I thought of the topic for today even before I got home for lunch. That time, I was pretty sure Grindelle the kitty was still breathing. I had my lunch and went to check on the kittens to help feed them additional milk. I found her lifeless on the corridor. 😭😭 it's honestly disheartening on my part that another kitten died "on my watch." πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘



She did look like she was just sleeping. πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘ I can't feel sad and do nothing, because I still have two of her siblings, Gracia and Greta. I left them with Mowe's kittens for now. How I wish I have more time at home, so I could monitor them more closely. 18 days old. Grumpy's kittens are still in critical stage. I will need to do my homework as cat mom. πŸ€”πŸ€”

Alas, a clearer space at the terrace. Whew! πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ so ironic that I'm talking about the pursuit of happiness and yet I'm feeling a little down because we just lost a kitten. Still, deep down inside I know that I'm in a happy place, making conscious choices as I live my life. There was a time when my only goal in life was to be happy. I'm glad to say that I have passed that stage. It's worth mentioning that my daughter's workmate had mentioned before how happy I look. That was back in BC (before corona) era when I would sometimes drop by my daughter's workplace. So many #newabnormal practices now that we could not enjoy. πŸ˜’πŸ˜’ and I do know it contributes to a bit of sadness all around. It's more important to keep spreading good vibes everywhere.

Your vlogs always makes me smile....first of all, though, I do want to say I am sorry about your sweet kitten. Girl, you are NOT a failure. Sometimes, you can only do so much & you were obviously very attentive. So, please don't blame yourself. Sometimes they are only meant to touch a life for a short time. Timmy sends his love! (And I am so glad you chose that title he he.) πŸ’œ

And yes, the pursuit of happiness is so important as well as gratitude. It really helps one stay in the right energy to live life to the fullest & enjoy our experiences while we are here. We don't know how long we have so knowing this, it's good to live life to the fullest. Take stock of what's truly important. And being YOURSELF is vital. Keeping up with the Joneses and the FOMO really hurts more than helps. I see so much of this in the world, BUT I have noticed it lessening as time goes, which gives me hope. :)

I am in the SL world too & get my butt beaten daily so fun time! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

I love you, girl, and counting the days down with you. I am looking forward to my Saturday (my day off) so I can unplug and relax. Now, every week, I have that to appreciate! :)

Sending #pixiedust & love your way! πŸŒΌπŸ’œπŸ˜»

sending love your way too! πŸ’•πŸ’• Thank you for the encouraging words. I guess what's important is I don't give up, no matter what. I keep learning and that's what will help me be better, not just as a cat mom or plantita, but overall as a human being πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸΌ

My goodness I think I will need to watch @ph1102's videos on SL πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ I did battles last night but had no clue what I was doing 😝😝 crazy me for just jumping right in!

Doing a lot more offline bonding with the cats. Just waiting for Mowe's litter box to be delivered. Then I'll be training the little ones to feed and use the litter box. 😸😸

Take lotsa care! Thanks for the pixiedust ✨✨ let's count down to the weekend!!!

I agree with @pixiepost and feel sorry for the loss of your kitten.

I started playing rising star through your referral link. It is pretty fun!

wow thanks! I love games that you can set then just go back to for once or twice a day πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ that's stacking for me πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸΌ

I have five other kittens. Three are quite well taken care of by cat mom Mowe. The other two need more help, so I focus my energy there. 😸😸

Yeah, it is pretty good for that. I guess after a while your don't have to do the 5 minute busker missions anymore.

So do you have any tips?

that would depend on your strategy. I worked on growing my starbits at the onset. I tried doing the lower level missions till I got the starbits bonuses. then just keep going to the next level :D

I think I’ll just try to level as quickly as possible, to get to the slower missions that are also more rewarding. But without buying too many cards on the market.
