Ever since we got Ull, I’ve never experienced less bouts of real deep depression. I told Fredrik the other day that I’ve come to realization that I cannot die now. Not when there’s a grey hyperactive ball of fur that needs me to feed him and clean his litter.

I will be honest, I suck at spelling. I may be slightly better than the dyslexic at least that’s what I think. It could also have to do with the fact that I’ve been surrounding myself with good spellers. Who knows. But it took me years to sort out “get” and “got”. It’s not like [...]
