A Year With Curti!

[glacier_kitty]

A year ago today, Curti adopted me! He was SO tiny haha. He was pretty scared when I first held him, but after a few minutes he relaxed and started purring..I had been chosen! He can definitely be a handful, but his cuteness makes up for that haha. He LOVES jumping, a common trait of Siberian Forest Cats. He's curious and has to be in the middle of everything, begs me to pick him up when I comes home, is very smart (he learned his name in like 5 seconds haha), loves playing chase, etc. I'm so glad we found each other <3

And then there's this: "The Interior just endured a deep freeze that will be talked about in the years to come. From February 25 through March 11, the average temperature at Fairbanks International Airport plummeted to -20°F, officially marking the coldest such period recorded this late in the season. This frigid stretch didn't just edge out the past; it shattered the previous record of -17°F (1971)...the dramatic nose dive illustrates a level of cold rarely seen in over a century of data. Whether you waited in line for heating oil or were just trying to get the car to turn over, you just endured a historic stretch of weather that's one for the books!" Wow. It's not really going to warm up anytime soon either. People on the bus today were grouchy, so it's getting to a lot of people. I hope this doesn't mean the summer will be cold too..


Apsley Cherry-Garrard: He seemed like a very nice, sensitive person. Even in -70 degrees, in a storm that ripped his tent away, he was helpful and kind, a true friend to Birdie and Wilson. He was SO happy to go to Antarctica and in early pictures, before Scott died, you can just tell how much fun he was having. When he met Angela later in life, he gave her a rock, like penguins give to their mates..Antarctica never left him. When I visited his grave, he said "hi" through my phone, which was super cool! I try to have strength like he did when toughing out Antarctica. He was a beautiful writer too!

Robert Falcon Scott: He may have made bad decisions, but he loved his men and was loyal to them, and they loved him back. In their journal entries, his men usually talked positively about him. He loved animals too. Even at the end, he and Wilson and Birdie died as friends, and didn't regret their journey (when they were found, Scott's hand was found resting on Wilson's bag). I find him more interesting than Amundsen haha

Vicki: She has a SUPER deep well of love and caring. She's so comforting and accepting. She's been pretty busy lately, so I haven't seen her in a long time..hopefully when things settle down for her

Becky Chambers: One of my favorite authors..her writing is SO beautiful and unique. Her next book is coming out in October, yay!

Mom: Just an amazing, comforting person all around! She's supportive and accepting and I never would have gotten this far without her help <3
