I'm exhausted, but today was good.

I'm exhausted, but today was good.

Shaun and I went to Lowe's this morning and we took Cubba and that turned out to be too exciting for him with the amount of other dogs in there.  He wants to meet and play with them so bad.  But when we take him to the dog park for expressly that purpose all he does is pee on things, sniff some butts, and go back to the gate to leave.  I don't get it.

After that Shaun and I had an impromptu date and it was really nice.  We went to this bistro called Lily & Liam and the food was crazy good.  Shaun got a chicken panini and salad, I got a potato, egg, and cheese burrito with red chile and it came with a side of beans, and we got a thing called a "Dutch Baby" to share.  The waiter described it as a cross between a crepe and pancake and I could see that.  It came with some sort of cream and fruit and it was really good - not too sweet.  We also got a round little piece of cheesecake and slice of tiramisu to go to try at home.  All were really tasty.

When we got home from our date Shadow was downstairs playing a game and shortly after Kira came down.  We see Shadow all the time, but Kira stays upstairs with her kitty Leon a lot.  She and I played in a puzzle book together for a bit, while Shadow and Shaun did video game stuff.  Then we all decided to put on a movie and Kira FINALLY let me paint her nails.  She's been asking me to do it for weeks (even going as far as picking out colors), but she's so elusive that it doesn't happen.  😂  Anyway, she's got purple toenails now and most of her fingers are a nude-looking holographic chrome with flakies in it.  Her ring fingers are reflective glitter with blurple flakies in it and that kind of ties in to her toes.  It's cute.

I even painted my nails this evening.  Last night I re-did my clear gel overlay while Shaun painted his fingernails.  Then I did his toes and he's got a dark berry color with reflective glitter on.  It looks great.  It's not really fair that he's got such beautiful feet and I have these little stumps with tiny toenails, but at least he likes his nails painted.  Shadow's the only one here who doesn't let me do his nails, but I used to have to sneak on him when he was young to clip them and he hated the way it felt so I get it.  He's done with me grooming him and that's ok.

The weather today was SPECTACULAR.  When I woke up this morning Shaun had opened the windows to the sun room and it felt really nice inside the house.  After we got home from our date it had warmed up a bit so we opened a couple more windows and the breeze was AH-mazing.  All we needed was the ceiling fan to stir it around and it was wonderful.  There are lots of birds out now, too, so it was nice to hear them loud and clear.  The house feels so fresh and cool and I love it.

Anyway.  Just kind of wanted to be able to look back and remember this really nice impromptu date and family hangout sesh one day.  I hope you all had a good one.  We did, but it was a full day and I'm headed to bed now.  Goodnight, friends.  ❤
