Clearly 😆

Haha! Actual Banana Tree. Turns out they grow just fine indoors.

Well, they don't much like change. I got a new coffee table a week or so ago and not a one will go in there 😆

They do like to pretend it's Jungle Time tho, with the plants.

Living alone has good points and bad.

Bad: NO ONE is excited I just figured out how to light the Banana Tree (by moving a huge table and every other plant in the room) And I am proud of this

Good: No one is asking why I have a banana tree or telling me what I can and can't do with the living room.

I am glad Thor is doing better!

Oh dear! Best advice I have is hands are not toys. If he bites and attacks, freeze, remove your hand and ignore him. You can say no, be nice, slowly, softly . Use an audio book voice, ultra calm. And then don' interact. When he is nice, treats, feather stick. Not nice: nothing.

That's always a hard one. What have you tried?

You are going to miss some GREAT storms today, my friend.

Hanging out in rural Wisconsin with four cats, a houseful of plants, learning to be a therapist. Wild ride 😆😆

Things like that do tend to happen on Beltane 😆

FLAMETHROWER!!

Not too bad for coming out of a long hard winter 🖤🖤

Here’s one for you! Not QUITE as elegant 😂

Yes! Do this thing. 💚

Starting Monday with post-workout-post-shower cuddles and coffee. All sorts of other things may happen, it being Monday and all. But here’s where it starts. On the right foot, er, paw.

Same!!!

Thank you so much!!!

♥️♥️

All super good!

Those are all perfect! Especially the getting outside, it changes everything. 🤍🤍

Self Care Sunday is starting out perfectly according to plan. Not pictured: Three other felines, a fire and COFFEE.

I want to add my voice to those saying take care of yourself. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Tell me your tips?

😆😆😆

Well, we got some really good music out of it.

Me too! I miss them. Dear lil leopards 😂

Ah, a sweet memory from the Bengal days, when life was simple and the Leopards curled up by the fire and beamed lasers rather than eating our faces.

Sorry, I tried to think and am getting flashbacks to our life in the studio. Over and over and over.

The therapist is in and here to help. Any questions for us here at the Bog Monster Institute for Therapeutic Sanity?

The chaos is mostly the Bog Monster’s fault 😂

I have far more control over these cats than I do over the state of our country. Our level of crazed chaos here makes herding cats an easier option. 😆😆

I am setting my coping with chaos level at “Four cats and breakfast” for the rest of the week. Higher levels of chaos are not encouraged. A lower setting, such as “where are my pants” may be issued as need arises.

Congratulations!! We have plenty of the world is on fire, more of this sort of thing, please.
