Kitten situation:

I was in the left lane getting ready to pass someone.  There was a car in front of me, but not super close.  If I'm not mistaken it was red.  Next thing I know a kitten comes flying back towards my car.  I hit the brakes.  I saw it on the side of the road.  Young, white and orange and brown, blue eyes.  I stopped so close to it because it was right on the edge of the road.  I hesitated because I don't want someone to plow into me.  I panicked; couldn't find emergency flashers.  Said "screw it" and open the door.  No kitten.  My assumption was that it went under my car and hid.  Could not find it there.  Looked in the median.  Called my mom.  Moved my car out of the road.  Looked under it some more.  Looked across the road.  Took my car (super slowly) to Hero's parking lot to get out of the grass and away from the traffic noise to look some more.  Had to come home because the sun makes me sick. Looked on opposite side of the road on the way home.  Cannot find it.  Questioning my sanity.

I need help. Right now.

I need help. Right now. Either I'm insane or the car in front of me just threw a kitten out of their window. I pulled over into the left median and I can't find it. I'm afraid it hid under my car. I can hear it when traffic dies down. I don't know what to do. Was heading from Anniston to Jacksonville. Someone come help me.

I was at school today from 8:45 until around 7:30 this evening.

I was at school today from 8:45 until around 7:30 this evening.  Classes ended at 11, but I went to the library to study after grabbing some lunch because I have a TON of catching up to do.  Didn't go as great as I wanted it to, but I did make some progress, thank goodness.

Not long after I got there an alarm went off telling us to get out of the building and not use the elevators.  So I packed up all of my stuff and carried it down 9 flights of stairs.  😳  Better than having to carry it UP the stairs, I suppose.  LOL  But after they let us back in it went off AGAIN.  I asked someone if I had to leave and he said I could take my safety into my own hands.  So I sat there and kept working.  Then the alarm went off again.  Then they let people come back in.  And then the alarm went off every few minutes after that for probably close to two hours.  It was terrible.  They kept turning it off and announcing over the intercom that we didn't have to leave.  Finally, they got the alarm to stop sounding, but left the emergency lights flashing, so that was distracting, but less horrible than being interrupted by a siren followed by a message to leave.

What is so bad is that I considered coming home several times, but I couldn't decide which place had more distractions.  LMAO  When the library is quiet it is REALLY nice.  I love it.  It is so soothing to my brain.

Anyway.  They said that the building was having a circuit problem or something.  I assumed if it was an actual life or death emergency they would announce as much over the intercom, or people would have seemed more panicked.  I just honest to goodness didn't have time for that mess today.  LOL

I probably shouldn't, but...

Rest in Peace, Beyonce. 😢

Rest in Peace, Beyonce.  😢

Liver failure got her.  We're not sure what it was due to, but the vet said it would have been hard to treat her because of how wild she was.  I wish we could have done more for her; I'm gonna miss seeing my ghosty kitty around.  When she let Shaun pet her Monday night I knew she was not ok.  I didn't know it was that serious, though.  ☹️

Despite not being able to get my car out of the yard...

Despite not being able to get my car out of the yard without Shaun's help I made it to school in time for my second class, which was Linear Algebra.  Thank goodness because I definitely wouldn't want to miss it - especially if I can't drop it.

I also met my tutors today.  My appointments with them weren't until 1 and 2, but I went straight to the tutoring lab to study as soon as Linear Algebra was over at 11.  It was SO NICE to have some peace and quiet.  I don't think I realized how much of a difference that would make.

I know I said that I was going to stay at the school to study like, a week ago, but I kept making excuses to come home.  Knowing I had to meet someone made it a lot easier to stay.  I am hoping that I will be able to convince myself to stay the rest of this week, as well, but who knows?  I am feeling more able to cope with my life at the moment, so hopefully I will make good decisions.

In any case I feel like I'm on the mend and slowly climbing my way back up the mountain of things I let slide.  It is not a fun place to be and it's a lot of work, but it's definitely better than sitting at the bottom feeling helpless and watching the mountain grow.

Also, one of my tutors said that she is a CS major who is minoring in Math as well and she's getting close to done.  She said it sounded like I have a really tough schedule, so at least I know I'm not just straight up being a pansy this semester.  That made me feel a good bit better, too.  🙂

If you're offended by cursing then don't read this, but...

If you're offended by cursing then don't read this, but it is SO ACCURATE.  😂😂😂  Tarantulas are legit big babies.  I can't remember the last time Anansi ate.  She did molt recently, though, so hopefully it will be soon.
