Hey guys! Sorry for being gone for a while...I think what, it's been almost three or four weeks now? I hope you guys can understand my absence. College reached the height of business for me as the semester draws to a close, and now finals are in two weeks. I've been swamped with final projects and papers, and now I have to start grinding to study for exams.
On a more recent note, one of the reasons I actually went missing is because my boyfriend Jeremy and I adopted two kittens! At first, I was just going to adopt a kitten—because I was in great need of an emotional support animal. I'm terrible with stress management, and I knew a pet would decrease the levels ever-so-slightly, at least to a point where it wasn't driving me insane. So my parents chipped in some extra money and we went to a local shelter here in Flagstaff and I adopted my own kitten that I really, really wanted and had seen a few days prior when I had gone to do a check to see how many kittens the shelter had. I was super lucky this kitten—who screamed to my heartstrings—hadn't been adopted. So, I adopted him, and promptly named him Magnus.
But that left his brother, the last kitten, at the clinic. I feel as though they weren't adopted because the rest of their litter had been adopted, and they got scared. Whenever they were taken out of their cage, they proceeded to run underneath the cages and hide. So they were advertised as being extremely skittish and not to take them out of their cages. Which meant nobody really went to their cage to express interest in them since they couldn't be let out.
My mom felt sad that we left the last kitten there, and she kept talking and talking to my boyfriend about how guilty she felt. Well, that started to rub off on my boyfriend—so him and my mom went back to the shelter so Jeremy could check out the kitten. Well, that lead to him adopting it. He named the kitten Ghost.
Meet Magnus (left) and Ghost (right)! The newest members of mine and Jeremy's family! They have an instagram that can be found at @magnus_and_ghost if you're interested in following cute kittens! I was posting pictures on my own personal instagram...but then I started spamming them because I found them so adorable that I had to make a separate account to control myself.
As of now, we've only had them two weeks but they're growing up so fast! I really cannot believe how big they are already. They're tons of fun to have around, too, and Jeremy has never owned a cat before so this is a new life experience for him and it's amazing to experience it secondhand.
Well, hope everyone's own lives are treating them well! I'll be updating some more this weekend if I can with an anime review and another blog post I just really would like to make.But for now, I need to go back to studying for my lab practical. See you guys soon!
