Dear Human 💕,

You’re back! You didn’t die! Meow!

And you look different.

The last few months had been exhausting. You didn’t think you could do it. That was a lot of UP seven days in a row and you hadn’t been on a long hike in…oh boiiiii.  It felt impossible.

But you showed up anyway.

And I know you were about to quit after the first day. Exhausted, in pain, stomach issues,  no appetite, and no sleep. Not a great start. So, you were pretty anxious about that second hike.

Luckily, the other humans helped you to get yourself together in the morning. You decided to take some meds and give it another day.

If you needed to be rescued off the mountain? That’s what you got that insurance for, right?

So, up you went.  

Up. Breathe. Watch your footing. Take a break. Snack. Drink more water. Enjoy the view. Down. Find a pee spot.

That was it. All day. You couldn’t worry about anything else.

Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

You figured out your own pace.

And you made it through the week!

And you had fun, right?

You’d been stuck. When something stops working, the humans always ask: have you tried turning it off and on again?

Turns out that works on humans too.

Those 7 days were your reboot. Now you have the energy to jump back into life.

Welcome back to the flat part of the world. I like you here.

Yours,
Cat🐾

P.S. The trick is to keep breathing.

P.P.S. I missed our morning cuddles and those chin scratches. The other human hasn’t quite figured those out yet.
