The other day, I saw this meme on my Facebook feed. Having friends who own cats, and having had cats myself, I figured that it would be the perfect post to share.

I've said before that my life does not revolve around being transgender. Instead, this is only one aspect to who I am. As I've gotten older, I have broadened my interests to include photography, painting, travel, and performing arts such as music and the theater. However, I have no developed much of an interest in things that are typically masculine in nature, such as sports. I couldn't give much of a hoot about who wins the World Series or Super Bowl unless one of my home teams is playing in the event. Although I understand much about what makes a car tick, I don't have to suffer through someone "Mansplaining" things to me, as I am always in male mode when I bring my car in for service.
Today, I had two events which necessitated my appearance as Mario. First, I went for my third booster shot for Covid, and had a flu shot at the same time. After a couple of hours, I then had to appear at a co-op board meeting where we discussed some issues (which I won't discuss here) with the owner of our managing agency. If it weren't for these two things, I would have gotten dressed as Marian and done some serious window shopping at a few stores.

Returning to the cat at the top of this entry...
Anyone who has had cats will appreciate the above image. Most cats have a habit of using their claws against furniture and other objects. As much as I'm glad that my apartment no longer houses fur babies, I still miss the cat that attached itself to me for 17 years. However, without someone who could take care of a cat when I'm away, I will avoid adopting new fur babies to keep me company.
