Hello, Brenna.

Hi, Maureen.

So I'm currently surrounded by not my usual cat, but two cats.

I have a second cat staring me down right now.

Well, actually, he's sniffing up my bed to see if I spilled any of the subway I had.

Did you?

I did it, but he's still looking.

I'm watching my cousin's cat because she went home for the first time to visit her family in South Dakota.

And also it was her, like, it's her 10-year, like, school reunion and, like, and, and, and also, like, the, like,

like, uh, like, yearly carnival festival for, like, their, her town, and it's actually, like,

a fun thing where she lives, because she actually grew up in, like, a town with more than,

like, five people in it. Um, and, like, She actually grew up in like a town with more than like five people in it.

And like me who grew up in a truck stop basically. So she,

so that's what she's doing for a couple of days. And her boy KKK has, um, he's mainly just been like loudly complaining every time I feed him and like in his room yelling a lot.

Like I physically picked him up and like carried him around and showed him that he wasn't, that, that she wasn't here.

Cause I try just like putting him in my room like with me

he can't stay overnight because he tries his best to get into dash's cage um unlike yeah

unlike hobbit who hasn't like figured out how to do that uh kk will he will he knows how to open

like food bags and closet doors. So he'll figure

out how to eat dash. So he hasn't slept over, but I did, like, bring him in when I was

working, and he just sat by the door whole time and, like, complained until I physically picked

him up and was like, mom's gone. Mom's not here. It's me. You're stuck with me, bud.
