I had a much-needed day of relaxing.  😃

I spent a lot of the day on my ass watching Netflix.  Cheer's, of course.  While I was doing that I let Chupa and Emma play until I finally had to crate Chupa because she's just into ALL THE THINGS.  The last straw was when she jumped on my nail table, knocked down my nail repair glue without me noticing, and then chewed it until she came to me making a face that clearly said "I have something bad in my mouth".  She had punctured it, but just barely.  I've watched her all day and she's fine, but my nail glue is ruined.  I guess it's lucky for me that I have nubs right now.

After that me and Shaun went to Ft. McClellan to ride bikes.  We went more places than usual.  The weather was nice and my bike seat is positioned ALMOST perfectly.  I rode mostly in comfort.  😂

On Shaun's suggestion we went to the pet cemetery there.  I thought it was probably a bad idea because it would make me sad and I was right.  But it also made me happy to see such beautiful memorials to pets.  I figured it was just going to be a small, run-down kind of deal, but it was really nice with actual grave stones and looked like someone goes and tends it once in a while.  There is a memorial there dated as recently as this past November, (though most of the rest of them are much older), so I guess it's still active.

On the way home we saw some deer.  Like, a whole fucking flock of them.  It was pretty cool although probably sad.  Some fuckers think it's a great idea to mow down the trees at McClellan so the deer probably had nowhere else to be.  😕

Anyway, I hope that tomorrow is as nice.  I am planning to see my dad, and Shaun said he'd be up for walking Emma and Teyla tomorrow, so yay for that.  🙂

A shot of the Pet Cemetary on McClellan. It bends off to the right wayyy at the back. There is a stream off to the left that is nice. Shaun said he'd like to come back and move the rest of that limb. He got what he could today.

The flock of deer. This is pretty close to the Lowe's in Anniston. This is, sadly, what's left of the trees.

Emma just gave me her bone.

Emma just gave me her bone. I was the only one in the room without one.

She is so special. ❤

I didn't really sleep last night.

I didn't really sleep last night.  I am distraught.  Apparently, I was distracted, also.  I went to bed with a door not only unlocked, but OPEN.  Thank goodness Emma is the best dog ever because she could have left and not looked back.  😕

I left Lowrider in a crate all night when she was only in there to keep her out of my way momentarily.  She was SO THIRSTY when I let her out this morning.  Made me feel even more like shit.  🙁

Now that I'm home I've had a good cry and I feel like passing out.

That's dumb.  Shadow's gone and I could be spending quality time with my Shaun.  Or doing my nails.  Or something.

I went to Sally's today on my lunch break.  And guess what?  I didn't even care.  I didn't buy a single polish.

There are some things wrong and they are really getting to me.  I don't get why people don't care and show no interest in doing better.  I'm sorry, y'all, but that is all I can say about it right now.  All in due time, I suppose.

Send me good vibes and will me the strength to handle a situation that is SO MUCH BIGGER THAN ME.  I would appreciate it.  ❤

I thought it would be a good idea...

I thought it would be a good idea for Chupa to play with another doggie so I introduced her to Emma. They got along just fine. Here is a photo of them taking a break. 😛

I am heading to bed shortly. Wish me luck. 😟

I had nightmares last night.  Or one long one, really.  I don't usually remember dreams and for that - I am thankful.  Last night's was weird.  I'll tell you.

SO... I had this big group of girlfriends (which is SO not IRL me).  We were going to this vacation house which was like, a lake house.  For whatever reason we had an activity planned.  That activity was shooting each other with harpoons.

So we get there and start hunting each other and the first girl gets shot, and then about half of us decide that is a bad idea.  But the other half wants to keep going.  And we, (for whatever reason), can't just leave (unless you get harpooned.  That means you HAVE to leave.)  So we're just there - hunting and fighting and hiding, trying to harpoon our friends, but not get harpooned.

Before I go any further let me just say that we weren't FATALLY harpooning each other.  We were going for like, arms and legs.  So there were rules.

So that was scary as hell.  Even though these girls were my friends I didn't know who I could trust.  I think I hid under the porch a lot.

Anyway, on the inside of the house we had dead Michael Jackson in a box.  But not like, embalmed MJ.  It was like, slimy, rotting-in-a-glass-box MJ.  I think we were going to try to Frankenstein him or something, but I am not certain.  I woke up before I got there.

Here's hoping that I DON'T finish that dream.  😳

The rest of the house is back to normal.

The rest of the house is back to normal.  My room is ALMOST finished.  I just have a couple of boxes left of things to put away.  THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT.  I HAVE FOUND MY SANITY.

Lizard news:

I saved a floor scrap and we put that down in Mona's house today.  She had flooring down, but it was not as great as my floor.  I guess it was cheaper stuff because it stained easily and was thinner and not as pretty.  So now me and Mona having matching floors.  😃  Teyla's matches Shadow's room because we did his floor last year and had her first.  And yes - I'm well aware that I am a dork.  😂  BUT there are practical reasons for this, as well, so whatever.  😛

Koopa is all moved into his new tank.  I thought he'd freak out because it's glass, but he's not climbing the walls.  Yet, anyway.  I'll see how he's doing in a couple of days.  I like being able to see him without opening a box and looking in.  I hope he likes being able to see out.

Everything I read said that horned lizards stress easily and not to handle them, but I've been holding him more lately with the move and all of that and he seems just fine.  I've also been transferring him to a different tank to eat roaches and worms because they hide in the sand and then he can't find them to eat them.  And when I pick him up he doesn't run.  Half the time he tries to go up my arm.  That doesn't feel to me like I'm stressing him out.  He's still eating and using the bathroom.  He's still much thinner than I'd like, but I'm starting to think that after all of this time he might have a parasite or something.  I ordered him some meds, but I want to make sure he's settled before I go and give him anything. JUST IN CASE.

Anyway, that's about all I have to say.  I think I'm gonna head to the couch and do my nails.  Nothing fancy, but at least really paint them.  It's been about 2 weeks.  Now that most of my handy-work is coming to an end it might do them some good.  🙂
