10 things I wish I knew before adopting kittens #ad #CelebratingMorris / ew & pt

About two months ago I adopted kittens on a whim. I went to go look at them— the key word here is “look.” I swore I wasn’t going to adopt them then and there.

Twenty minutes later I left with a few cans of 9Lives and two kittens in a cardboard box. I’ve introduced Luca and Bub on the blog but I’ve never actually been honest about just how overwhelming, but wonderful adopting two kittens has been. It’s been a journey and here are the things I wish I’d known before adopting kittens.

A mother of two! A working mother of two! I spent the week hanging out with them and going to work to support my sons. Aren’t they pretty?

Last weekend, I fairly suddenly adopted two five-week-old kittens and my life is changed. Their names are Bub and Luca and they’re brothers and I love them dearly.

I’m Moving! 10 things to do before hunting for an apartment

First Apartment Advice: Best things to do before looking for an apartment

Hello! Long time no see. So much has happened! I’m moving!

Just last week I signed the lease on my first-ever actual apartment. I lived away for four years while I was in college, but that was on-campus housing…so this is my first apartment with a lease and landlord and all.

I’m moving with my boyfriend (it’s his first official apartment as well) and from finalizing the choice to live together to signing the lease, it took us less than 30 days, which was a lot quicker than we anticipated!

I think part of the reason the process went so quickly is that we kept a spreadsheet and, once we figured out the area we were interested in, became very determined to take advantage of the lower rent prices happening right now amid the ongoing pandemic.

Still, there are plenty of things I’m glad I did before fully diving into the apartment hunt.

Here are the best things to do before looking for an apartment, based on my experience.

The 4 lists everyone should make

120

It’s been a hot minute! I had a half-written post but I spent three days opening and closing it so, uh, I’m putting that aside for now. February was a pretty garbage month. I spent most of it being extremely stressed, sort of lost, and just generally UGH. By the time the last week of the month hit, my friend and I had a daily countdown until the shortest, worst month of the year was over.

For such a short month, it was largely crappy. A lot of things were thrown my way. At one point I even cried in Union SquParkpark (and saw a rat but was too busy crying to care, and the rat was actually cute? But maybe it’s because I was crying). I sent CAPS LOCK TEXT MESSAGES to a bunch of friends. I didn’t do a lot of things I’d planned to do. I have about 4 unfinished to-do lists shoved in my room somewhere right now.

But, you know, it’s March now.  And last month made me sort of think about what things can help me get out of a bad mood. And about the things put me in a bad mood and why they’re able to do that. I thought about what can I actually control and why exactly I spend a lot of time stressing about that I can’t do anything about…

So I made four lists on a whim and they made me feel better. And they were surprisingly easy to make Here some lists to make (and the ones I made) and why they might just help you feel a bit better and a bit more sane.
