    What is good about having a pet?

    Well, I’m not going to talk about service pets because while they are a pet they do a job as well as being our pets. I’m not saying that having a service pet doesn’t have any good things, I’m just saying that service pets are more widely known for the benefits that they provide.

    I’m going to start with the benefit I had from growing up with dogs. The good benefits I’ve gotten from having dogs is that you can run around the backyard with them. Also having a dog is a wonderful benefit because they can get you out of your home for a little while. Whether that’s out on a walk or going out in the backyard with them. They are also very cuddly. Well that’s what I’ve experienced when growing up with dogs. Dogs are also loyal and sometimes can be protective of their humans. I’ve always believed that no dog is naturally bad and aggressive. It’s how they are treated by humans. Truthfully I believe this for cats as well.

    While cats can be aggressive for what seems like no reason they do have really good benefits. One is cats tend to be more in tuned with our emotions. Cat are more independent creatures but they also depend on us for like their food and to clean out their litter boxes. (God, I hated cleaning out their litter boxes. They can stink depending on what you feed your cats). Cat can be great emotional support animals but I’m not going to get into that. Cat can teach you how to alone time and be okay with alone time.

    I want to hear from you guys about your experiences with pets. What’s your favorite type of pet? What benefits did you get from having that type of pet? If you’ve never had a pet before tell me what type of pet you would love to have? What benefits do you think you’d get from having them as a pet?

    Remember this mouse loves cheese and she thinks you’re more important than cheese to her.

    Prompt: What Podcasts are you listening to?

    I listen to a lot of things. I mainly listen to podcasts about the wiccan practice. When I’m not listening to Witch Wednesdays Podcast on Apple Podcasts (which I just started a week ago), I’m listening to Dusty Thunder either on TikTok or on Youtube. Truthfully if I’m not listening to either of those I’m listening to music or an audiobook. I always have something playing in the background. I grew up in a house where on the weekends for about a year and half we had at least 14 other people in the house. So, quiet isn’t something I’m really good at. The statement most of my friends say “She is only quiet when she doesn’t know you. If she gets to know you, she will never shut up.” They say laughingly, but it’s the truth. I am not good around new people. Well, I’m also not to good in big groups of people.

    I’m working on becoming a better me. I’ve felt drawn to the wiccan practices since I was in high school. Something about it called to me. Though I’m in the closet because most of my family wouldn’t understand that I am a wiccan. They are hard core Christians. Which is fine by me. Everyone can believe in what they want as long as they aren’t trying to force other’s into their faith. I grew up Christian and for some reason, not the devil, it just never resonated completely with me. I felt like something was missing. Now, most wiccan worships a god and a goddess. While I do worship a god (the Christian god), I do also worship a goddess. Though my goddess is mother nature. I haven’t met a lot of wiccans that worship mother nature as their goddess alone. Wiccan is a nature based practice. I guess that I am really a Wiccaned Christian. I’ve heard a few other people use that term. I don’t think I spelled it right but hey, I’m trying. My friends know that I am wiccan but sadly my family doesn’t know. I want them to know because I am tried of hiding true self from them but I know I would lose them if they where to find out. I’m not just hiding that I don’t practice Christianity alone, (I also practice wicca) and that I am Bisexual as well. Which they don’t understand it and based on comments they’ve made to me, I know that if I were to come completely out of the closet I wouldn’t be accepted by them. So, I listen to podcasts about wicca and witchcraft. Sorry this kind of took a darker or sadder tone. I just needed to write what was in my heart and weighing it down. I feel slightly better after writing this. I hope that I can come out of this closet that I have found myself in, soon. At least my friends and my boyfriend accept me for me. They also push me (in a good way) to follow my heart. Hopefully one day I will feel safe with my family enough to tell them the complete truth, but for now, I’m happy to have them in my life.

    With love,

    Mouse.

    Also remember you are more important than cheese to this mouse.

    What are your favorite websites?

    Prompt: What are your favorite websites?

    Truthfully, there isn’t a website per-say that is my favorite. Well, technically it is a website but I use the app more than the website. The page that is my favorite is Everand.com. I do pay for it but I’ve been paying for it since 2015. It a reading app/website. I read more than 175 books a year. So, for me the $12.89 with tax is worth the price. I read/listen to way to much during the year.

    Reading is my escape from the reality, when life gets really hard for me. Life isn’t easy for everyone, truthfully I don’t know anyone that has had an easy life. I wish I that I had an easy life, but if I did then I wouldn’t be able to say that books are part of the things that saved me from the depression, that is still plaguing me. I didn’t choose to have depression but it was something that was given to me by life. That’s why I say life isn’t easy.

    I would talk more about the pricing plans but sadly, they are in the process of changing everything. While it would be easy for me to go on and on about Everand, seeing as, I’ve been using their services since they were Scribd. Hell, when I think about it, I started using Scribd back when it was $8.99 a month and no sale tax.

    I did a little digging and found what their new pricing looks like.

    As I started looking through my account setting, I noticed that they did away with the referral program. Which is quiet sad. They’ve been doing a lot of changes with in the past few years. It’s sad to see big changes that take away the ability to share this with other by word of mouth. I do understand that nothing ever stays the same. Everything changes or disappears. Hopefully this blog post has giving you some information about a service that to my knowledge isn’t widely known about yet.

    Have a good day. Remember your more important that cheese to this mouse.
