i'm learning to sew using a sewing machine. i have two second-hand sewing machines.
stuff breaks and threads jam and half the time i don't know if i did something wrong or the machine did something wrong.
it's tempting to quit. it's also tempting to think a new machine will fix all the problems. the "parent" in my head is trying to soothe me into being patient with the machines and with my learning process.
and then the catgirl in my head just wants to make a mess.
I can tell that Guy the #Cat misses his brother Lenny. Guy usually sleeps on the sofa, but last night he stayed in bed, cuddled up beside me. This morning, when I put down his breakfast bowl, he looked over at the place where Lenny‘s bowl should be. Then he looked up at me and gave a very long and plaintive #meow. I got down on the kitchen floor and told him how much I love him.
