I was invited...

I was invited to join the Kappa Mu Epsilon National Mathematics Honor Society last week. I decided to go for it so I joined today and the induction ceremony is in March. I am pretty excited.

The picture has nothing to do with that. It's just a picture from the 9th floor of the library. It was a really nice, relaxing view. I don't usually sit there, but today I did. I've really been trying to keep my stress level in check. I'm seeing and feeling the effects it's having on me. I got my shoulders to actually relax the other day and it was such a foreign feeling. Not cool.

I feel like...

I feel like a real CS student today. I just had to create a GitHub account for an assignment.

Me and my gramson, Leon.

Me and my gramson, Leon. Getting some late-night snuggles over here. He's a back-sleeper, and he's tired. 😴

I woke up at 4 this morning with a terrible headache.

I woke up at 4 this morning with a terrible headache.  I took some pain reliever and went back to sleep, then woke up at 7 and took some more.  I went to math class, then slept in my car for a few hours because I was pretty sure I couldn't drive myself home.  My phone woke me up with the reminder that my last class was about to start and since I was already at the school and felt less bad by that point I went to it.  When I got home Shaun took me to the doctor and they prescribed me something.  I don't know what because I haven't picked it up yet, but I hope it helps.  These headaches are getting wayyy out of hand and I really can't afford to have something hindering me this badly with all I have going on at school.  I will fall behind for sure if I have to miss classes over this.  🙁

I'm off to get some dinner with my guy.  I've felt so bad lately that I miss his face.  Not cool.  I hope you all are having a great day.  ❤  I am hanging in here as best I can.

I had to bring a chair to my room for this redonkulous mutt...

I had to bring a chair to my room for this redonkulous mutt; otherwise she was in my lap, or squished behind me in my chair, or even worse, standing / sitting / laying on my keyboard / homework. I swear this child is half goat. 😂😂😂 Thankfully she has accepted this offering and settled down next to me. She looks pretty comfy. I hate that I'm about to have to wake her up to tuck her in for the night. 😔😴

I really thought...

I really thought I was going to have a productive housework day and visit my family after that since I had a small break in school work.  But instead I got a migraine and puked 3 separate times.  Poor Kira looked horrified.  It was a pretty rough day.

I finally got up and moving a couple of hours ago.  I'm doing laundry because I'm out of clean towels.  I'm gonna get a shower in a little while and go back to my bed again.  I definitely don't feel 100%, but I'm much better than I was.

I don't know what is going on with me, but I am having a ton of tension headaches that seem to be quickly turning into migraines lately.  The thing is that I don't feel that stressed.  Sometimes I feel antsy like I want to walk or (gasp!) exercise, but if it's not convenient I just don't.  I probably should, though.  It's just a lot easier to plop down and do homework, but clearly something that I'm doing in my life is seriously not working right now.  I definitely need to figure that out - fast.

I'm trying my best to be ready for this week.  I don't feel that I am at the moment, but maybe I will after a good night of sleep.  I hope you all are doing well!  Get ready because Monday is coming!  ❤

I am straight DEAD, y'all.

I am straight DEAD, y'all.  Kira and Leon are so precious together. 😍😍😍

He was really quiet at his foster mom's house, but he has been so chatty since he got here.  He talks to Kira so much.  All these precious little purrs and trills and meows.  And he slept with her all last night.  I don't think you understand what a big deal that is.  She's tried to sleep with several of our dogs and cats, but usually by about 15 minutes later she has put them back out.  But not Leon.  He snuggled her and slept when she slept.

His little eyes are red and he's been on eye drops, and Kira is being the best mommy.  Shaun helped her medicate him last night and she did it herself today.  Baby boy doesn't even hold it against her.  He still comes and rubs his face on her face and meows to her and kneads her like crazy.  They are so smitten with each other and it is the most beautiful thing.

My heart is so happy watching this bond grow. 💕💞💓💞💕
