Anxiety here. Storms here.
Just got a pet recently, but she isn’t allowed to be here. The mouse problem got outta control. She ended the matter in one week’s time. Good girl!
The thunder made her so scared she crawled into her carrier and wouldn’t come back out for quite a while after the storm was over.
My life has more issues than Sports Illustrated right now.
It used to be when I had a lot bothering me, I would keep busy. Now I am mobility compromised, and I tire very rapidly.
I double checked my backup light supply in case we lost power. That helped me feel I was doing something productive. After that, I mostly listened to the rain stupefied that it was coming down so hard for so long.
The thunder was quite busy for a while, and lots of it very close. I was sitting right by my big plate window when one went off close by, and practically filled my full view out the window. It was pink and red, and looked quite a bit like a fireworks burst.
I let out a loud yelp.
I let myself feel like the sky was juggling my worries for me, and when the noise stopped I would be allowed to feel relief.
It kind of worked, for right now anyway.
Now kitty keeps looking out the window, you know, to make sure the world is still there.
I guess that is a good thing for us all to remember. No matter how much we worry, when we look out the window, the world is still there.
