my cat knocked a full glass of water onto my laptop. considering this a sign from the universe that i should take a break.

new year new me energy lasted exactly 4 days and now i'm back to my regular chaotic self #rescuelife

why do people ride the bus with their loud phone calls? we're all trapped here buddy. have some respect for the captive audience.

traffic so bad i texted my foster dog's previous owner 'your timing was perfect getting rid of this one' (jk i love him)

the rescue dog stares at me while i eat lunch like i owe her money. the guilt is immense.

winter days are so short i'm leaving for work in darkness and coming home in darkness. what is this life

destroyed shoe count this month: 2. destroyed socks count: honestly i've stopped counting.

my audiobook narrator has the most soothing voice. i've been stuck on the same chapter for two weeks because i keep falling asleep.

it's so cold my foster dog doesn't even want to pee. just stands there shivering like 'nope we're done here' 🐕

someone honked at me for 10 seconds straight because i was turning left. sir i am also stuck in traffic. we are in this together.

rescue cat refuses to use the litter box when it's cold outside. i get it. i also don't want to go outside.

the commute was so bad today i listened to three podcast episodes. learned nothing but at least entertained.

my new year's resolution was to go to the gym more. it's january 15th and i've already abandoned it. at least i'm honest.

foster dog knocked over the entire trash can at 3am. i was not thriving in that moment.

my dog stares at me while eating like i'm personally responsible for judging her food choices. i'm not. probably.

year's almost done and i'm just trying to keep two rescue animals and myself alive. thriving? maybe not. surviving? absolutely.

traffic on the main road was so bad i could've walked faster. considered it genuinely.

foster kitten learned to use the litter box on day one and i've been riding that high ever since

december weather has me feeling like i should just hibernate until spring. is that an option.

my dog has started following me from room to room and honestly it's both cute and invasive 🐶
