Worse than a cat.

Worse than a cat. This thing is never still until he's in a lap. Then you hate to move him. 😂

Shaun just made me super happy. 😀😀😀

He gave me my birthday present 12 days early. It was this box of nail polish, poop, and salt that I wanted REALLY bad. 😂

Talking Tortie. He does this all the time!

He was out walking and Shaun put his foot on the floor to block his path so he wouldn't go under the couch. He decided to park and sit next to his leg for a few. Since the dogs won't have anything to do with him, we decided to hold him.

Apparently, he wants to be a lap tortoise. He is all about soft blankets, laps, and getting his head / neck rubbed right now. What a doll. 😍

Too bad Tort Baby is already preparing for winter. He's sleeping a lot these days. I miss him. ❤️

While I was looking for the non-existent eraser refills for my favorite pencils...

While I was looking for the non-existent eraser refills for my favorite pencils that I have been using basically since starting college, I found another kind of pencil that looked like something I'd like.  But they only had the color I wanted with the size of lead that I didn't want, so I did not buy it.

Instead, I went on Amazon.  (And yes, I tried there for the eraser refills first - no luck).  They didn't have the color / lead size combo that I was looking for at Office Max, BUT, that's ok.  I discovered that the pencil that caught my eye at Office Max is the updated version of my favorite pencil from HIGH SCHOOL.  😳  I just didn't recognize it until I saw it in the same colors as I had back in the day.

Needless to say, I ordered a pack.  I am so excited for them to get here.  😃  I can't wait to put them side by side and look at them.  Also, I am really curious to know if the updated grip will be easier on my fingers.  If it is it might go back to being my #1.  I know - I'm weird and picky and easily amused.  Get off me.  I take my joy where I can get it.  LOL

Booka is chewing a bone while Nom admires him. LOL This is one of the rare peaceful moments when he's not chasing him around, making a croaking noise. I've read that it's a mating thing. The cat loves Boo, too. Being popular seems hard. Poor pup can't get a minute of peace.

The guys went to an event at JSU after I got home early from class.

The guys went to an event at JSU after I got home early from class.  I sat on the couch curled up with my Cal notes.  I got all the way through going over / re-writing my notes with all of my explanations, etc., neat and in order, so that's not nothing because we have done a TON in class recently.  I have plenty more work to do, but that was good for one evening.

I have been really dragging lately - not only physically, but emotionally.  I'm still taking Celexa, but I think I'm just going through some things.  Some days I feel so accomplished, but others all I can see how far I have left to go.  Life feels very overwhelming these days.  It's been a rough year through and through, but recently my health is not cooperating and it just feels like too much.  That doesn't even count the outside stress that is pressing in.

Anyway.  I think my goal for the next few weeks is going to be making sure I get enough water, walking, and sleep.  And on that note - I'm going to bed.  Finally, a chore I can look forward to.  😛
