āGreat news! The vet cleared Carrot for normal activity and says his surgery site looks great!
He's back to being his 100(and 10)% menacing little self, chasing Cinnamon around, jumping up in his tree and using me as various furniture. Bed, diving board, warm, chair, you name it.
And his PURRS! Are SO LOUD! š§”
Something Weird Happened Today!
Hear me outāimagine you're commuting, or walking from Point A to Point B, you know. Insert activity here.
It's an activity during which you usually have some kind of media playing in the background. Podcast, video essay, music, the works.
For me, I was driving while listening to Distractible (LOOK, I KNOW ABOUT THE MEMES BUT I PROMISE IT DOESN'T AFFECT ME LIKE THAT OKAY). I had to stop at my apartment to grab something, so I powered down my car...and upon returning, I realized something.
The Bluetooth connection between the car and my phone just...was not Bluetooth-ing. Of course, driving as you do, your goal is to focus on the road and the world around you.
That being said, after a lot of undiscernible internal dialogue that kinda ended with "aaaAAA," something weird happened to me.
My thoughts immediately turned to how quiet it was, and how scary it was being left alone with said thoughts, and how I need to focus on the road, andā
Okay. Deep breaths.
Involuntary as that moment of silence was, I was thankful for it, because it reminded me that I really need to live life at a slower pace.
So much of my life has been fast-paced, distracted, and "PANIC!", that I forget to live life in the moment. Appreciate the now, what's right in front of me. That's something I struggle with that I'd love to practice.
But I dunno! That's just a moment of my life that I wanted to share with you. Ever have moments in your life that stand out like that? Reply to this email and let me know!
Carrot's ER + Surgery Bill Update!
Together, we've raised 18% of my goal of half of Carrot's ER and Surgery bill, which is SO HUGE! ;-: <3
If you'd like to help us, there're a couple of ways you can make a HUGE impact, all of which I've outlined in this blog post!
One of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to help is by sharing the post around!
And of course, if you want to support us and get a little something exciting in return, I've made some sticker sheets that also come with mini thank-you cards signed by the (little) man of the hour himself!
You can snag the Baby Carrot! š„sticker sheet on Orribu.Co!
Streams Are Back!
This Sunday at 8:30pm EDT (GMT -4), tune in to Twitch or YouTube (I'll be streaming on both) and join me for a casual night in the studio. I'm not sure what I'll be working on--maybe another hand-bound notebook project or painting my OCs with coffee! :0c
Thanks so much for reading!
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Special Thanks to the Fruit Salad!
