[Check-In] Visiting the Zoo and Mikhail's Origin story 😸 (Patreon)

Heya Butties ✌🏼

First up, yes, I took these photos on my trek to the Zoo yesterday, however, oh gosh... I kinda wish I hadn't gone cause going in the middle of summer probably wasn't my best idea 😅 It was a fun time and I really did enjoy checking out the local wildlife feeling like fish outta water... but that heat though! 🥵 Your boy was dying out there! And I'm like used to hot weather since I always grew up in hot climates but still!

Anyway, I wanted to report that I've been making quite the recovery from the withdrawal symptoms I had been experiencing the week prior, and I think either the new meds have helped to balance me out or my body just naturally found its way back to feeling "normal". Thank you all for your continued support and well wishes cause I seriously do read all your messages and comments and feel so warm and special to receive your positive thoughts! I really just wanna wish them all right back at'cha since I know I'm not the only one going through things!

But anywho, outside of the zoo trip and my health update, in this check-in I go a bit into my cat, Mikhail's, origin story as it was his birthday a few weeks ago (I mighta forgot to mention it when it happened... ooops) / And I also give ya bit of a tease on what I've been reading these past few weeks which I'll delve into on the upcoming podcast! 🎤

I hope these mini-podcast check-ins are fun to listen to as I think they're a cool like journal type approach to what's been going on my life and also give ya a fun peek behind the curtain too 😇

You guys keep being amazing and take care, okay? Have a lovely start to your week and let's start off August on the right foot!
