I was just sitting on our big leather couch watching guilty-pleasure TV shows when my normally bitey kitten came up and settled herself down right on my tummy and fell asleep, purring.

This is what life's all about.

Yes, I'm full of stress most of the time.

Yes, my husband is full of stress most of the time.

Yes, our bank account is miniscule.

Yes, our jobs suck and we're both hunting for new ones.

Yes, my health hasn't been perfect and I have spent a lot of money on precription drugs and doctor visits this month.

Yes, our government is fucking us all over and the world is in terrible shape.

But you know what?

Sometimes you just need a kitten to fall asleep on you, and you can forget all that other shit for a little while and relax.

Sigh.
