My heart hurts today. My dog’s bessfren crossed the Rainbow Bridge and I don’t know how to help him understand this loss. Not to mention that my soul hurts with her people. She was an amazing pupper. We will miss you forever, Marley. 💔💕💔💕💔💕

Still not fully dealing with the fact that she’s gone. That I will never see this face again? Insane. 💔

My heart is so heavy today. We are saying goodbye to my heart kitty this afternoon and… I just don’t know… when I say she’s perfect, I mean she is PERFECT. My heart hurts.

A cart filled with skeins at yarn in shades of green and pink.
I started crocheting over the holiday break. I’m now addicted to yarn.

And since I won’t have a job because all federal grants and funds are being suspended, I’ll have plenty of time to have lots of babies before it’s too late!! Yay!

Facebook and Insta might be next, though I’d hate to lose contact with so many friends and family across the globe.
My brain woke me up this morning… stupid brain…
