Mom is a good person. Not afraid to talk with her.

- I hope Dua iis ok and everything goes well at the vet. It's bitter cold here. All the snow started melting and then froze. On my way back from the doctor it started snowing again. I was so glad that I was on my way home and wouldn't have to go anywhere for a while. There's another storm coming our way this weekend too. XD :D

- I, personally, feel that's the way every mother should be. Sadly, as I know, that's not always true. I'm glad yours is accepting and willing to talk to you about issues. :D

1. Do you prefer to be called by your username or another name? Have you had any other usernames prior to this one? I prefer Honey. No, this has been my only username.

2. What are your interests on Subeta? (Human Avatars/Pets/Battle/Restocking etc. ) I like restocking, flash games, and I want to improve my pets.

3. How often do you play on site and will you be active within the group? I'm on every day after work, sometimes just to do quests if I have to be in early the next day. I'm online on and off throughout the day on my days off. I'll be active, I might be shy at first but I'll give it my best effort to get to know everyone. :)

4. Why are you interested in joining Kindred Spirits? Are you currently in any other groups? This will be my first group. I was told groups are a good way to find friends and this one looks really active. I'm hoping that I will fit in well and be able to get to know people and make friends.

5. Tell us a bit about you! (This doesn't have to be lengthy or detailed you can save that for your introduction in the group! Think of this as an ice breaker question. ) My name is Melissa, I'm 28 years old. I like to travel and I've moved around a lot. My profile background is currently a stop I made on a road trip. I love driving to new places and seeing new scenery. I love animals, especially cats. I also like art and sometimes I paint, nothing amazing though. I'm very shy and I have social anxiety, currently in therapy and proud of it. I was originally looking to start being on Gaia or Neopets again, but they've both changed a lot so I just looked on google for similar sites and this popped up. I'm still finding my way around, but I really like it and everyone is so nice. I'm really excited for all the unique holidays, everything here is really cute and different. Feels just right for me. :D

Anyways, I hope you will let me join. Thank you for reading, I hope it wasn't too much.

Welcome to KS. I've sent you an invite. We do most of our chatting in this thread and any contests and event things go on in the group forums. Take a look around and any questions, about KS or subeta in general, don't hesitate to ask. Everyone in KS is kind and helpful.

My name is also Melissa. ❤ No worries about shy. We've many shy people and introverts. My tendancy is to be around for a bit and then get overwhelmed and I need to be quiet for a bit.

Though, been not feeling well the last few weeks so I've been quiet since after the holidays. Starting to feel better so I should chat more often.

Thank you very much.

I'm the same way. I don't mind socializing, but when I hit my limit I don't really respond for a bit. ^^;

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Holidays are pretty taxing, but we're going into the best time of year for introverts. Between new years and easter things are so peaceful and chill. Plenty of time to recharge. :)

Tbh I don't mind the snow at all, but I wish this ridiculous cold would end!! This is my first winter with a car in 15+ years and I've already had to get a boost twice ;;_;;
It was -45C or something the first time, but only -18C the second.... the second time I accidentally left the key turned once in the ignition, which was apparently enough to drain it ^^; Sorry I didn't see your comment last time, I feel you on the arthritis pain. I have bad osteoarthritis in my knees and the left one in particular was extremely stiff and sore in the bad cold.

Oh see yeah -7C is balmy compared to the cold we've had lately haha I definitely just go out in a hoodie at that temp! Where are you from? :)

Hi! Welcome :) I'm new too (to the group, not Subeta). Whats your favourite pet? :D

- We had one of those battery chargers when we lived in Minneapolis. it can be a life saver. It's been so long since then that I don't remember how much ours cost us. :) Yeah, the arthritis is bad right now but it eases up when I judiciously apply the heating pad. :D

- How is Diua doing? I hope she's feeling better.

- ffeel better soon. :D

- Welcome to the group! How are you doijng this fine weekend? :D

Hi everyone (I'm still alive 🤞🏻) even if I have to work tomorrow too! I can't believe I wasn't able to collect my lumi gifts yet. They are abandoned in my item storage , I didn't have the time to make a decent HA with them, neither. Btw, coming back to work wasn't so traumatic as I thought, even if it's quite tricky to organise everything. How are you doing? :)

Thank you. :) I like the blobs the most, they're so cute. I want a bunch of them.

