I was pretty much crashed out...

I was pretty much crashed out... until I scared myself awake.

I'd been on the couch for hours watching TV.  I watched a movie with Shaun and Shadow, and then when Shaun left me and the kid watched the new episode of Wayward Pines.  I don't usually do creepy shows, but I can deal with it.

After that went off I decided it was time for bed so I stood up and started walking towards my room.  As I was walking I felt something go down my leg.  Not wet - I didn't pee myself or suddenly start my period.  It was dry and warm and bulky.  😳

NEEDLESS TO SAY - I freaked the shit out.

I started kicking my leg to shake whatever it was out of my pant leg while screaming because clearly that helps in these situations.  😂😂😂  I dropped everything I was carrying because waving your arms around when there is something unknown in your pants also helps, just FYI.  Shadow backed up and the dogs were looking like "What the hell?!"  I was just about to take off my pants when it finally came out.

What was it, you ask?  Oh, it's good.  I feel like a total dumbass over this one.  😂😂😂  It was a tissue that I'd wadded up and stuck in my waistband because my sweats don't have pockets.  Seriously.  All THAT over a tissue that fell down my pant leg.  😂😂😂

On the bright side me and Shadow had a good laugh, which I think I desperately needed.  I laughed until I couldn't breathe and I'm still giggling about it when it crosses my mind.  Now I'm about to get in my bed and hope that I can simmer back down enough to fall asleep.  It's been an exhausting week so hopefully it won't take long.  Goodnight, Internet!  Or rather, good morning! 😛

Please, no one tag me.

Please, no one tag me in horrible things right now - especially if it is animal-related.  I am not ok right now.  I'm stressed, I'm tired, I'm in pain, and it's all I can do to not let myself slip into a very dark place.

I know that you all mean well, but even if it's for the sake of signing a petition I just can't look at bad / sad stuff.  I can't, and I'm sorry.  Feel free to tag me in all the happy shit you want to, though.  But no sob stories.  They make you too sad first and I can't deal.

Maybe I'll try to see FB again this weekend, but I have an ass-ton of homework to do - not to mention house repairs and the fact that I should do a show because I need money.  I miss all of my friend people.

I read my literature.

Ok.  I read my literature.  I don't think I'll be able to do any Algebra tonight.  My brain is tired.  My body is tired.  No good will come from forcing it.  Next class is Wednesday morning so I'll do it tomorrow sometime.

Booka is sleeping.  Has been for a while.  I know that today was hard on him, but I also know that he usually wakes up to scratch.  Maybe he's starting to feel a bit better already.  I hope so!

Got the housework done just in time to take the kids to the vet.

Got the housework done just in time to take the kids to the vet.  I'm about to take a shower, have some cereal, then jump into my homework until my brain shuts down.  😳

Nappy and Booka will be fine.  It wasn't major stuff that I took them for - just quality of life stuff.  It was time for Nappy to start her Kinetic injections for arthritis so she's all set for the next 3 weeks.  They really helped a lot before her hip surgery so I'm hoping they work again just as well.

Booka has never had great skin, but in the last week or so it just went all out horrible.  He'd gotten to where he would rub and scratch on everything until he would bleed.  Medicated shampoos and OTC meds were not helping at all.  So he got a skin scraping to rule out mites (he had none) and he also got a painful steroid injection.  He cried.  🙁  We'll just do the daily pills next time, but hopefully the shot will give him fast relief.  His feelings were really hurt about that, btw.  He wouldn't even ride shotgun on the way home.  Poor little dude.  🙁

I've been sitting here on the Internet hoping to really, finally wake up for the day, but...

I've been sitting here on the Internet hoping to really, finally wake up for the day, but no luck with that.  I haven't had coffee in days because I'm trying to be super good, but today might require a small cup to get me going.

I did not have a restful weekend in the slightest.  Saturday I spent all day in Heflin at the festival.  I did make a little bit of money so I guess it was worth it, but dang.  It lasted 7 hours and that's not counting the setting up, breaking down, and traveling over there.  That is also not taking into consideration that I was in the heat and sun, and the sun makes me super sick.  I was wearing 100 SPF sunblock and still managed to get a slight burn.  Still feeling a little off from that, but not terribly.

Yesterday I was running around doing errands and things like that.  I didn't really have time to do homework or housework.  I ended up staying up later than I needed to so I had to drag myself to class this morning.  I met my Algebra teacher today and I like her - so that's great.  But now I have homework.

Thankfully I'm off work today, but the house is a wreck so I can't think.  Gotta get that handled right now.  Nappy and Booka have a vet appointment later this afternoon.  I'm worried about Nappy's arthritis and Booka's breaking out in something that is making him scratch up bloody spots.  🙁  He's never had great skin, but this is much worse than I've ever seen it.

On the bright side I've been drinking an ass-ton of liquid and I'm barely really flu-achy now.  I'm still having joint pain and my skin is still terrible, but I'll be ok.  I am supposed to double up on my methotrexate so I will probably take that dose late this evening and try to sleep off the tiredness before class tomorrow.  I also have an appointment with Dr. Crawford (a rheumatologist!) next Monday at 1:00.  Dr. Edmond actually had an appointment set up for me this week, but I would have missed a whole 2-hour class if I did that so I rescheduled.

Anyway.  I haven't had much time for Internetting until today and I'm only here now because I'm procrastinating.  I am officially getting up from the computer and walking away.  If you see me liking and commenting on things shoo me away from the computer, please.  😛

If understanding what your pet is saying...

If understanding what your pet is saying does not come naturally to you then you should study the way they communicate.  It is irresponsible to be willfully ignorant of how a creature in your care feels.  And unfortunately, when accidents happen it is the pet who usually pays with its life.  It's not a small deal.  It's a big one.

This is a brilliantly done video.
