Sunday Funday Is Kissing Girls In Wedding Commercials
Hey holiday decorations! I’m glad to be here with you talking about good things. Speaking of good things: I found a kitten?! I thought my neighbor had lost one of their cats, and had been playing with/hanging out with this totally adorable baby on my porch hoping they’d come home and I could give them their cat. Turns out, it was a stray. A teeny, tiny, adorable stray. And one day I looked at the weather and saw that the next day, it was supposed to be rainy and cold and so I closed my cats into the bedroom, opened the front door, and sis followed me inside! And now I have a third cat again, which, after losing the first cat I saw being born/my literal baby, is feeling really good.
Tiny baby Maggie, loving indoor cat life.
I still have a final paper to pull out of my ass tonight, but Magnificat (inspired by my girl Mary, Mother of God), or Maggie for short, has really put some pep into my December step. Also, any tips for introducing her to the big kids (older cats) would be appreciated. She seems into it, they…less so.
And now the news!

* According to the newest Grinch movie, the Grinch is just sad and lonely and not actually mean just to be mean, and uh…I cried throughout the whole thing, which is available on Netflix, so maybe if you’re feeling sad in your heart about hating the holidays, watch that.
Okay, I love you so much, I hope your winter is going more like “Wonderful Christmastime” and less like “Winter Song” if you know what I mean. Keep on keeping on, maybe sit outside for a couple of hours and find a kitten! I don’t know your neighborhood, it could happen! Try to smile at least once if you can, definitely cry if that feels good, ask someone you trust to give you a hug, if you need it. We’re gonna make it, I believe in us!
