I haven't been online much this past week-ish bc I'm in ✨ a lot of pain ✨ which differs from normal bc it's 1) a migraine 2) back pain 3) joint pain from rainy weather 4) sinus congestion hell on earth from allergies + rainy weather [to the point I woke up with dried blood in my ear <3 bc the pressure on my sinuses burst my fucking eardrum <3]

(Please don't give any unsolicited medical advice, I've tried Literally Everything I can for this shit, and I can't afford to buy anything that does help like zyrtec until Friday ✌🏻 I appreciate the concern and desire to help, but unless you want to paypal me $30 along with asking if I've tried nose spray before...)

But I'm not here to say I'm feeling better and all that is miraculously over, no, I'm here to say that the first thing I thought about that made me want to push through the pain long enough to make a tumblr post is:

Cats????? Cats good?? Cats wonderful??? Lucky to be alive at the same time as my pets??? Who have every reason not to trust a big, noisy, scary ape but they do it anyway, the same way I have every reason not to provide shelter/food/amenities for my pets but do it anyway??? 😭😭😭💕💕💕

#erin talks #text #like . I raised my 13 yr old cat from when she was 6 or 7 weeks old #so logistically ofc I know that she does trust me & why #but when she does things like sleep belly-up or cuddle me before going to eat fresh food #or stretch her neck out so she can rest her chin in my hand #it's like . the Seemingly unthinking trust that goes into that #that belies how much they Do think about their safety/our trustworthiness #before making the same choice to trust us over and over . that's something I really don't want to take for granted #this is probably the closest approximation of maternal my body is physically capable of feeling #okay I'm going back to trying to lurking until the bout of pain is over 👍🏻
