waking up to another day the body wants to remain plastered to a pillow top – the mind longs to power down.
speaking to the beast gives me hives, and I’d rather stay at home where dreams don’t come alive with the intent to strangle me.
every new day is an opportunity for the beast to build another house of lies. I have grown tired of shapeshifting and code-switching, shadowboxing my way to peace.

I watched Mufasa: The Lion King over the weekend and I cried. I laughed. I had myself a “good ole time!” Saturday, March 29, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

Jollyfit 6-In-1 Daily Kidney Function natural supplement for dogs and cats. Jernee has been in Stage 1 kidney failure for about 3 – 4 years now. However, the most recent kidney functions have been slightly more elevated than they have been over the past few years. She still has protein in her urine which she has had even longer, but the vet is concerned that these elevated functions could have sparked the seizure she had several weeks ago. She has had two vet visits total since that seizure and has another one scheduled for April 09, 2025, when the tech will collect urine from her once again for a UPC (Urine Protein Creatinine). If it is elevated again this time around, they want to either change her food (food actually designed for kidney function) or place her on meds. They will do neither. Jernee will be 17 years old the next time she goes to the vet and I will NOT have them medicating her or changing her food. I purchased the natural supplement you see above and have been adding it to her food (which I make myself and have been doing so for the last 3 years) since Saturday evening. This is the route I am taking with my baby. She will not be someone’s money pit because she’s aging. Saturday, March 29, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

The weekends have been a welcome reprieve given the drama and nonsense with which I am currently dealing at work. I now live for the weekends and cannot wait to race home on Friday afternoons. I do not like this feeling and I have not had it since I left my previous job, and it’s all because of one person. But I have prayed about it. I am still praying about it. And I am happy to be able to do what I love for the time being until I have made my move away from this company. Thank God for patience. Here’s hoping everyone has a lovely week ahead! Be safe out there, folks!
