The lace and butterfly nails are coming off tonight.

The lace and butterfly nails are coming off tonight. The polish is starting to lift where I chipped the thumb earlier this week. If I don't remove it I'll start peeling my nails, which is terrible for them. Other than that they still look great - much to my surprise. As rough as I am on my hands with all of the cleaning and everything else I do, they usually only last 4-ish days. I did the lace / butterflies on Thursday last week, so that's a record. I really don't mind when my polish starts coming off because I enjoy painting them as much as looking at them, so it's no surprise that I was starting to get impatient with these. LOL

Anyway. I have no clue at the moment what I will do next. Gonna play with my plates and see what I come up with. I might be too tired to really do my nails tonight, but maybe I can at least settle on what I'll do at some point this weekend. We'll see.

I'm sick. 🙁

I'm sick.  🙁

I went to bed nice and early last night.  It started to rain.  I fell right to sleep thinking "Yes, spring break!  I'm gonna feel nice in the morning; I'm getting plenty of rest!"  Life called bullshit on that.

I woke up with a horrendous headache.  It was so bad that I didn't even get out of bed.  I yelled for Shadow until he brought me some water and Excedrin migraine.  A few hours later I woke up again and sadly made myself go to work.  Now I'm finally home.

My body hurts.  I can't get warm.  I'm nauseated.  And I have this weird half-way headache.  I'm on the couch and I'm not moving.

Yay, spring break.  😕

I made a 94 on my History test...

I made a 94 on my History test so apparently I'm not a complete failure all the time.  It is still possible on some level for me to make a good grade.  Yay, I guess?

It's officially spring break for me.  I still have to work, but no classes or tutoring for a week - although I do have some Trig graphs and homework to do.  But not today!  😃  Woohoo!

I'm off to bathe some lizards.  Later, friends!  ❤

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. ❤❤❤