Thank you. I'm doing alright minus work being a little crazy. From the look of things this is my last afternoon to relax for a bit. :P How are you doing?

We got a lot of snow for here. Now we have an inversion again and I have a bad headache. My bun bun was having issues so we went to the vet and it was her teeth. She had sedation and got her teeth filed yesterday. Today she just wants to nap.

welcome.

- Oh, wow. Going back to work after maternity leave is difficult. How are you holding up? I'm glad it wasn't as chaotic ass you thought it would be. I hope it continues that way. :D

- A hectic work schedule can be rough. I hope it goes easy for you. :) I'm doing well.Tryihng to restock and failing. lmao 😂

Welcome! I am Leonie, Dutch, Female, Nurse and cat mom of 3 cats.

I am from The Netherlands.

& lurkers Dua is doing great! I sometimes think she did not had an operation at all, did had 3 days of pain meds.

Thursday was a sleep & recover day and she was not a happy camper wearing her romper. But she was licking her wound so she had to keep it on lol. Friday she was almost herself playing with her brothers and well today she was a nutter, rough and playfull.

Wound is looking nice, cleand and not irritaed. Benefits of a nurse (me) in home. The 29th stiches will come out when she has her check up.

Work has been busy, came home with a migraine yesterday so had to take some meds and a sleep. Off today, i made a good shift trade lol. So relaxing and tomorrow nightshift (not a fan, still alone and a busy shift).

I'm almost good 😂 I'm balancing between cooking broth in order to freeze the biggest amount possibile and trying to remember everything about meds in the crazy flu season But maternity did encrised my patience 😂even if Ill people are not funnier than they used to be, even with a new amount of self control Dua is a though girl! ( I cannot remember, is she a cat? I hope I didn't mess it up!)

- Yay for a day off. I hope your day off is very relaxing. It's good to hear Dua is doing so well. Catts are so resilient. Plus, she had the advantage of you being a nurse. :) Have you said anything about the work conditions? You should. This was a problem the first time you worked with them and it resulted in your resignation. I hope they take better care this time because you deserve better. :D

- I'm glad you're doing so well . After my youngest was born I decided I didn't want to go back. I decided to be a stay--at-home mom because I couldn't stand the seperation any longer. My kids were sure happy at that but it was stressful when it came to paying the bills. I'm happy to hear that everything is sliding into place for you. :D

Yes Dua is a girl and my youngest cat. Black british shorthair of 7 months. Meez & Mooz are boys, european short hair, 3 years old. Mooz is black & white (tuxedo) and Meez is red (tabby).

i relaxed my butt off lol! And Dua is very resillient. We had multiple talks with the boss, old and new. There are some changes but not enough and still alone for 4 floors. There is a 2nd co-worker but they are 'stuck' at the closed ward. They help when can but still they are not with me they only come if i call... Will see how it goes and if it goes crap i will let them know.

Yay for relaxing your butt off! You deserve it. I hope it isn't crap from here on but if it is I'd really put the presure on your boss because being so short staffed isn't safe. Not for you or the patient. I hope you're able to come to a resolution that helps both. :D

my nightshift flew by, it was busy! My poor feet, lol. I wrote an email how it went and well will see reaction on thursday when i am back at work. We have a meeting about how the nightshifts go with the changes next month. Will see then..

I slept from 8:00 till noon, Mooz was in my face asking for lunch, he scared the crap out of me lol

Had a shower, put on clean pj's and couch potato today.. and back to bed on time. I like it when you are done with night shift you can go to bed twice in 1 day lol

- I'm glad it flew by. Good luck with your meeting next month. I hope it leads to some beneficial changes.Cats are like that. they don't have something? They make sure you know it one way or another. Yay for couch potato time and for going to bed twice in one day. I hope they're both relaxing and refreshing. :D

It uh.. didn't go easy. It got harder. xD I'm working open to close 7 days a week for a bit. ^^; But yay OT pay..

Hi Leonie, nice to meet you. c: Jealous of your 3 cats, I only live with one right now and it's my brothers.

- I'mn hoping work went well. :D

- OT pay is nice, that's true. I just hope you didn't work yourself to the bone for it. XD :D
