Happy National Coming Out Day 2021

Happy National Coming Out Day! Every journey is special and unique… and unfortunately there is on one size fits all approach.

If you’re not out yet don’t let anyone pressure you into being something or someone your not… your uniqueness is what makes you special! And if you’re try to figure out when to come out don’t fret; you’ll know when the time is right for you! Remember that coming out doesn’t just happen all at once, but instead it’s a continuous lifetime process as different people move in and out of our lives.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Well, Good News All Around!

 

You know the feeling when you get a call with great news? Well that just happened and some clouds parted to let the sun come through… 

That call was this is completely unrelated to the next news, but I can’t say what it was about other then it was a good call!

Also Soupy is doing better post surgery; and thanks goodness he made it through his surgery too! At his age there was a worry that he might of not woken up from surgery or a unknown block clot could of moved… I don’t know how I would of handled loosing him back to back with Nitche…. On a happier note his anesthesia wore off late last night so his personality is slowly coming back! He started eating again today, he even started to doing his “sit and shake” trick that he learned over quarantine for his treats! Yes he is a cat that knows tricks, he is part dog I think!?!? 2020 was really long and training a cat seemed to be a good use of time… 

But he has to continue to wear the onesie for at least the next two weeks till the stitches are out… and if he starts to pick at the onesie then he as to wear a cone. Ooooooh but luckily I found buried WAY deep in the back of my moms laundry room some old baby/toddler clothes hangers for Soupy’s clothes so I can hang them up after I do his laundry! It so cute to see them hanging up to dry on the line! 

Can anyone relate to the most randomly things like seeing a cloths line of onesies that flairs up your baby fever? I swear it happens more frequently the older I’m getting! 

Back to Soupy; he was slated to go back to the vets on Saturday to have the drainage tube removed but since it is still draining they thought it would be to delayed it till Monday morning… on the 29th he has to go and have all the stitches taken out too! Oh but don’t tell him this since he doesn’t know about have to go on two more car trips!

20 YEARS… AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET

Even after 20 years I can still remember where I was when I saw the news... I was in first grade at the time, and my teacher was able to keep what was going on from the class. However my school released us early that day and I remember hearing the what was happening once I was in the car heading home; but hearing it was much different then seeing the images on our kitchen TV.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET  9/11/2001

Better Moments…

 

A better moment can bring a breath of fresh air, yet the fear of darkness can still cloud the day…

Being A Rock…

 

“Listen to silence. It has so much to say.” Rumi 

The importance of now being a rock is my greatest responsibility…

Well I’m Always Busy…

Life for sure can through a lot at you! Since last I spoke here’s 10 new thing:

1. I’m still work on my porch…
2. I’ve buried a pet; my sweet little Niche (she was really young and it was very unexpected) …
3. Had  a brick thrown though one of my windows from a neighbors roof job (I’m so glad my stained glass side door was still boarded up from my porch job!)… 
4. Had to close for a week due to how the film industry is due to the pandemic…
5. Helped deal with my grandma in and out hospital stays, and now nursing home recovery (long story)…
6. I redecorated my Drawing Room (I finally brought out the crystals)…
7. I started to build my master bathroom vanity out of old oak I had laying around…
8. I brought out some of my fall home decor…
9. I switched my window displays from summer to fall…
10. And I’ve been staring to cut down my gardens in preparation of winter…

I’ve learned a long time ago to take one day at a time and to not let stress control me. In the next couple of weeks it looks like I have a couple more weeks I might have to close… oh and Soupy has to go and have a tumor removed (he is our 14 year old male cat we’ve had since he was a couple weeks old); sooooo till we’ll talk again later…

Yours truly, 

Nicklas
