Irl!

I have never been more relieved to arrive home than I am right now. The weight and stress of SummerSlam, the crowds reaction, my performance, and how everything was gonna go is now lifted off my chest and shoulders!! And I can finally relax, for a bit.

I have a surprise guest appearance at NXT on Tuesday to say my final farewell to my old home, and then I have to travel to South Carolina for my very first Friday Night Smackdown appearance... sleep will be zero to none this week, I can already tell.

I let out a sigh of relief as I punch in the code and enter my house, some delicious immediately hitting my nose.

"Hello!!" I call out and I'm met with a bark before I'm bombarded with licks and fur from my beautiful German Shepard. "Hey, Maverick, how's my favorite boy." I gush, letting go of my suitcase and duffle bag I squat down to give him my full attention for pets and he flops down to his side, eating it up of course.

"In here!" Uncle Jack hollers from the kitchen. "Making one of your favs!"

My face actually hurts from smiling so big as I give Maverick one last big pat on the belly before discarding my backpack and heading for the kitchen. He told me he was making me a surprise for getting home, and he always loves to cook.

I enter the kitchen to find Jack cooking away, whistling as he switches from stove to stove.

"Hey, kiddo." He looks over his shoulder. "Breakfast for dinner sound good to you."

Um, HELL YEAH!

I place my hands on my hips. "Is that even a question?" I muse.

He chuckles, flipping what looks to be pancakes, yummmm.

"Hi, Coraline." I reach over to the counter to pet my second furry child as she stretches her head out towards my hand.

I was initially a bit nervous to get a cat after already owning a dog, as they're normally seen as not getting along, but a year or so after this house was built I started seeing a black kitten roaming around. I wasn't sure if the poor thing was born and left behind or dumped near by but Uncle Jack started putting out food, milk, and water and before you know it I finally let her in the house just to try it.

Once she made herself right at home we took her to the vet, and Maverick was just excited to have a new friend, being a puppy himself, so he didn't mind at all. And I settled on the name Coraline after the movie since she was a black cat and the black cat in the movie didn't really have a name, and she's a girl.
