This one's being funny tonight.

This one's being funny tonight. He's been like that for probably 15 minutes, at least. And he still hasn't moved. Weirdy. I guess he's comfortable!

This is the view literally a foot and a half away from my pillow.

This is the view literally a foot and a half away from my pillow. I have a guardian angel! He's gonna keep the bugs and bad dreams away. 🙂

You know you're doing it, too.

Is that spot on or what?  LOL

Oh my dog. 🙁

Oh my dog.  🙁

I was just tucking everyone in for the night when Faith (my doofy dog) decided to jump up on top of her crate as I was bending over to put her in it.  Her skull was stopped by my jaw and neither of us enjoyed it.  My teeth were knocked together, hard.  I'm surprised (and so thankful) that none of them broke.

Wonder if I'll have a bruise...  I do recall her blacking my eye before.  😂

I'm going back to bed.  I'm so done with this day.

Today (Wednesday) has been weird.

Today (Wednesday) has been weird.  Probably because I floated through in a fog of exhaustion.

Since I was sad yesterday and had things to do after work I didn't get as much sleep as I should have.  Still got up at 6 this morning like a responsible adult, though.  Go me.

Went to class and thankfully took pretty great notes, but I wasn't as involved in the discussion part.  I am pretty sure I looked like I just hated the world, but I didn't.  I just couldn't manage to make my face do anything more pleasant.

I had my phone on silent mode for class and missed several messages from Shadow and the school saying that I needed to pick him up.  Apparently Shadow injured his eye with safety goggles.  Let the irony of that sink in for a moment.  😂😂😂

It was pretty pointless for me to get such messages, anyway, as the brakes on my car weren't working too well yesterday (Tuesday) so I didn't drive myself to school and could not leave.  Thankfully, they called Shaun next and he left work and picked the kid up.  Put some antibiotic eye ointment on his eye and bought him a patch to keep the light out and make him look like a pirate.  We are pretty sure that he will survive this eye scratch as much as I know it hurts.

A bit later Shaun picked me up from class (he is really the best ❤) and we had lunch then went to work.  At lunch I could barely make sentences because I was so tired.  At work I kept nodding at my desk, so I finally just clocked out and napped with my head down on the break table.  Felt mostly ok after that and some coffee, but when I got home from work (around 7) I went straight to bed.  I woke up to eat and do night chores and I'm about to turn back in.

I don't know if it's the new schedule, or PMS, or stress, or what, but I am so sore and tired.  I feel like I need to sleep for some DAYS.  I really need to make extra money, but I turned down doing the Farmer's Market in Anniston this weekend because 1) I am exhausted and 2) My car will be in the shop that day.  I think I'll be satisfied to just survive the regular work week at this point.  TWO. MORE. DAYS.  Wish me luck!

In the last month...

In the last month, TWICE, I have ended up in conversations on Facebook with people and it turns out we have much in common (animal stuff in one instance, and animal stuff + psoriasis in the other) so we became friends, but shortly after that with not a cross word spoken I am blocked.  Not un-friended, but straight up BLOCKED.  Like, the same day they friend me.

I REALLY hate to jump to conclusions, but the only thing I can figure is that in both cases these women have seen my profile's Religious Views set to Agnostic Atheist and let that scare them off.  That makes me really sad.  Like, to the point of tears.  If I were a better person I'd post their names so y'all could look them up and congratulate them for doing such a good job:  They made the scum of the Earth cry.  Maybe that would make them feel accomplished.

I am well aware that I went through that awful obnoxious "TELL EVERYONE THEY'RE WRONG" phase a few years ago when I came out of the religion closet (I think that happens when you keep things pent up - you just need to release it), but at this point it's not something that I talk about often at all.  I have a problem when people don't want to separate church from state and when laws are passed based on religious beliefs because I don't share them.  Other than that - I'm good.

At this point in my life I am happy (though exhausted) and comfortable with myself and who I am.  And for the record (if you haven't figured it out) I'M A GOOD PERSON.  More than that - I'm a good person WITHOUT THE THREAT OF HELL keeping me in line.  I love all of my friends, religious or not.  We don't all have to be the same.  As long as you're a good person, too, that is what's important to me.  I wish everyone could just keep it that simple.

For those of you who haven't dumped me for not being exactly the same as you, this ❤'s for you.  ❤

I'm awake. 😳

I'm awake.  😳

Weirder than that is that I was half-awake before my alarm went off.  😳

WHO AM I???

Well for anyone who was wondering - my Mother's Day was fine.  I'm not big into holidays and all that, but my guys did take me to Waffle House last night - which is just what I wanted.  😁  There was a really goofy crew working in Jacksonville last night and they were fun to listen to.  😃

I also gave myself the gift of starting one of my house repair projects that has been stressing me out for months.  It was not fun work to do, but I knew that putting in some time and effort would make me feel much better on the stress front, and it did.  Other than that I was totally lazy yesterday.

Also, Happy Gotcha Day to my sexy, sweet serpent, Bruce.  He came to me on Mother's Day last year and he's taught me so much.  I am so glad that I opened my heart and home to him.  ❤
