actuallyclintbartonyes that's right, folks, your friendly neighborhood katie-kate is STILL ALIVE!!! Have an update post in a totally haphazard manner that may not entirely make sense!~
we have moved into a trailer with working AC (and gotten one of two definitely-required air circulators, so birdie can use her office but our mattress is still in the living room) and we're working on getting settled.
i think i'm dealing with autistic burnout from the extended stress of the past 8-9 months, which is... unfun. Especially since it's made my temper much shorter and my ability to shut my goddamn mouth before i cause more trouble that much less functional.
i had a p bad meltdown a couple nights ago that i'm still paying for, physically and emotionally. Bluh.
On the bright side, we have our own space and it's very nice to have that again, and i have a couple weeks at least to just... rest and recuperate before i have to do much regular adulting.
Mal's staying with us for a couple nights bc their mom went on an immature hissy fit, which makes me feel a little bit (right now) like there are too many people in the house, but I don't begrudge them the visit IN THE LEAST. Seriously, like. I would not have offered if I wasn't ok with it, and their mom was being awful and pissing me off from across town, the house is just a little over-full for the next couple days.
There was a little bit of drama with a neighbor regarding some stray starving kittens and their probably-about-6-month-old mama that the neighbors decided abruptly that they owned when we decided to take them to the SPCA instead of letting them go feral, and by "a little bit" i mean the cops were called, TWICE, but the kitties have not been seen outside since the second time so I am hoping that they are actually getting the care they need now, and that's all that I really care about in the end.
in other news, seeing people call me kate and km continues to make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. aw yeah finding names that fit. kind of wish i'd realized how much i like kate when i started going to temple bc now i'm torn between sticking with mat and shyly asking if they mind switching to kate. chosen names are hard sometimes.
