I felt really bad yesterday.

I felt really bad yesterday. It's PMS time and I was drained and nauseated ALL DAY. I think the only thing I accomplished was taking a shower. Outside of that I napped, ate, and cuddled with Shaun and the animals.

When I got up this morning it was snowing, but it was pretty much gone by the afternoon. Shaun and I built a cat tower for the sunroom and put up some rope lights in there temporarily to see if we like them. We do so we'll get them straightened out and anchored in place soon. We also put together a huge umbrella to shade some outdoor chairs. We made the most of the day, I think.

As the sun was setting, Shaun and I went upstairs to watch it. The last photo is of the sunset. It's pretty, of course, but the clouds on top of the mountains kind of look like a lizard to me. 

While I felt less bad today than yesterday I'm still battling bouts of nausea and cramping. I usually have a standing date to video chat with a friend on Thursdays, but I've been so out of sorts lately that I didn't realize it was already Thursday until it was pretty much too late. I feel like a jerk. 🙁 But my friend is amazing and understanding so she's probably not offended.

Rose has officially been gone for a whole week as of today. We all still miss her. The kids were making pizza earlier and when the oven timer went off Kira said something about how Rose always whimpered and whined at the timer. It is a little loud, but Rose used to make a production of it. I guess she never knew when it was coming or what it meant so it stressed her out.

I'm sorry for the messages and comments that I haven't responded to. I feel emotionally like I'm in battery-saver mode so it's hard to try to be social right now. But I love and appreciate you all. ❤️
