One Year Ago Today

The Journey began.

My goodness, I look so exhausted. I WAS exhausted! I had only given myself a couple of days between ending my office job and leaving town and ran balls-to-the-wall right to the end.

I woke up around 2:45 that morning with a massive headache and we had to be up (well the plan was to be up) by 4:00/4:30 a.m. to…

The Raleigh World: Eleven Months

Wow. We’re closing in on an entire year in Raleigh. It still blows my mind that I actually moved across the United States.

With two cats.

(Who hate car rides.)

I have yet to get over to the beaches but at least I no longer have to constantly remind myself that the ocean is EAST and the mountains are to the west.

Although the power bill was actually the harbinger of winter here in Raleigh, the…

A Very Vegan Vicster Thanksgiving

I grew up on those big turkey Thanksgiving feasts, where grandpa and all of the uncles, aunts, and cousins came over and we stuffed ourselves silly. Well, since going veggie almost five years ago, those big turkey dinners are wasted on me. The closest I would get was picking up 1/4 pound of ground turkey from the local butcher and cooking up a treat for Dos Gatos Locos.

The Raleigh World: Ten Months

We’re getting into Hot Cocoa Season. HOORAY!!! I’m wearing shirts with sleeves that extend below my elbows. WOOT!!! The trees are turning and the colors are stunning!

However, it’s still and forever Allergy Season for me because apparently, I’m allergic to air.

Win some. Lose some.

It’s Hot Cocoa Time! Where DOES the time go?

It’s mind-blowing to realize that I’m well into my fourth season in…

It’s ALWAYS Cat Day Around Here 😸

Today is National Cat Day. I thought I’d celebrate some of the sweet kitties from Best Friend Pet Adoption.

First, let’s celebrate some recent adoptions!

I just knew Oakley would find a family quickly. Such a sweetheart! I can’t believe this sweet baby was available for so long! I’m SO HAPPY he’s got a new home! Uno is such a sweet boy! He starts purring as soon as you pay attention to him. 😻

Uno’s…

The Raleigh World: Month Eight

Sorry it’s a little late, fam. Had a bit of a situation over here.

An unwelcome visitor, so to speak.

I’m just glad it didn’t completely trash my place.

As I was starting to think of what to write about my eighth month in Raleigh, a swirl of clouds appeared off the coast of Africa. Over the next 10 days, that swirl got bigger. Once it got big enough to become a tropical storm it got a name:…
