New Parent’s Woe

I feel like a new parent. The new kitten, Max, had been sleeping in the big bathroom with food, water, and litter box, but now he’s been liberated to the rest of the house with Girlie, the older cat. It’s working out well, except at night, when both want to romp and play, and take great pleasure, it seems, in romping and playing on my prone body.

No sleep for the weary parent.

Two nights like this, and I’m worn out. Today will be a busy busy day, and I’ll be running on low.

My confidence and general joy in life is slipping, and I’m afraid if I let this pre-depressive state get a strong hold on me, I’ll be in for a long spell of depression and sadness. Determined not to let this happen, I’m trying to stay positive about everything I can, but sleep is a necessary thing to good health, both physical and mental.

The good part of this day is that it’s cool, the birds are singing, and autumn has arrived at last. I love autumn! The colors are my colors. The air is crisp and a bit nippy. All that summer air polution  is cleared away, and the sky is the bluest ever. Happy fall, everyone!

Time to get moving on the morning.

Later, y’all!
