My first kettlebell workout is complete.

I almost DNF‘d this yesterday.
I was only 3 chapters in though.
I haven‘t read an entire book in one day in a LONG time.
I was truly captivated by this one. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming.
4⭐️

Major trigger warnings if you‘re considering reading this though.

I got a kitten. 😊
My siblings actually rescued her from the cold. She had a lid stuck on her head and her leg was also stuck in it.
The tip of one of her ears is frostbit and she has a scar on her foot but otherwise she‘s very happy and healthy.
It‘s been nice reading and cuddling with her.
She‘s so chill and so sweet. 💜
My fingers are crossed that she and my 4 year old cat will like each other though. 😬🤞🏻

Texreader She‘s a darling!!! ❤️🐈 2y
Crazeedi She's precious! I just got a rescue kitty 3 weeks ago, he turned up on my sisters porch. Have you named her yet?? 2y

I've been in a reading slump for so long. It makes me so sad. I used to read so much and now it's something I rarely do. 😔

Luckily I'm already very much invested in this book. I'm only on page 13. So, fingers crossed that this will finally help me out of my slump.

Trashcanman Good luck, I feel you. I'm in a slump too 3y

Put in a hotel for a week (or more) because my bathroom had to be gutted due to a leak from the apartment above me. (Which has clearly been leaking for a very long time.)

I was like, sweet! Now I'll have plenty of time to read.

Nope. I'm still mostly distracted by my phone, having cable tv or my cat.😣

Bookzombie I‘m sorry about your bathroom. I find the TV very distracting when I stay in a hotel too. 3y

I've been more into audiobooks lately than I have my entire life.
It definitely passes the time at work and helps me get some reading in since I'm usually too tired to do any physical reading.🤍💙

It started off with only 3 dogs in bed with me tonight, now I have all 5.
Oh, the joys of dogsitting for my family.
They were giving me space earlier on in the night (as seen in the photo), but now I barely have any room. It's not comfortable. I'm losing sleep, but I hope they are at least enjoying the company.😂

Trashcanman Hope you are well Kayla. Hope you'll check in. You're missed 5y

blondie @Trashcanman @GrilledCheeseSamurai Thank you both for checking in. Things haven't been good, I'm not okay, but I will be. I probably won't be on much for awhile. I'd prefer not to talk about it on here, but as of today people are aware of my situation and have offered support. 4y
Trashcanman @blondie Have you tried the national suicide hotline? I have, no joke many times. I never give me name and I don't have someone telling me all the ways I've done this to myself. It might help, please consider it. If you ever need to talk to someone I'm always here. I know we don't know each we'll be were are the same in many ways. I know you want the pain to stop and I hope it does soon. You matter and are worthwhile. 4y
blondie @Trashcanman Thank you. I appreciate it. Unfortunately it's more to it than my mental illness, that part of it has just made it much worse. I've caused so much chaos and pain recently. I'm trying to make things better. My family called me and had a deep talk with me last night. I'm still emotional over it. I'm hoping things will start looking up after facing them last night. My heart aches, but I know it has to get better eventually. 4y
Trashcanman @blondie hugs, don't be a stranger. Hope things get kinder soon. 4y
blondie @Trashcanman thank you 🖤 4y

I made another trip to the library.
This time with my grandpa and grandma. My grandpa is the only other reader in my family and is probably the reason I've always loved to read.
We got him a new library card and I showed him where the history section was and did my own thing.
I was having a panic attack the entire time, but I pushed through it the best that I could because I wanted my grandpa to take his time. 💜

LiteraryinLawrence Sorry you had a panic attack! 💜 Do you know what brought it on? Hope you‘re taking some time to rest now. Looks like a great batch of books! 5y

Today was quite the day.
A rough day at work, but in the end it only made me feel stronger.
Then I spent some much needed time with my mom. We went shopping for birthday presents for my grandma. I got myself a new lamp for reading while I was at it. And we stopped at the dollar store and I got two new books as well.
I'm pooped, but I'm content.
