  • Moving into the 4th week of a 2 week quarantine and I have a few things to say: 1) I still have all 4 members of my family, safe and sound (including Timon); 2) Texting my friends and family keeps me sane and smiling; 3) I have a fantastic job that I genuinely love that…

  • Mommy was busy reading, but I stood on her book and reminded her that she can’t be too busy to cuddle me. Don’t worry – she stopped reading. #catstagram #blackcat #blackcatsrule #turninggrey #cateyes #myboy #myraggedyoldman #raggedyman #greeneyes #furbaby #fluffball #kalidesautelsreads

  • One of the things I love about my job is that it can be remote, and I can work from home regularly, so the switch to COVID-19 working from home didn’t feel like a huge change. The biggest challenge is that usually I have a very quiet house for 6 of the 8 hours while…

  • I like social media. A lot. I feel like it was created for introverts like me – just extroverted enough to want to say things that make people laugh, but over all, desperate for quiet space. I like to read what my friends are doing. I like to see pictures of their pets and kids.…

  • Quarantine homework from @thewitcheryworldofbrenna is taken very seriously here. The first 4 chapters of Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone to be read by Wednesday.

  • So when I tell myself I have to stay home, it sort of sucks. But when I say I get to stay home with these monkeys, it feels more like a luxury. This one wanted more tiktok time, and I wanted her to get some movement. She figured out how to do both lol! While…

  • Want to know a secret? I am not the healthiest person alive! I am also not the least healthy person alive. I do have a compromised immune system and right now a stress cold. And I ran out of fresh fruit. My brother and sister-in-law work hard on their health and have been acting as…

  • It’s ok that you’re not fine. No one expects you to be. No one expects anything right now, and that’s okay, too. How can you expect something that is amorphous? You are probably in your home worrying about your family and friends. You are concerned that you coughed today. Is it dry weather? Allergies? Dust?…

  • When you wake up and find a cheerful reminder that right now, we may not be able to spend time together, but we can still enjoy our memories and love each from afar.Thank you for making me cry in a good way! I love you, @mj_ravenpuff and @mousykat90 ❤️ I am so grateful! #thebestmemories #besties…
