Thank you so much, everyone!
Things settled down about a week ago.
My parents come home tomorrow and it's been very nice here. I was expecting much more nervousness (no Liam to protect me), but my brother was here every night and it helped tremendously.
I finished The Miner Challenge last month and have been completing the daily exercise to keep my streak. Just doing chores around the house has kept me active!
Had a minor bump in mental health that I was able to talk through. All things considered, a minor eruption is incredible growth from a decade ago.
Cats have been catting. It only took Casper 10 days to realize he could sleep on my bed!

I'm lucky enough to have Nox there as well if Casper joins first!
Little things: got my covid booster (no side effects other than a sore arm, thankfully); saw Bee (there is a regular spot in my trap that knots up and we've named it Michael); Nobu got out of his collar by loosening it somehow (???); I'm especially bad at remembering to water plants, but nothing has died!; I've spent several hours over several days with my sister and it's been lovely
I don't know if I'm going to get back to exercising this month. If I don't, I probably won't post again. Whatever else happens, I'll be back November 1st!
