hello !!! what a great way to end the month: i did it! i went on the walk i was talking about yesterday! i am so so beyond proud of myself. it was a very short walk, only like 15 minutes, but that is so huge for me i cried tears of joy when i sat back at my computer chair.

i saw a lot of cats! there was one that looked like my cat, a tabby one that was sleeping in the grass (super cute), and a black cat called bob who ran up to me and rolled around on his belly. he let me pet him! he had a shaved mark on his back so i assume he went through the hell of the vets. i relate to him. not excited for my 200 needles and injections within the next month. he had DO NOT FEED in caps on his collar, so i suppose he is a greedy pig. he is so sweet though! i took pictures of them all, and also a few panoramics. i'm lucky i live in a pretty open area with a lot of nature, so i could just walk in the fields and chill out with no one around. thank you to my dad for supporting and encouraging me yesterday! i want to try to do this a few more times, with the goal of eventually taking more long, scenic walks. i love nature so much and i miss it a lot.

other than that, i downloaded a new minecraft modpack called homestead last night. i just finished building the exterior of my first house, not counting the mudshack we all start with, and i am so excited to expand it and build more things! but yeah. i had no one to share that joy with, so i'll post it here. maybe someone stumbles across this site somehow and can relate. if i can go out when i haven't been out in over a year, and face the risk of shitting myself if i get the tiniest bit anxious, then you can do it too! you can be anything you want to ^_^
