Walked the shell kids.

Walked the shell kids. Tort Baby was about as into it as ever (as evidenced by him keeping his head in his shell). 😂😂😂 Nom ate everything - if you can imagine that. 😛 I'm so glad that winter is over. Now these two are awake and busy! 😃

Look. If I can make it through my History test on Thursday

Look.  If I can make it through my History test on Thursday - that will be it for me.  I will have officially made it to SPRING BREAK.  😳

That is not as super awesome as it sounds because I will still have to work - I just won't have the added stress of school on top of it.  But that's ok.  I'll take what I can get.

I am really disappointed in how I'm doing this semester.  I made a 74 on that Biology test.  Still waiting on the Trig grade.  The only class I feel good about is History.  I am really trying my hardest, but I'm just not doing as well as I'd like.  It sucks and I don't know what to do besides hang in there and keep on keeping on.  🙁

I am trying to cut myself some slack because so much has gone wrong this semester in my real life that it's just kind of blowing my mind.  I think the pipe busting kind of murdered my last nerve.  I'm in this weird place where when something bad isn't happening I'm not relaxed - I'm just hoping more bad things don't happen.  That's not a great way to live.  I'm sure I'll snap out of it eventually, but DANG.

I've never had this happen before just out of the blue, but my upper back and shoulders hurt.  I bet it's just from tension.  It all feels really tight and weird.

Anyway.  Guess what!  I'm off to study.  Bet you didn't see that one coming.  😂

Today was ok...

Today was ok even though I've been fighting off the crud all weekend.  I could feel the congestion and post-nasal drip starting on Friday before I even left work.  Blegh.  I don't normally take decongestants, but I did this weekend because I didn't have the energy to suffer through it this time.  I needed to rest and the meds made me sleep and it was fine.  I might even take another one tonight because I need to sleep rather than stay up all night blowing my nose.

I finally went to Munford this weekend.  I saw Dad's new place and they are working on getting settled in.  There is some work to be done on the mobile home, but he's handy and can do it.  He doesn't seem to mind one bit because he'll be able to do things the way he wants them done.  He's no longer on a main road, but on the back side of the property so he's happy about that.  Overall he seemed happy with the direction in which things are heading.  I helped him clean a little today and I'll go back next weekend and see what else we can help with.

Me and Shadow also stopped by the place that burned down and it was basically completely demolished.  It was hard to look at.  It's a place where I spent summers as a kid with my aunt and brother and sometimes my cousin.  It's really sad to think that it's gone now, but there's no changing it.  On the bright side we saw Big Girl (dad's surviving dog) and Rumpy (the cat that made it).  Both were looking well so that's nice.  They'll be moving over to the new place this week when Dad and Lisa start staying there.

Other than that I still haven't gotten any grades for the two hard tests I took.  I have Biology class in the morning so maybe I'll see how I did on that one, at least.  My Trig teacher also teaches high school and she's on spring break with them this week so we might not get our grades on the tests until after GSCC Spring Break ends the next week (the week starting after the week that starts tomorrow).  Feels like a long time to wait, but I'm trying not to be anxious about it.

Anyway.  I hope the weekend has been good to you.  I've wanted several times to paint my nails, but these butterfly lacey ones are hanging in there and I just have no good reason to remove them yet.  I bet after I scrub Teyla's floor tomorrow and do some other things around the house that they will be ready to come off.  😂  I guess I can entertain myself by figuring out what I'd like to do next.  😃

Goodnight, friends.  Maybe this week will take it easy on all of us.  🙂

Me and the kid...

Me and the kid are watching Bob Ross paint on Hulu. Everyone needs to watch Episode 2 of Season 23 (Forest Edge). He goes from politely shit-talking a bad driver to nursing a baby raccoon - all while creating a beautiful forest painting. ❤❤❤

I felt like I deserved it, so I treated myself last night. I painted my nails!

I felt like I deserved it, so I treated myself last night.  I painted my nails!  Woohoo!  😃

I didn't go with the whole "butterfly on each finger" thing.  I just can't.  It feels so wrong to try to match my nails.  And when I inevitably fail it will look dumb, too, because they won't be perfect, so... there's that.  LOL

I wish this lighting would have captured the beauty of my base coat, Demure Vixen by Essie.  I know it's not the best match to my skin, but I love the pink / lavender undertone.

I also meant for one of my butterflies to turn out blue (the one on the thumb), but the way I layered the colors, it didn't work out that way.  Oh well.  At least it is somewhat different than the green and purple on the ring finger.

Anyway.  I did it.  And I like it.  But I wish I could take it off already and paint something else now.  LOL  I'm terrible.

Today sucked.

Today sucked.  I fought a migraine all day.  Didn't go to work.  Mostly didn't get anything productive done until about an hour and a half ago.  🙁  And that's really terrible because there is A LOT to do.  I'm finally doing laundry - which is something because everything that got wet will mildew / mold if I don't hurry the hell up.  🙁

I do not feel well.  My head and my brain aren't good.  I think that I have hit a point of "stressed out" from which I'm not having an easy return.  I feel really weird inside my head.  Like, almost kind of head-spinny all the time.  And even when I'm exhausted sleep doesn't come easily and I feel really shitty when I do finally wake up.

I don't know what I need to do to get back to a "normal" kind of feeling, but I wish I did.  Maybe it's just a time thing.  But I haven't really felt ok since Monday.  I've had episodes of my chest being tight... kind of almost suffocate-y at times.  I'm not really used to that.  But between that and my head I'm having a hard time focusing and thinking and doing things.  🙁

I'm glad it's Wednesday.  I'll see my dad this weekend.  He's moving into his new place so that should be awesome.  I will also be seeing a friend and taking her some nail art supplies so I think that will be fun also.  As long as I can survive until then.  😂😂😂😭😭😭

Me, in dragon form. 😂😂😂
