Kitten! And Miami Recap

Welcome to Tuesday Topics, which I host with Jenn from Runs With Pugs. Luckily today’s topic is a free topic, because my mind is all over the place. First of all, I feel like I don’t even live in the same country as everyone else these days. Yesterday it got up to 90 degrees here. I mean… I know everyone else is suffering from the cold and snow… but 90? In January? What is going on??? Anyway, a lot has happened over the last several days. When I posted about spending the day in Miami, I already knew about the kitten but nothing was definite. The short version of the story is, kitty was found abandoned, the woman who rescued her wanted to keep her but then realized she couldn’t take on the responsibility, so she passed her along to me. I wish she had a name so I don’t have to keep calling her “kitty!” It’s not clear yet who is going to end up with this kitten. I would love to keep her, but my husband is not on board (although- he might still come around). The other possibility is, my daughter’s boyfriend would like her. They have one cat so they have plenty of room for another! It’s going to be up to his dad though (why are dads so resistant to kittens? Sheesh!) I told my daughter and her boyfriend to come up with a name together, but so far nothing has been decided. Foxy and the kitten LOVE each other! I was supposed to keep her quarantined until she sees the vet, but it seemed cruel to keep them apart, so… Muffin is not as excited. Every time she hears the kitten mewing from behind the door, Muffin looks worried. But, she’s still eating and behaving normally (unless she hears the kitten- then I can tell she’s anxious). She’ll come around! This will all work out just fine. My day in Miami on Friday was fun! I did not find a mug, unfortunately, so the search continues. I had a run in a nice park on the water… … and went to a bookstore! This was a great store with a nice selection, and I bought this: Seriously. I’m not allowed to buy ANY MORE BOOKS. I think I have eight books, between my Christmas book flood, bookstore adventure with Stephany, and then this one. I have to read these and then start using the library again. While I didn’t find a mug, I did buy a blanket, which solves the “fa la la” quilt problem (I couldn’t put it away because Foxy loved it so much). Now I have a seasonal blanket to take its place. I don’t like too much pink and red (I know- I’m a Valentine’s Day scrooge) so navy with hearts is perfect. Next week’s topic: Self care check: how do you show yourself kindness this month?
