    CAT UPDATES:
    3 kittens!! 2 all black ones and one black and white 🥰

      This kitty really turned you into a sappy mamma and now grandma, Emily. This is beautiful to see! ❤

      I fostered pregnant cats when I was younger and it's such a treat. They're super independent so mama will do amazing. I always love seeing the kittens eyes start to open and welcoming them into the world a few weeks after they're born, also they're little meows. Ugh, enjoy it, they grow up so fast 💙💙

      LOL that's totally fair. Don't worry I'll make sure to add little kitten breaks in my vlogs until everyone gets sick of it (as if that's possible!)

  • @Chaotic_Pixie

    If there's anything I've learned from my void girl is that she usually knows what's best for me before I know what's best for me. She reminds me when to go to bed, she wakes me up before I sleep so much I feel worse rather than better and she will plop her butt on me or my keyboard or my phone or my knitting or anything I'm reading if she thinks I need a break and then we snuggle. Daily 1hr cuddle sessions and listening to her when she said its bedtime helped drop my cortisone levels... so, I figure she knows best LoL

  • @riankoch9126
    @riankoch9126 Год назад +30

    I love that she was so bossy about forcing you to chill and lay down. Not a fan of the biting either but it is super adorable that her idea of nesting was laying down with you.

  • @badfaith4u

    @DramaLlama2310 Год назад +20

    The continued reading slump and fridge cleaning is probably because of the nerves/anticipation of the babies coming.

    I know that it's rough to be in a reading slump. There are days when I don't feel like reading a lot, so I focus on other interests, like exercising or I read at a slower speed. But do not force yourself to read unless you want to. I loved this vlog a lot and I'm looking forward to your new ones. Do not feel sorry for not reading a lot and take your time. 🥰

    Yay! Congrats on the kittens and being a grandma! I just finished reading The Change, and there is a plot twist at the end that I did NOT see coming. I too was pushing through at about 60%, but it does pick up again and is worth finishing. I actually DNF'd it last year (I was only about 20% in at that time), but was being stubborn about finishing it and decided to pick it up again last week. I purchased, I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Hartman, since you rated it so highly. I plan on starting that one tonight. I know I won't be disappointed. ☺ Hope you have a great rest of the week! 💕

  • @jio5680
    @jio5680 Год назад +1

    I've got into a bit of a slump (but not rly) after 2 months of reading a lot, so I switched mainly to shorter books and different genres than the months before. Most likely was burnout from an intense start of the year.

If I’ve read or watched or listened to a bunch of really intense stories, I have to re-set with a short, fun story. Plus, now that you’re a Kitten-Grandma, you might be distracted for a bit.
