08 : day trip & zoo

hello (ФωФ) i just got back home from a trip the other day, and finished cat sitting today. lots of things that i saw!

topic of the day: my trip & how it played into recovery for me

i went a few hours away from home to visit some relatives, and i stayed the night over. many new things and experiences... for example, i got properly tipsy for the first time after drinking wine all night lololol. honestly just felt sort of off balance and nothing more. funnily enough though i think getting tipsy is what allowed me to endure the night at all. i was initially staying upstairs in the room id be spending the night in but my sister told me she was drinking, so... :3c

it was very loud for several hours and the house was filled with people i see maybe once a year if that, so usually i'd be super avoidant and stay away. like a cat hiding under the bed from people.!! i guess the wine helped balance me out though because i had fun and stayed put for a decent amt of time before retiring for the night

in the morning i ate something i dont usually have & got to... hold a rabbit?!? apparently my relative owns a mini rex O__O i had no idea! well she brought him out for me to hold and it was so so precious. seriously cute little thing.

once me & my family left her place, we went to the zoo (ФωФ) it was SO so hot. unbearably so... we really should've taken water with us 😵. but all the exhibits were lovely. i saw everything i was most excited for more & took a lot of pictures with my kakashi plush :-). the zoo also had a lot of noises, sights, smells, etc. so sensory wise i endured it very well. i was more focused on being dehydrated than anything else. ill upload some pictures i took after i post this blog - probably just the kakashi ones ehe

then of course once i got back home, my neighbors left town and needed someone to watch their cats. haha they got into a thing or two inbetween the times i went to check on them and scared me >_< but their owners said it was totally ok. such sweeties! also proves i am not mildly allergic to cats. that would be really bad considering i am a cat myself 

okay i'm currently at my grandmothers hiding in a room because.... its too much sensory wise xD i guess ive had enough excitement the past few days that now this is too much. but it gives me a bit of time to sit down and write about this all. i'm very happy i ended up going and it gave me a lot of hope for my recovery with my mental health... it's been a long while since i went on a trip away from home like that, especially staying the night at someone elses home. i handled it really well & feel proud of myself.... yay! i have therapy next week (ah and a doctor's appointment tomorrow, to up my medicine...) and lots to talk about there. yaaaay recovery yay progress yay there is hope in this world yet

ok thats all i wanted to talk about. yay. bye! swishes my tail and puffs into a cloud of smoke
