Poems are more fun when they start by a “bet you can’t put ___ in a poem”

Was trying to get a cute pic of my cat eating a lil slurp. Got this instead 👄👄

My greatest accomplishment in life is the fact that I’m our cat’s preferred human

A heinous ex said, “You don’t live life. You just read all the time.”

Life is those intentions.

Was feeling special because my cat curled up beside me to sleep tonight. 15 minutes later the heater, the vent conveniently points at my side of the bed, turned on. Still counting it as a win though.
