Cat lady, Halloween enthusiast, scientist. 🌱 💕Attempting to run a marathon in every state, apparently this is also a gardening acct now too
so much work to do outside this wknd and pre-halloween display prep to be done. need to clear dead plants and collect any veggies that are ready.

told the cats we have a lot of work and they were like we have a lot of naps to do.

outdoor kitties got some canned chicken after regular dinner tonight. the one has not eaten some times and i was getting concerned. sometimes he needs a prompt from the other cat or i need to show it to him. he ate about half a can of chicken this evening. honestly i’ll feed him whatever he wants

cleared out the crawlspace bc the rats had decided it was their place and put a bait trap in there.

it’s been so gross the past few days the 2 outdoor cats have been in there again so i removed the bait trap.

out in a bed from my cat that passed 3 yrs ago, i think he’d be happy somone is using it

need to get outside to put out the skeletons in their new temp outfits this week. my asters are blooming & look so pretty.

outdoor kitties enjoying the weather.

half marathon; it was so gross out there. super humid and then thankfully the humidity broke a little when it started to pour when i was a little over halfway. my wet socks kept finding the edge of my shoe.

regardless i did it under 3hrs and then biked back to my car. did ~20 miles w bike & run

just got my team shirt. it’s going to be warm and humid sunday for the race. not ideal but i’ll manage.

i still need to raise $80 that’s all i have left, i had hoped to get over my goal. i donated some of my pet sitting $ as donations from those pets.

brought the skellies in to get a wardrobe change before their final halloween form which i still am uncertain this is the first year i haven’t really had a plan.

my aster started to bloom this week and it’s super cute. i may look into getting more of it to fill in places next year.
September 16, 2026 at 1:55 PM
im so close!! if anyone can spare $5-10 i can get to my fundraising goal before the race on sunday!

thank you to those that have donated. if you were closer i’d make you some cookies! i’m making cookies this wknd for some coworkers that donated.

DM me id you want the link, i deleted the posts

trying to make cookies for someone that donated to my fundraiser: out of non-dairy milk.. damn it. and i won’t have time again until next weekend.

i was offering vegan cookies or tarot readings for donations figuring it would be fun and i hate asking ppl for donations 😂 im a terrible fundraiser

took today off work. kleptocat tried to give me back massages last night and it hurt so bad. definitely have bruising. i didn’t sleep as well last night for sure.

all ive done is laundry and water plants. need to make lunches for the week but slow moving.

so it’s a chill day with the cats

well… guess i’m going back to the dirty again another time. i was undertrained but this was a rather technical trail & it just crushed my soul a bit. i also had issues keeping fuel down and my HR under 175 even walking. the air was so thick it was hard to breathe even w extra inhaler puffs.

last night during a meditation the lady in the moon came to the beachside to take to me. she comforted and told me i already have the tools i just need to have the courage to put things behind. she reminding me how resilient and kind i was but it’s time for me to do good for myself for once

it’s only tuesday and this is how i feel and probably look. at least it’s a 3 day week for me before i head to NJ for my first marathon back in 2 years.

charity half marathon next weekend ( should be easy 😆)

then start training for the taco bell 50k fun run, need to start eating it while running 🤪

the long wknd is over so is my crazy pet sitting schedule and work schedule. it’s the week of my marathon and i’m totally under trained but i need to do it.

have neglected the garden lately and have some squash bugs. got a zucchini and some peppers this wknd.

cats helped clean kinda.
September 8, 2026 at 1:18 PM
this is the least restful long wknd. i have a bunch of cat visits, packing for my marathon next wknd. doing house chores bc i can’t leave even for a day with a messy house.

cats are relaxing and chillaxing.

i fell asleep watching practical magic last night. will try to rally today

decided to run a trail: didn’t get far bc of downed trees & then seeing a shelter in the woods & deciding it was best not to approach. ended up running by crazy big houses near rock creek. WTH do these ppl do to afford those monstrosities?
September 5, 2026 at 5:49 PM
crazy storms last night/early this am. the lightning was intense the winds and rain more so. the trees were bending in ways i’ve never seen before.

tree limb fell behind my car thankfully no damage. had to put a sandbag at my basement door.

power is still out with no idea of restoration time

i know i’ve kinda asked this before but im gathering stuff for halloeeen and trying to think of items to put in goodie bags or have that i can give that maybe could help a parent out. i live in a lower income neighborhood.

was thinking cup noodle, instant mac cups, squeeze pouches?

other ideas?

has anyone ever read the starless sea?

i was doing a meditation the other night and somehow ended up following a talking black cat into a tree that lead to the starless sea. the book keeper told me they had been waiting for me for about 20yrs. the kitchen made me tea and the fountain woman
