Not sure if he fixes things but he definitely improves my mental health! His name is Salmy, short for Salmon.

Moo does not appreciate your (and my) lack of faith in his mousing abilities. 😂

My orange cat can only catch bugs and then confuses himself when he steps on them and can’t find them anymore because they’re stuck to his foot.

The Uses of Sorrow 

(In my sleep I dreamed this poem)

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift

When I came here it felt like home for the first time in my life ❤️.
WHEN I GOT TO NEW MEXICO, THAT WAS MINE.
AS SOON AS I SAW IT, THAT WAS MY COUNTRY.
I'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE, BUT IT FITTED TO ME EXACTLY.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS IN THE AIR - IT'S DIFFERENT.
I SHOULDN'T SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT, BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE MAY BE INTERESTED AND I DON'T WANT THEM INTERESTED.

Going to try to post about some good things more regularly in addition to all the craziness that’s happening around us. Today, my pond fish woke up and it looks like they all survived the winter so far. And check out this cool leaf on my alocasia.

The state of our country and this upside down world where morality is meaningless and religion is too often used as a tool for evil reminds me of the following:
