I did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...

I did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING productive yesterday.  I guess I'm gonna make up for it today.  😕

I am *sob sob, sniff sniff* gonna move my roachies out of my bedroom.  I ❤❤❤ having them in here with me, but I have no space for Bruce.  While I love to listen to them scuttling around at night when I feed them I guess it's for the best.  If I don't clean my colony every week they get smelly.  I have so many that some are dying of old age and my room is not large or well-ventilated so that is the downside to having them in here.  But I do love listening to them as I fall asleep.  And I don't think it would be a bad idea to have them closer to the lizards.

Sugar has a vet appointment today at 4:45.  So I gotta do that.  I DESPERATELY need to mow my lawn, but when it was raining the other day I went out to open my little metal building so Sug would have somewhere dry to go and I slipped and fell down.  My left knee is bruised all black, and both of my arms are KILLING ME... I guess from catching myself.  So mowing the lawn is kind of the last thing I want to do.

Yeah, yeah - I get sick of hearing "Make Shadow do it.  He's old enough."  He does OUTSIDE the fence.  That is his part.  I do INSIDE because there are dog holes, and dog turds, and it's wet and mucky, and his feet grow so fast that he doesn't have any "yard work" shoes leftover - so that's just how it is.  Once I get my yard landscaped I will probably let him do all of the grass, but right now I wouldn't feel very good about that.

Anyway.  Laurel made me eat breakfast so I'm all full and sluggish.  I don't want to do anything.  She also told me I could pick dandelion flowers for my beardies so I did it and OMG - she was right - THEY LOVED IT.  Mona licked the flower a few times before chomping down, but Teyla didn't waste any time.  I wish I had more dandelion flowers in my yard.  I think I picked all of them after I saw how excited the girls were.  😍  Are those meant as a treat or is it ok to feed them a lot of those?  Someone tell me or I'll Google it later.

Also, JEWELRY STUFF:  I have nothing yet.  🙁  I ordered parts last week, but a lot of the pieces I use are on backorder (supplier sold out because of Mother's Day, she said) so it might be a couple of weeks yet before they come in.  I am SUPER BUMMED about that because I have so many ideas in my brain and a couple of custom orders that I hate making people wait for.  😕 

Also, I have tried two different acrylic spray sealers for the plastic rings and even though they should be dry now (I sprayed them days ago and put them in a room with a dehumidifier) I can still dent the clear with my fingernail.  If I can dent it I imagine that they would scratch and scuff and I'm not down with that.  I am considering trying polyurethane spray, but I hate to keep buying sprays that I can't use.  The polyurethane spray I found at Hobby Lobby doesn't say specifically that it's ok for plastics, either, so that makes me a little nervous.  I mean, obviously, I'm not using it on all of the ones I have made - just some of the less fabulous pieces as a test.  I just wish I had a better idea of what to do.  Recommendations are welcome.

Well, I'm off to hopefully accomplish some stuff.  I only have a little while to do things before I have to pack up Sugar and head out.  Later, peeps.  🙂
