Baby Girl's eyes today. 🙁

Baby Girl's eyes today. 🙁 Spoke with the vet, and she said it sounded ok to bring her in tomorrow. If she didn't seem to otherwise feel ok, I would do the emergency trip / fee thing, but she's in good spirits. She can also open that eyelid - I saw her do it when she got excited about some food I had. Whether that was voluntary or not, I have no idea, though.

So the power is out. I heard a transformer blow, and that sucks. I have so much to do today. Need to work on some animal homes as well as finish some Algebra. The power isn't expected back on until 5:30 or so. BOO. I might have to do homework at Shaun's until I can see to do things here.

I have a dog eye question!

I have a dog eye question!

Yesterday I came home from work and Emma was all squinty.  Her extra eyelids were really red and up over the bottom part of her eyes - one worse than the other.  I smelled her face to see if I could smell anything unusual on her (like mace or anything else I didn't recognize), but she just smelled normal.  Shaun flushed her eyes with water last night and she looked fine this morning.  I was planning to take her to the vet today if she didn't look ok, but she did.  But now she doesn't.  She's all squinty and red-eyed again.

What is going on, and is there anything I can do?  Our vet is closed until Monday now.  I don't think it's an emergency because she's acting normal otherwise.  I'm thinking it might be an allergy or something she's getting into around the house, but I have no idea what it could be!  I just want her to feel ok.  She looks so pitiful.  None of the other animals are having this problem.

Dang.

Dang. Looks like our little black gerbil, Melon, has passed away. 🙁 She was a funny little fat thing. It must have been old age because she was fine yesterday. Rest in peace, sweet girl.

I feel all wrong.

I feel all wrong.  I have been horribly exhausted for days.  And I've been so mean all week.  Just grumpy as hell.  Like, I love Shaun to pieces, but I can barely stand to be in the same room with him and it's nothing he's doing.  I've even been telling my dogs "MOVE!" rather than "Excuse me."  Not cool.  😕

I left work today to check on Shaun because I couldn't get in touch with him all morning.  I was just freaking right out.  I got to his house and his phone was off and he'd just woken up.  He was totally fine and I was relieved.  But not relieved enough to hug him without a fight.  I mean - I have been STRAIGHT RIDICULOUS and I know it, but it's not like I can help how I'm feeling.  🙁

At first I thought it was PMS, but my period was supposed to start Monday and it still hasn't.  (Before anyone starts screaming "Pregnant!" let me just say "ParaGard.")  Can PMS build up?  LOL  I think I might have some weird crazy hormone shit going on.  I don't know why, though, or what else it could be.  

I know that stress can affect things like that, but I think I've been at a normal (for me) level of stress the last few weeks.

I don't know.  I'm just glad it's Friday.  I'm gonna go curl up on the couch with some Algebra.  I'll either cuddle my book until I fall asleep or get some homework done.  I suppose I'll be happy with the end result of either.  LOL

Happy Weekend, friends!  ❤

Could not have said it better.

Shaun, buy me this for Midna!

Shaun, buy me this for Midna!  Then I won't have to color her butt with a Sharpie.

[DISCLAIMER: I've never colored my cat's butt with a Sharpie, but I've threatened it a thousand times. She's black, her butthole is bright white. It's all you can see when she walks away.]

This accessory turns your cat's butt into a beautiful jewel

I am beyond exhausted today.

I am beyond exhausted today.  Boo.  I don't even know why.

On the bright side I am excited about next semester.  I saw my adviser today and she picked a line-up that I think I can handle.  I'm not eligible for priority registration yet, but after this semester I will be!  😃  So I can't lock down my classes until Monday, but you better believe that is what I'll be doing first thing after class!

I think that every time I go and work out my new schedule I feel as though I've accomplished something.  I get to see what I've checked off my list and what's coming.  I still have a long way to go, but it's proof that I'm moving forward.  😃

The only down-side is that after next semester I've heard my classes will get much harder, so I might be down to part time rather than 3/4 time.  I really REALLY want to finish as quick as I can - it's not like I'm super young as it is, but the goal is to make very high grades to get the JSU scholarship.  SO.  I'll do what I have to do, I guess.

I'll let you know what I'm taking on Monday if I get all the classes I want.  😃
