[Lie] Okay so, cowboycrustation says I have to post or he's gonna pinch me 🙀

I currently seem to be somewhat less doomed than previously seemed likely. Turns out a kind critter contacted another who called for helps and yet another popped up like "Hay, we have a room just for critters like that one!" So now I'm here in a lil room of a four-critter family's place, in neat lil area @.@ It's gonna be awkweird but I've got somewhere to be other than frozen Minnesota street doom and there are critters trying to help me so I've got at least some kinda chance of getting by up here. Am sleepy now but the looming threat of crabby pinchings and/or pinchy crabbings compels me to post something so here it is :P 😅

Lots of new experiences, too. Hanging out playing board games on the floor of my hotel room with my new friends, who didn't even know each other... that was neat 😅 Neat day. Better than the previous one. I think. I don't really know what happened that day. Anyway, some things are happenifying. Also it's kinda cold here 😅

Oh, the city looks super different than my initial impression. I suppose part of that is riding in a car versus riding a bus or train, but it looked much more familiar on the way here. Also being daytime probably helped a lot. My initial impression was like, dark and enclosed and often a lil bit lost, riding light rail with a bunch of smokers, trying to navigate Mall of America with eighty bazillion hunams in it @.@ D: 🙀 ... That sort of thing. Muchly different! Anyway, I'ma nap or something now. @.@ 😴

Am okayish. Have a thing to go to this morning. Managed a bit of a trip (food and shopping up some socks and better walking shoes) yesterday, though it ended up kinda stressy for normaller reasons than the usual reasons that things stress me >.<; Lot of walking (well, for me. Wearing flats. :-\ ), hunams everywhere, missed a bus, that kind of thing. Got a little more accustomed to the bus system here, at least. Discovered that some drivers will try to launch me to the back the instant I step onto the bus 😅 😒

It's all baby steps right now, really :-\ I'm the sort of janky critter wot needs meds just to make it out the door so the difficulty of everything gets multiplied a few times before I even start :-\ Probably wouldn't have made it to the bus stop without them. For reference, there's a bus stop right out front of this place I'm currently at. I could fall down the little sloped area over there 👉 and just about roll onto a bus. 😮‍💨 Oh well, I guess. Hopefully some things work out.

*happy mews and hugs *

I'm really glad to hear you're making progress, the normal stress sounds so much more managable than at your old place!

Baby steps are still steps, I'm proud of you for getting out and doing stuff even if you need meds for it 😸

Managed to get at least one of my prescriptions sent up here :3 Rest should follow soonish. Also got onto TextNow in case I lose phone service. 🐭 squeaky skittery lil steps

Thanks for being all sweet an' stuff :3 squeaky mews and hugglifications Kinda weird to hear of critters being proud of me for normal stuff, even though it's actually really hard for me 😅 Is a weird life.

Yeah, well, I'm a weird critter myself and I think there's no greater victory than living authentically despite the haters. 😸
