My little bulldozer. 😂

My little bulldozer. 😂  Make sure your volume is up!  You always know when you have a tortoise in the house.  😛

Tort Baby is relentless when he wants to get somewhere. 

At the end - that is not him giving up. That is him tricking the door into thinking he gave up so he could catch it off guard. 😂😂😂 He was back at it about 30 seconds later.

Pardon my floor. I swept it last night. I have to sweep often with as many feet and paws as I have trekking through this house. But I wouldn't trade any of them for the whole wide world! ❤

As much as I ABSOLUTELY HATE...

As much as I ABSOLUTELY HATE day trips to Wal-Mart (we usually go at like 2 am after work on Friday) - I'm heading out.  I need salad for the kids and toilet paper.  Nom has been giving me the stink-eye and my sinuses are still trying to clear out from a week of being sick so it just has to happen.

Gonna run by Pickette's and get some dog food while I'm out.  Maybe we'll stop by Dad's for lunch before heading home.  Then I'm going to get everyone fed and happy and then jump in with both feet on my research paper.  IF I get done with that today I'm going to spend some time on Algebra because my final is coming up on the 30th.  I have a review sheet to work on so that way I'll know where I'm ok and where I'm shaky.

I slept late today because I took my methotrexate.  I might have slept even later than noon:30 had the postman not scared me awake by banging on my door.  Today is my dad's birthday, but I'm going to visit him tomorrow because we usually do Sunday visits and Shadow is with a friend and I can pick him up on the way over there.

So that's my super exciting weekend plan.  It's supposed to be raining and yucky anyway so that's just fine.  My grass needs cutting, but I can't do that while it's wet so maybe I can get that done one day after work.  I also seriously need to wash Nappy.  Her hair is still short so it shouldn't be hard, but she asks me for a bath every time I go near her.  I will put her on my list of things to do this weekend.  I don't want to make her wait.  I'm sure she wants a bath because she feels icky and that's just not ok.  Looks like I have plenty to get done!

Well, I hope you have a lovely weekend - whatever you're doing.  I know mine probably sounds awful, but I'm actually ok with it.  Pretty happy with life right now even if it does get stressy at times.  🙂❤

The way he shakes this carrot cracks me up!

The way he shakes this carrot cracks me up!  This guy is hilarious when he eats.

FYI, he eats twice a day because he's a hungry hippo.  He'd already had a salad this morning, but was - of course - hungry again when I got home.  We thought we'd give him a little carrot snack before salad, but it was too fat to eat easily.  So we grated it up and put it on his salad.  He was victorious after all!  😃

I know this is already old news by internet standards, but...

I know this is already old news by internet standards, but these comments are the best.  She really does need to quit.  He did not look like he wanted or enjoyed that kiss.

Best Comment (for being funny AND true):

"Danielle: Right. I’m mad at the articles that are like “Drake and Madonna totes made out!” No. Drake was sexually assaulted onstage by a repeat offender & NAH SANGLE ONEUH YALL came to his aid! #youoksis"

Edited to Add:  He has apparently spoken out and said he didn't like the taste of her lipstick.  Ok, dude.  As long as you're fine.

Ugh. I feel a migraine coming on. 🙁

Ugh.  I feel a migraine coming on.  🙁

I don't know if it's any one thing that is setting me off, or if it's a combination of seeing that dog, stress from finals coming up, having a bad night with the power / computer last night, me coughing and blowing my brains out of my nose every few minutes, or whatever, but I feel absolutely awful.  I have taken some medicine and I'm hoping it helps.  I can't think of anything worse than having a migraine - and I have wayyy too much to do to be feeling this way.

Also, I only made a 90 on my Algebra test today.  There were 17 questions and I missed 2.  It's not bad, but I wanted to do better.

Is it seriously only Tuesday?  🙁

I feel traumatized.

I feel traumatized. I think I just saw half a dog. 🙁

Local people:  If you are on Noble Street down where that light is on Greenbrier behind the Kangaroo... That's where it is - on the railroad gravel. Avoid it or check it out - whatever you need to do. I was on my way to work and couldn't stop, but he can't be alive. I can't tell if he's actually in half or partially buried, but it didn't look gorey just driving by.

Shaun left Dad's BBQ on Noble where we met for lunch a few minutes after me. I had to call him and ask him to look as he went by to make sure I saw what I saw. Unfortunately, I am not being crazy this time. 🙁

If anyone is missing a bull dog or boxer (or some other stocky, short-haired breed), make sure it wasn't yours. He was brown and white.

My computer survived.

My computer survived.  Most of the work I did on my paper survived.  I only wish I hadn't been forced to go to sleep when I was making so much progress, but I'm back on it now.  Woo!
