The Positive Thread - 2024

Our daughter and son-in-law are coming for a visit next week. Since they live abroad we don't get to see them as often as we'd like. We text and talk regularly but it's not the same as being together in person. Carleton is excited too!

DH picked up materials to fix my raised garden bed that collapsed. Hopefully soon I can get things planted. I’m going for flowers this year. Maybe i can mix perennials with annuals and throw in a tomato or something.

Our garden bed is progressing nicely. Dad and I are putting some old mossy stones along the border. Hard work, but satisfying. I'm looking forward to getting some more plants for it. Just now I saw a blackbird (a British bird similar to an American robin) hopping around in there getting some worms, and there's a crow drinking from the pond. Meanwhile, Cleo is curled up on my knee purring nonstop.

Fun little positive this morning. I was crossing a parking lot and on the ground were four scratch off tickets, clearly un scratched. Picked them up, brought them home and scratched them off. Three of the four were small winners totaling $15.

Yesterday we went to our local animal shelter to make a food donation. It's where we adopted our last dog and Neely. Met a very nice volunteer and staff member who we talked to for the better part of a half hour. We even talked about our favorite coffee spots.

It has been a crazy last couple of weeks. On the plus side, today was beautiful weather rise! And my garden is doing well.

Month 34 of the long, long introduction and for the first time I have had a full day of TWO cats in the living room at the same time. Willow has apparently decided she is tired of hiding/sleeping in the closet and spent the whole day sleeping under the end table. Lola went up to her once, got a hiss and left. Not friends but I am good with toleration.

My boyfriend and I won a couples photoshoot contest! With a high end photographer.

My mental health's not been good over the last few days due to some personal life stuff really pushing me past my limits, but I've kept busy working on the new flowerbed. Yesterday Mum and I went out for a totally unrelated reason, but we stopped off at the local garden centre as Mum wanted something for the vegetable patch and went to check if they had it in stock. While up there, I found an iris I'd had on my wish list for the bed but hadn't thought I was going to be able to get. It was literally the last one in stock so of course I bought it!
