I feel like I've been running around all day.  Time to sit down and chill out with my Tuggle Snort.  😃

My hands have been pretty sore lately...

My hands have been pretty sore lately even though I'm on pills. Today, my forearms hurt for some reason. My knees have also started hurting, despite the pills. I called the doctor today and left a message. I've asked to see a rheumatologist. I hope they call me back soon.

So it's becoming a thing...

So it's becoming a thing where I get off work and have to find a tortoise somewhere in our family room.  LOL  He has apparently got Shadow wrapped around his, um, shell, because he demands to be let out as soon as Shadow gets in the room.  Then he stomps around the room until he gets tired and falls asleep somewhere random and hidden.  It is cracking me up.  It's also totally fine with me, because sleepy tort = snuggle tort.  😃

We still need to name him.

Shaun suggested Radagast.  Shadow likes Hamburger.  I suggested Bowser, but Shadow says that's too many Mario references in the house.  I think he is mistaken.  LOL  In any case we haven't settled on anything yet.  Oh well.

Little man woke up...

Little man woke up, stretched his neck out all long, AND THEN YAWNED. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen. So bummed I didn't have my camera ready.

My tortoise is more longular and Emily's is more circular.

My tortoise is more longular and Emily's is more circular. I'm excellent at describing things.

Tryna' be like "Woo, holidays!" over here, so...

Tryna' be like "Woo, holidays!" over here, so this is what I did to my nails.

Don't get me wrong...

Don't get me wrong - I am thankful for all that I have even though life is not perfect.  I've got some amazing friends and family, a roof over my head, and I'm able to work.  But I'm not gonna pretend this isn't a bad day for someone else.  Everyone should keep in mind that others are mourning what we are celebrating.  We wouldn't have what we have in this country (for better or worse) if our ancestors hadn't done a terrible thing to someone else.
