No More "Good Luck" Living with a Black Cat

Black cats, black cats lucky, black cats gorgeous, cat condo, cat tower, cat play house, black cats beautiful, black cat pet, pet black cat, lucky black cat
2019 was the worst year for me.
 

EVER.

 

My professional life was in disarray. Gained a lot of weight. Lost friends. Finances in shambles. Mental state barely keeping up.

 

In short, it was not my lucky year.

 

And I didn’t have a black cat back then.




I Was Nowhere Before I Found Minimalism

“You free?”

It was in the dead of the night, and a friend messaged he needed company.

Naturally, I rushed to meet him.

While we talked, I couldn’t help but feel irritated; he kept on checking his phone and would momentarily ignore me.

I sat in silence, appalled, as I know this person has been usually sensitive. And attentive.



My Ugly Breakup With Coffee

The pinching on my left lower abdomen didn’t feel like the tolerable ones I used to flush with a glass of water to disappear. Half a gallon later, and the throbbing sensation did not only worsen, but I am going to die.

I usually have a cup of black coffee in the morning, and it would be my only caffeine serving for the day.

But, there was something about that day that steered away from routine; I had my usual cup of black coffee—an hour later, had a grande Starbucks Americano with extra shot of espresso.

Long story short, I had duodenal gastric acidity.
