A good thing: after years I re-attempted to introduce Lieutenant Novak to a harness, and now he purrs when i put it on him bc he knows he is going outside

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.
