I am a complicated woman who loves books and art and photography and spirituality and animals and people (though I'm afraid of them). I love nature and music and adventures and video games and movies and pizza and psychology and etymology and philosophy.

Gypsi showing off her patch of white.

I'm having trouble with this whole "let's judge everyone who is different than us" theme these days. I catch myself doing the same. Is this a human thing? Why must we turn everything into Us vs Them? Why do we vilify the Others? We dehumanize the "enemy" to make it easier for us to dismiss them.

Gypsi in semi-distraction mode.

She is so cute right now, keeping me company on my desk again.

This is Mittens. Mittens wants love and affection. Mittens is scared of some people. Mittens is not scared of me. Mittens is not my cat.

She was a little annoyed with me for turning another everyday moment into a photo shoot.

I went to a doctor's appointment last Friday. Nothing was done except filling a couple of prescriptions I'm already taking. When I asked for help with my asthma flaring up, he told me to take Symbicort twice a day. Um, I don't even have taking it once a day mastered. Why I don't is hard to explain.

It is hard to write when my mood is so low. Reading that people don't want to talk to others and get involved in their personal problems has me wondering what do people want to interact with? I'm a human being, I have problems. They will always make an appearance unless I'm masking.

I'm sorry I disappeared for a bit more days than usual. Last week I found out that my Uncle's cat, Skippy, passed away. 😢 That was the cat I just shared with you who was older and had diabetes.

I don't know if this poem will help people understand my issues with anxiety and accomplishing tasks... But here it is: Anxiety has Woken Written 1/10/25 By Cassondra Dee Huestis

I just thought I would share that alongside my mental difficulties, I also live with chronic pain and chronic fatigue. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2016. Doctors tell me fibromyalgia doesn't include inflammation, but I strongly disagree. NSAIDs help my pain more than other meds like Lyrica.

Found the kitty in this awkward position earlier. 😄

Gypsi was enjoying lounging on the bed this morning.

Does anyone else lose track of days? I have an irregular sleep schedule because of fatigue and possibly an abnormal circadian rhythm. Sometimes I feel it has only been two or three days and a whole week has passed. Is this time blindness or something else?

Happy New Year everyone! Well, it won't be the new year for another half an hour here but for many the new year has already begun. Happiness is not guaranteed but we can find happy moments scattered throughout our days. A sunrise. A cat's soft fur. Tree branches. Food. Laughter. Poetry. Love.

Gypsi loves to help me when I'm reading or writing at my desk.
