoOd tO gO!" Like.. no. My mom and I are thinking up something I can say when I'm there next week that's like "I can't keep doing this. Where do we go from here? Can my family doctor prescribe the meds I need for my arthritis, or is it essential that you see me in person for me to get it?" Just something that helps me feel like I have control again. I get such bad anxiety months before his appointments come up. and they are only twice a year but it's just too much to ask of me... I've been trying for the last few years but I'm done with that. bleh

Everyone be careful out there! Watch out for wonky stairs, evil slippers, and sweater snakes. You can never be too careful... Or even better; if you have an arrogant doctor, send. them their way! 😂🤭

Love Alex, Calvin and Susie
