Current Mood: Trying to keep myself from spiraling downward.

Current Mood:  Trying to keep myself from spiraling downward.

Yesterday morning one of our parakeets suddenly didn't look so great.  He seemed fine the day before, but yesterday morning he was puffy and tired-looking when we got up.  He was dead within the hour.  I don't know what happened.  Rest in Peace, Sapphire. 🙁

Then that thing with the fence happened.  There is some damage to be dealt with, but it could have been much worse.  Shaun stood it back up last night.  Thankfully, Faith and Nappy don't seem to look for places to get out of the fence, so that's a relief.  I don't feel like I have to worry about them too much before it's repaired properly this weekend.

This morning as I was feeding Koopa I decided to look for Peach.  Sometimes those little horned lizards bury themselves for days, so I wasn't immediately concerned that I hadn't seen her in a day or two.  Well, I carefully dug and dug in all of the places where they usually hide and I didn't find her.  I moved the water dish... and she was there.  Dead.  I don't know if she burrowed under and couldn't get out, or if she was sick and hid away to die.  She also seemed to be doing fine previous to this.  Rest in Peace, little lizard.  I will miss you.  🙁

So my stomach is upset and I don't feel so great.  Could be my meds.  Or it could be stress.  But I'm trying to get myself together and get to work because missing out on money isn't going to help anything at all.

Wish me luck.  I'm really glad it's the weekend.  😕

Wow. The cops just knocked on my door.

Wow.  The cops just knocked on my door.

APPARENTLY some guy just tried to run from them and bounced off my fence.  He broke it so that sucks, but they were able to tackle and get him because it slowed him down.

So... ok, then.  LOL

Yay, neighborhood.  😕

I have felt craptacular for most of this day.

I have felt craptacular for most of this day. Currently hoping that my Excedrin Migraine kicks in before I hit full-on migraine status.

Also... I really really think I might major in mathematics. I can minor in computer science. I have wayyy more enthusiasm for math than I ever imagined. Computer jobs are out there for math majors, as well. I don't really think it will be a limitation.

Also also... I am CONSIDERING slowing down with school a little. I feel like my whole life is work, school, and stress. Even though I see Shaun, Shadow, and the ani-pals with my eyeballs... I miss them. I feel like I'm always working so hard that I can't even connect with my family anymore. It's really not good. On the other hand I'm so sick of being broke and living this way that I want to hurry up and get done with school so I can get on with my life.

I guess I have some decisions to make. If anyone feels like weighing in, feel free. I feel like I don't know what to do anymore. 😕

Shadow made some blueberry muffins...

Shadow made some blueberry muffins in his Chemistry of Foods class the other day.  He brought 2 home for me.  They are really good!  I ate one for breakfast yesterday cold.  I warmed up the one I'm eating now.  All I can say is:

This kid better watch it or I'm going to put him on chef duty.  LMAO

Shadow got a medal...

Shadow got a medal for the Saks team at the Writer's Bowl today. I'm so proud!

Well, I've mathed myself into a headache. My writing hand is killing me. But I feel really good about the new test we took today. On the re-take of the one I made a 66 on, well... I feel like it went better than the first time, at least. 😂😂😂

I found out today that GSCC offers a Differential Equations class. I had no idea! I am super excited. I don't have to, but I'm definitely taking that over the summer. I've made it far enough that I can do things like that now. Go me! 😁

Good news and bad news:

Good news and bad news:

Bad news is that I liked my person at the mental health center. It's only bad because he's leaving. 🙁

Good news is that I feel ok about the new Calculus test, as well as the re-take of the other one. Hopefully I will get my grade back on track. I'm not interested in having a B in that class. LOL

When you roll up to the mental health center...

When you roll up to the mental health center in your TMNT pajamas and shell backpack with a shitty attitude and your hair sticking up... And an employee optimistically asks if you're putting in a job application. 😕

We'll see how this goes.
