I failed every other day this week at exercising (besides Sunday!), but I walked today!  Super thank you to Carol for meeting me and walking the pups.  I needed that and I know Storm was super happy to see her again.  😃

I guess I'm off to do homework while I'm awake enough to think.  Maybe I'll sleep well tonight.  I sure hope so.  I've been struggling with that all week.  😕

Almost Friday!  Woohoo!  😃

I have felt like an absolute pile of turds ALL DAY.

I'm not done yet.

That is all.  🙁

The dog didn’t give you pinworms.

I heard this all of my life - that my animals would give me worms. Straight from a vet's mouth - that's not how that works. Good to know! 🙂

Veterinary parasite tip #2: the dog didn’t give you pinworms.

I sometimes receive reports that a family member told them that their kids got pinworms from the dog. There’s no way this happened because dogs don't get pinworms. Humans get highly contagious pinworms from other humans. Pet rabbits or horses can be infected with pinworms, but even those pinworms are species-specific.

I accidentally left the gas can outside yesterday...

I accidentally left the gas can outside yesterday when I was cutting grass.  Got home to see Storm starting to play with it.  😳  I got in the house and then went outside and grabbed it.  I didn't yell at him or make any fast movements towards him like I was angry (though I did lean down and take the can) - he wasn't doing anything wrong and I wasn't mad - that was 100% my mistake.  But he cowered down and looked SO SAD.  🙁  He broke my heart a little bit.

Carol, do you know if he has been hit before?  Or if he got into things he wasn't supposed to at his old home - did they punish him harshly or yell at him?  Because that just made me too sad.  My heart hurts right now.  I just had to hug him.

Made a 90 on my Trig test!

Made a 90 on my Trig test! My average in there is an 89. I feel encouraged. 😃 Maybe I can make an A yet! 😃 😃 😃

Edited to add:  AND I just finished my graphs - all of which I feel pretty confident about. And they are beautiful! ❤

Shower time!

Shower time!  I surprised myself and cut some grass today.  I think I needed some exercise.  I feel less emotion-y.  Might have to do this more often.  Worth a shot!

When you're a grown ass adult...

When you're a grown ass adult, but have a meltdown the night before because you don't want to go back to school.  And you wake up this morning crying because you dreamed about Biology.

This is my life.  This is my life right now.  😢

Hung with the dogs a few minutes ago.  Took them bones, woohoo!  Faith doesn't care about bones.  She doesn't chew.  But she did box me half to death from excitement and walk between my legs several times as I was picking up in her room.  It's funny when you're so used to a dog walking between your thighs (as though you're riding her - except that she's too short) that you don't even miss a beat anymore.

Faith has been my clown on my darkest days.  She's so weird and goofy and I need that in my life.  I think I'm gonna be spending a lot of time with her to get me through this awful semester.  She's never failed to make me laugh just by being herself.  I'm feeling the love for my precious weirdo right now.  🙂❤
