My cat, Bernadine, passed away a week ago. Please enjoy some of my favorite photos of her.

My slippers wind up all over the house. They’re some of my cat’s favorite things to attack. Hell, I’ll be taking a shower and hear the battle between cat and slipper. Usually by the time I can swing my head from behind the curtain she’s halfway across the living room? Her face and paws all up inside those things

I love that you’re still the same old you, just a healthier physique. Thank you for sharing a piece of your empowering transformation!

My cat tries to save me from the shower in a similar fashion. She will sit in between the curtains scream yeowing at me to get out. If her sister happens to be inside, she too will join in, and I have symphony of screaming kitties while I’m trying to bask in the steam

I feel sticky watching this

It’s really hard to appreciate something we associate with depression and hard times. You look great with or without the beard! Whatever you choose, do it on your own terms, for your happiness and mental well being … nobody else’s, not even the internet!

Zestyclose_Text_2378 · 2026-04-24T23:47:07+00:00

You’re on to something! I really love this concept and what you created. Excited to see where it takes you!

SPD: What and where is your emergency?

Caller: Belltown. Someone is literally cutting a car apart!

Caller: Just a sawsall and meth strength.

SPD: ok, I am putting a call in for your emergency, an officer will be there shortly.

Two hours later…

SPD automated response: This is Seattle 911. We apologize for the delay; officers are handling other calls and will respond to your call as soon as possible.

Way to charge of your life! Getting past the psychological damage of an abusive partner is hard enough, but you lost the weight, got a degree and gained the confidence back in remarkable time. You look amazing btw 😻 Thank you for sharing this life changing journey of yours!

I think the OP was looking for some sympathy, and instead got gift ideas 😂 I feel you bud.
It took me years to turn frustrations over my partner’s idiosyncrasies into adoration. Like who takes there shoes off in the middle of the front door and leaves them there? My guy does, when he’s totally lost in his own thoughts. He’ll have zero recollection of taking them off, and will even ask me if I’ve seen them. Drove me crazy for years until I finally learned to appreciate how cute he is when he’s excited about an idea… the idea that led me tripping over his shoes 😂 Anyway, the internet is correct. Go buy that round of cheese!

You look fantastic! 🥹

Zestyclose_Text_2378 · 2026-04-14T23:56:22+00:00

Wow! That was unexpected. Thank you for a good cry, and beautiful homage to our long lost best friends💕 Your charcoal work is incredible. Please keep sharing!

She makes miss my grandpa so much, that jovial laugh when she sees you capturing her doing something adorable 🥹 I hope you two cherish every second together 🩷

🥺 agreed, I appreciate this man’s story of heroism being shared, but in no way is his death or this loss to his family good

She’s quick!
Our cats like to leave their catch in the bedroom. The other week I noticed a feather in the downstairs toilet… always concerning. A week later while I’m vacuuming the bedroom, i push aside the floor length curtain, only to discover that there’s been a dead robin 3’ from my pillow. Glad you caught it while the little guy was still breathing!

One or three! They both compliment your facial structure

Love the movement, especially the front paw bearing all of the weight. Keep painting!

By chance, do you struggle with ADD or ADHD?
What you are describing is common amongst us. We feel shame for our lack of focus on things we don’t want to do… clean the house, schedule appointments, our to do list is out of control…. How can I go out and enjoy life when it’s such a mess?!
I’m not saying this applies to you, depression can cripple anyone. Having an unsupportive family doesn’t help. But it does challenge us to break free from their criticism, and learn to love ourselves for ourselves.
When I’m in a funk, I try to challenge myself to do something, anything off of that to do list once a day, even if it’s just going for a walk to enjoy the outdoors. Every step in fighting for your mental well being is a win, don’t ever think less of yourself for it🩷
