I guess the down-side to being a tortoise is that you don't make much noise.

I'm sitting here studying with the door open because it's nice out and Emma just jumped up and ran to the gate - like something was going on.  So I put down my books and followed her because I listen to my animals.  She stopped at the gate and was huffing and prancing, like "There is something going on right here!"  I looked down and Tort Baby was just laying there - pathetically up-side down and not even trying to get right.  I don't know how long he'd been that way - whether he had been upside down for a while and was tired from trying to flip over, or if he was just waiting for someone to rescue him.  LOL

I will admit that whenever me and Shadow see him upside down we help the little dude out (even though the mean old Shaun-Daddy thinks it's good practice for him to flip himself [I know it is, but YOU try not to help him!]).  So it's quite possible he was just waiting for assistance.  Or, he could have been that way for a while.  I have no idea.  Either way he's fine.  I put him back in his house to warm up and rest and he's hanging out and basking now.

I guess that's the down-side to having an animal that doesn't really vocalize when they are in distress. 

Thank goodness for doggies who keep an eye on everything.  ❤

Oh goodness.

Oh goodness.  I came in the room to study and immediately had to let Tort Baby loose.  He was climbing his bars and ready to go.  Much less sleepy today than yesterday.  I put him down and he "ran" for the next room.  I'll have to get a video of him at full speed for y'all.  He's surprisingly fast.

I have a feeling I'm gonna have my hands full today.  I bet he'll be climbing things and getting stuck and moving things around.  That kid.  LOL

Nom is being a good boy.  He's eating his salad like he's supposed to.  None of this "Let me do everything!" business that Tort Baby does.  Maybe once he settles in I'll be having to chase him down to stop him from eating everything.  LOL

I have studied Algebra all day and well into the night.

I have studied Algebra all day and well into the night.  Now my brain is tired.  I have a test and then a final coming up, so I want to be SUPER SURE I get a good grade.  Hopefully it won't take me all day to finish that tomorrow because I need to get started on my research assignment for English.  I want to be on top of that so hopefully I can get a good grade in there, too.  I am really hoping to finish this semester with A's in all of my classes.  We'll see, but I am trying hard.  Need to get at least a 3.5 to be able to afford to transfer to JSU.  Everyone wish me luck!

Teyla is supervising the studying. I'm actually doing it and making progress. Just thought her face was too cute not to share. 🙂

Feeling slightly crappy today, but...

Feeling slightly crappy today, but I've got studying to do so I'm hitting the books.  Nom and Mona are out and about today.  Mona is enjoying a sunbeam on the floor and Nom is banging into stuff and undoubtedly trying to eat something inedible.  😂  Nom didn't ask to come out, but he may not know that is an option now so I put him in the floor since he was awake.  Tort Baby went right back to sleep after I got that video of him yawning.  He just wasn't ready to get up - little lazy bum.  Not really, but he does seem to be more of a night owl.  That's how he gets to sleep on the couch so often.  😂  He's a smart one.

Anyway.  I hope everyone has a lovely day.  It's so hard to be motivated to do schoolwork when the weather is so nice, but finals are coming up.  I've gotta get my brain ready.

Is it wrong...

Is it wrong that I woke him up from a nap just to catch his yawns on video?  😂😂😂

This is mostly me baby-talking Tort Baby into waking up.  Sorry you had to hear that.  He's my little sweet baby and I treat him as such.  I didn't even do that junk to Shadow, but if Tort Baby starts speaking words to me I'll change my baby-talking ways.  Until then I'm gonna babble over him like he's the most precious thing in the world because he is.  😃

So this is how he wakes up.  Slow and sweet.  And his little yawns - TOO PRESH.  He kills me.  He almost always yawns twice before checking out his plate - then he usually eats again, then basks, and after that is finally ready to conquer the world.  😃

I feel like complete and utter crap.

I feel like complete and utter crap.  🙁  My throat is REALLY hurting and my nose is sometimes stuffy, sometimes runny.  I finally made it to work at 2:30 today.  I got a lot done, though, so at least that's something.

I am hoping to study all weekend.  Finals are coming up!

I peeked in at Tort Baby and he was sleeping.  I saw "Aww, how precious."  He heard me and woke up.  He yawned adorably, twice.  Note to self:  Have camera on me at all times - no matter what.
