We're getting ready for bed. She's putting away her stuff, too. 😂❤️

That moment when your teenage son turns to you and asks...

That moment when your teenage son turns to you and asks "Do you know what a Hoover is?" and your heart stops.

I was like "A vacuum cleaner?"

"No."

Me:  "😳" 

"You know, when someone puts their mouth

(at this point my eyes are huge and I'm thinking "Oh shit.")

... over your nose and sucks all your air out. It's funny. It makes this sound. *makes sound*"

Me:  *breathing a sigh of relief*  "That's gross. What about the boogers?"

"You do it with someone you're close to, mom."

Me:  "Ooook then."

Jesus. We've had some talks and I'm pretty open with him, but I really was not prepared for where I thought that was going!

Went by Tractor Supply for some cat food...

Went by Tractor Supply for some cat food. Found a good deal on tennis balls, so I bought a bag. 

Apparently, Beau / Roger is all about some fetch. He got so excited when we threw the ball, and he brought it straight back immediately. I think he's having a good day. 🙂

I cleaned up an entire trash bag full of newspaper from the dog room.

I cleaned up an entire trash bag full of newspaper from the dog room. LOL Since they have a doggie door, they bring in dust and they shed, so the floor needed sweeping. Found out (by observing her doing it and also by sticking my hand in it) that Faith had been marking some of the papers. I don't know how she chose which papers to mark, but anyway, obviously the floor needed to be mopped.

I did all of that stuff. I did it and that room looks great. FOR NOW. LOL

Anyway, old puppy head is relentless when trying to get someone to play with him. He almost had Faith tugging a bone with him. In all the years she been here she's never shown interest in a bone. Maybe he's good for her. She actually nibbled a bone while I was in there cleaning. 🙂

Took my little Booka Bear to see Dr. Long this morning.

Took my little Booka Bear to see Dr. Long this morning.  He's had a lump in the skin on his side for a while now.  A few years ago Dr. Berry said it was a fatty tumor and nothing to worry about.  Well, old boy started chewing at it and he also grew another spot on his chest, so I figured it was time to have it looked at again.

Dr. Long said that as long as we could get him to stop chewing that one spot, it was ok.  They are little tumors, but they don't seem painful to him and he's acting fine.  That one spot is irritated and if we can't get him to leave it alone we'll have it removed.  Otherwise, he's doing fine - thank goodness.  I really needed a dose of good news.

I'm off work AND school today.  Not feeling too bad so far.  Had a horrible nightmare around 5 this morning, but thankfully it was not real life and everything is ok.  I am about to go and get everyone fed, then maybe clean up the newspaper that is covering my dog room floor.  LOL  I'm gonna give Roger / Beau a bone to chew on to keep him out from under my feet.  He got a pizza crust for the first time last night and I think it made his day, but it didn't last long.  Another quick note on the pup:  His hair (what he has of it, anyway) looks less dry and brittle.  Yay for nutrition!  🙂

I don't feel as dead today. That's a little better.

Shower time.  Maybe that will help.

I'm having a depressed day.

I'm having a depressed day. Shaun has had to help me with even the most simple things. I had one goal today - to put away some laundry... but instead, I napped.

I even left the house and went walking with the guys to try to make myself feel better. It didn't work. How long is it ok to feel this way before you go to a doctor? I've been to the mental health center before, but I never feel bad long enough for them to medicate me. Thank goodness, I guess.
