I hope everyone is doing well and that the energies have been treating you kindly! I hope everyone enjoyed the recent solstice (summer for the northern hemisphere and winter for anyone in the southern). Hopefully, things have been going smoothly and calmly, allowing you to do what you need to do. Not sure if it's due to the solstice, recent full moon, or what, but the energies were rather chaotic here, and it was so blazingly hot. My sleep was definitely effected; it got to be a challenge to fall asleep and stay asleep--I kept waking up, which wasn't all that enjoyable. Friday morning also was a chaotic, hot mess. Got maybe 1-3 hours of sleep, the boys' dogs were constantly barking and trying to fight with each other, their black dog managed to escape the backyard amidst the heat, leaving me to frantically search the neighborhood for her in the excruciating heat, family was shouting and full of drama, and it just didn't ever end. It left me teetering on the breaking point and on the verge of intense sobbing. Thankfully, I made it through things okay, but it was so intense. Hopefully, things were much calmer for everyone else.

Sleep was okayish Sunday night into Monday morning; I woke up a few times, but it wasn't too bad. Dream recall was a complete blur, though. Sleep was more or less the same Monday night into Tuesday morning, except the smoke alarm kept going off for like 10-second intervals every like 15-45 minutes. No idea why, but maybe my sister had come over and was cooking/baking something? I know that the oven gets wonky at times. No idea what transpired in the dream realm, though. Woke up multiple times again Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, but it wasn't due to smoke alarms or anything of the like. No idea why. I remembered bits and pieces from my dream--something about shopping at Target with my family and seeing these two little girls (like toddler-aged) who were apparently named Sirius and Sussy. More happened, but details got really, really hazy, so it was a challenge to remember things once awake.
Woke up hours before I intended to get up Thursday morning and wasn't able to get back to sleep; needless to say, I was feeling rather groggy. That probably accounted for the haziness of dream recall--no idea what transpired. Sleep wasn't really any better Thursday and Friday nights. I kept waking up, and dream recall was so murky. Sleep wasn't much better Saturday night/this morning, as I kept waking up, but I did remember bits and pieces from my dreams--it seemed pretty jumbled, but that might be due to waking up multiple times. I was snuggling and sleeping with Tsuki in one part of my dream. At that point in the dream, my parents decided I needed to be awake and were trying to drag me out of bed. At another point, someone from Discord was inputting some info/data stuff and creating songs. I think he was basing it off of trends in popular music and creating it as a source of income; I don't think I heard most of it, but I think the bit that I did hear seemed pretty catchy. There was also something about some cat café that like doubled sort of as a zoo for endangered species. I remember there was a wolf there. I think he was curious and wanted to check it out. They also had the cats do some kind of performance show (like they've done with like animals at aquariums or the circus). That performance had some weird vibes to it
There was also something about this vampire throwing this big birthday bash for his daughter, who didn't ask for it and seemed mortified (they seemed sort of like Dracula and Mavis from Hotel Transylvania, but they weren't them). The vampire said something about never being valued and treated nicely as a child, so since he was blessed with his daughter, he was going to make sure she felt treasured. Feel like it probably would have gone over better if he had asked what she actually wanted, though. And there was something about animals escaping from the zoo, and an antelope not faring well involving a vehicle
The boys had a fairly chill week, enjoying their camps and the break from school. The younger brother was super excited about the Elden Ring release at the end of the week and was telling me all about it. I didn't exactly follow all of the specific details since I've never played, but he assured me that it was phenomenal; moreover, he said that it was the best game he's ever played (the update), saying that nobody's done it better ever before. Apparently, everything about it is just the best. I'll take his word for it, but there are also a number of people excited about it over on Discord, so I take it that he knows what he's talking about.
Tsuki was her normal goofy, adorable, wild self. It was a week full of cozy cat naps, snoozing in her cat nap, lounging on her window shelf, snuggling with her favorite chair, sprawling out on the table or on her favorite bag, and getting into all sorts of antics. She knows what she wants and will go about getting it done. Tsuki enjoyed a pretty chill week full of rest, relaxation, and play. Life's so much better with her in it.

As the summer heats up, please remember to take care of yourself. Whether that means taking more breaks, drinking more water, being mindful of the heat and keeping cool, and taking it easy if you need to. It's okay to have some days that are more challenging than others. It's okay if at times things feel like it can be too great to handle; take time for yourself, get help from those that care, and just do your best. You're human, and there's only so much any one person can do on their own. It's okay to not have it all together, to stumble and fall, to make mistakes, and to struggle. It doesn't belittle your worth or make you less. Take a breath, take your time, and take things one step at a time. You'll get there in time, so allow yourself to do things at your own pace. There's no rush, and you don't have to do it like anyone else. You can be authentically you and learn to do things your own way. There's no one else quite like you, and the world is better with you in it. Keep shinning your light and be gentle with yourself--you don't always have to shine incredibly bright. It's okay to conserve your energy when you need it. Take care, be kind to yourself, and have a wonderful rest of your week!
