For all of you Emma fans...

For all of you Emma fans... Miley has nothing on this girl's twerk.  😂😂😂  Pardon the messy room - y'all know about me.  I'm over there studying and Shadow's trying to play a game.  Emma's looking Shaun dead in the eyeballs as she does... whatever she's doing.  😛

So perhaps...

So perhaps life isn't as bad today as I felt like it was yesterday.  Can't believe I'm being so positive on a Monday.  😂

I'm still insanely busy, but over the weekend I was dealing with my metho-coma, PMS, a "To Do" list a mile long, and stress.  You put it all together and that's a concoction sure to make anyone feel like complete and utter crap.

I still feel like I need a nap and I may just take one before I study, (who knows), but the tiredness is not crippling today.  Also, my PMS has lightened up.  I know that everyone is affected differently by that, but my personal default setting is to cry.  I have been a cry-er since my first period - and over the dumbest shit.  The cat ignored me, someone had bad breath near me... you name it, I've probably cried at it.  😂😂😂  So, yesterday really did feel like the end of the world, but today feels better.  THANK GOODNESS.

Anyway, since my "To Do" list is a still a mile long I'm off to tackle some of that before I run out of energy.  I hope Monday has been nice to y'all, as well.  🙂❤

Confession Time:

Confession Time:

TL;DR Version:  I am feeling pretty overwhelmed.

Detailed Version:  School and my new meds are totally kicking my ass.

Have you ever felt like you have so much to do that you can't do anything?  Well, I'm struggling with that right now.  It's a bad spot to be in because I have SO MUCH TO DO.  Also, I am pretty stressed out.  I feel like I'm earning my gray hairs 10 at a time right now.

I'm scraping by on my bills even a little more than usual because I'm missing time at work due to being wiped out, super nauseated, or going to class.  Also money-related:  Shadow won't stop growing and I have two animals who seem to need to see a vet.  Nothing major is wrong, but they are things I would like to have checked out sooner rather than later.  I could suck it up and ask Shaun to help me, but I am debt-free for the moment and really want to stay that way.  I am doing a two-day festival next weekend with my Polish All the Things stuff (somehow, with all that energy I don't have) at Janney Furnace in Ohatchee so I'm hoping I make enough extra money to take care of things.  If not - I'll suck it up and ask for help.  I can't have anyone going without around here.

Other than that stress it feels like every little thing I do takes a huge amount of effort now.  Housework, studying, leaving my house, brushing my hair, making salad for the reptiles, scooping the litter boxes, etc.  Shaun and Shadow are both helping me, but now the freaking grass is growing so we'll have to start cutting it and damn - it's just another thing on my list of things to do.  And it's a thing that Shadow and I both hate doing.  I usually hate wet weather, but I am so thankful for it this weekend because it meant that I didn't have to bust out the lawn mower.

I am sure that everything would be easier to juggle if it wasn't for my medication.  I take it on Friday and then spend most of my weekend resting.  I just don't have the energy for anything else.  If I sit down and am not actively engaged in doing something (like studying), then I will fall asleep - even though I slept all night the night before.  I mean I've ALWAYS been great at sleeping, but this is extreme.  I slept all night last night and could use a nap right now.  I am desperately fighting the urge because me and the kid are gonna get up and do some cleaning together shortly.  I hope.

I don't know.  My whole life feels different right now and not in a great way.  I have cut my nails twice because I don't even have time to throw a coat of something plain on them, and I've turned down 2 geckos and 2 hedgehogs and the mention of possible rats - all of which I would love to take in if I could.  I just don't feel like myself.  I feel like a machine whose batteries are about dead.

Spring Break starts March 30 for me, but instead of relaxing I will be working at my job, and I have also designated it as the week that I will use to do some house repairs because I just don't see me getting any extra things done before then.

I don't think I can do housework right now.  I think I really have to take a nap.  🙁

Later, Friends.

This, 100%, all the way.

Agreed, Tort Baby. It's the weekend. I call bullshit.

If I wasn't so sure he'd poop in my bed I'd take him back to bed with me and snuggle. But I know his morning routine. 😂

Stupid cats and stupid Scooter woke me up today. Cats are misbehaving and Scooter's being all barky and crazy - he's probably trying to alert me to the cat situation because I have dumb crappy human ears and clearly can't hear that ruckus without his help. 😂

This is my sleeping day. If everyone doesn't CALM DOWN I'm gonna run away to Shaun's bedroom.

He's only the cutest blanket thief ever.

He's only the cutest blanket thief ever.

He doesn't care who's blanket he steals. He will burrow into mine, or run the dogs away from theirs. 

He's all snuggled into mine for the night, but I bought him his own from Wal-Mart a few minutes ago. We'll see how he likes it tomorrow. 😃

Did my hurr in the car on the way to the show.

Did my hurr in the car on the way to the show.  Gotta say - it turned out more awesome than usual.  I had NO CLUE that my buns were so jacked.  😂  I'm not usually one to worry about getting things symmetrical, but this is a whole 'nother level.  I actually kind of like it if you can imagine that.  😛
