Birthday Weekend Continues

Good Morning, World!!! My birthday weekend continues, thanks to my wonderful partner, Junior. Yes, yesterday was my official birthday but Junior wants to make sure my birthday is wonderful, and it has been wonderful. My partner and I went out to breakfast with my best friend and her partner at the Blue Star Cafe and Pub. The food was delicious as always. Also, my partner and I will be going out to dinner with a group of our friends to Red Robin for my birthday. Red Robin is my favorite restaurant, and I love their food. I am grateful for awesome people in my life and that they want to celebrate me even though I am uncomfortable with it. I am uncomfortable with it due to the trauma I dealt with as a child but at least I know I have people who care about me.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except that I will post more about my birthday this weekend. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

A Great Start to My Birthday

Good Morning, World!!! It is my birthday, and I am awake earlier than I would like to be on my birthday but there is a good reason as to why I am awake early on my birthday. I am at my partners, Junior’s place with my cat, Billie. Anyway, Junior woke me up and served me breakfast in bed. He made me French toast, scrambled eggs and chocolate milk. After breakfast in bed, Junior and I had some intimate moments. Intimacy that felt good and I am grateful for. I am so very happy that Junior is so respectful and loves me even with all my challenges. Junior making my birthday start special is so very awesome of him to do and it truly makes me feel special.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except that I hope I continue to have a great birthday. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

There is Nothing Better Than the Love of a Cat

Good Evening, World!!! I am dealing with a combination of depression, PTSD and grief regarding both of my parents’ death. Since I am dealing with so much right now with the grief of losing my parent, increased depression and PTSD I am grateful for my cat, Billie. I am grateful for Billie’s unconditional love that he gives me. Human’s including myself don’t deserve the love of animals especially their pets. I know I don’t deserve Billie’s unconditional love, and I am so very grateful for his love.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog.

5 Years of Life w/Billie & Hopefully 5 More Years

Good Afternoon, World!!! Today is a very happy day in my household. Today marks five years since I adopted my beloved cat, Billie. I am so grateful that we chose each other. Billie is an amazing kitty and is very chatty. Not only is Billie a talkative cat, he is also very much a lap cat. A lap cat that loves to snuggle and cuddle even when it is time to go to bed. Billie sleeps with me most of the night if not all night. I have had cats sleep with me in the past but never most of the night or all night. I am beyond grateful that I have had Billie in my life for the last five years and I hope he is in my life for the next five years.

My sweet Billie is 10 years old almost 11 years old which means he is a senior kitty. Billie is a senior kitty with early stage two kidney disease and thankfully very slowly progressing kidney disease. Since Billie is a senior cat with kidney disease, I really hope that he is around for at least another five years.

I do not have much else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post with the exception that I really love my cat, Billie so very much. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Daily Prompt; What Are You Doing This Evening?

Daily writing prompt
What are you doing this evening?

My plans for this evening is to stay home and watch movies. Hell, my partner Junior will be joining me at my place to watch movies with me. Let me not forget that my cat, Billie will of course be at home watching movies with me and my boyfriend, Junior. I am looking forward to watching movies on a streaming site at home with my partner and cat. There is nothing like being home in my pajamas with my cat and my boyfriend. I am not sure what movies we will be watching but I am just glad to be with my cat and partner.

Nightmares = No Sleep In Seattle

Good Morning, World!!! It is a few minutes after three o’clock in the morning here in Seattle. I am sadly unable to sleep partly due to insomnia and partly due PTSD. It took me forever and a day to fall asleep and sadly got woken up by a nightmare once I was asleep. Having insomnia and PTSD sucks shit.

I had a challenging time falling asleep due to insomnia as well as some pretty intense trauma responses from PTSD symptoms. I am pretty sure that the trauma response from PTSD symptoms was due to the fact of the family drama last night that I wrote about in my last post.

Since the lack of sleep and waking up from a nightmare due to PTSD symptoms, I realized that I was angry about it all so I ended up journaling. It appears that the journaling is about my anger is helpful for me. I am glad I am taking my therapist’s suggestion regarding writing down my anger as well as calling friends afterwards. In fact, I called one of my closest friends and talked to her at length. I then called my partner, Junior who came over to my place and we talked at great length about everything. I am beyond grateful for my close friend as well as my partner.

In fact Junior is going to stay the rest of the night here at my place to give me moral support. He is helping me color my gigantic giant coloring poster. As we colored my cat, Billie was in my lap. In fact Billie is still in my lap as I write this particular blog post. After I am done writing this particular blog post, I will continue coloring with Junior as my cat, Billie sleeps in my lap.

I do not have anything else to discuss or write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!
