Hanged out with my friends multiple times this week.

Last night we were at my friend’s grandma’s house because she wasn’t home and said we can hang out there. So we went to the pool and then came home and were talking and shouting crazy stuf, how 6 close bros do, laughed a lot. We were having weird conversations till 2am and were ready to sleep, then my friend found out his grandma was home all along. Poor lady was so scared and scarred from things she heard she pretended she was asleep😂😂😂

We got so embarrassed we left and I laughed at this absurd scenario and the insane things she heard so much my whole face was hurting.

Sitting back petting a kitten for about an hour.

Was pet sitting for two of my best friends. They had lost their cat not very long ago in an accident. I loved that cat too, though it didn’t hit me as hard as it did them obviously.

But they ended up adopting a kitten a few weeks ago, after they had already scheduled a business/vacation trip.

So, I went up to spend some time at their house. Their dog and me are buddies from when he was a pup, but this was my first meeting with the kitten. It went swimmingly. She’s a little hellion, but warmed up to me quickly, and there was much hilarity between the two.

Yesterday morning though, she was in a cuddle frenzy. Just absurdly in need of sitting and lying on a human while being lavished with scritches and pets. Her purr box is vastly outsized. She’s maybe a pound and a half, but purrs like she’s tiger sized; audible across a room.

I sometimes struggle to live in the moment, West with my brain always churning away at something. And there were moments the brain tried to pull at its leash. But for a solid hour there, all I did was lean back in silence and commune with teh kitteh. It was sublime.

I think I barely passed for legit small talk on the elevator with a stranger. As someone who is historically very poor with small talk, it made my day ngl.
