An Innocent Life #20: Getting My Life Back Together

There’s a reason why there’s wine in this graphic, and that’s because I NEED it. Life has been a bit too hectic recently, but I think everything will go back to normal once I submit things for this grant I’m working on.

Please look at my precious child, who gets better healthcare than I do.

October has NOT been a great month to be. My wallet got stolen AND my laptop decided that this was the time to die (though to be fair, I should have expected it because it’s been almost six years, but still). So I not only did I have to replace all my credit cards, but then right after I had to replace my laptop. And get all my files back.

ROUGH LIFE.

Anyways, life moves on. Though I am very excited for October to be over and done with.

Also, I’m currently at Shannon’s, because it’s my Fall break. Not that I am getting much of a break haha.

How has your month been going? I haven't done one of these things in forever.

Let's buy more wine! My month is... similar, tbh. I need a break too. And more wine. Always more wine. And cute cat is cute.

People are such pricks. My grandmother always said people would steal the eyes out of your head and still come back for your eyelashes. Hopefully someone hands it in Val. And a new laptop too. Thank goodness for Shannon and alcohol. Cat is beautiful, look at that little face. Her markings are gorgeous. I hope next month is a better month for you sweetheart <3 <3

Sadly no one handed it in, but I got everything replaced so hopefully it's all over now? AND YES Shannon always provides me with alcohol hahaha.

Thank you Kelly! My cat says hello and thanks for the compliment :D

Sorry to hear that October was so unfortunate, but good news! November is right around the corner and hopefully you get a little re-charged being with Shannon.

So sorry to hear about your bad month so far---hope it improves, even without the help of wine (well, and with it too---why not?). Your cat is absolutely adorable, by the way!

Thanks Nicole! And even though there's a couple days left in October, it's already starting to get better haha
