This sweet old man...

This sweet old man is the most popular dude in the house. The tortoise loves him, my sweet Midna who recently passed away loved him, and Harley loves him. He can't get any peace. It's late and he just wants to sleep, but he's been getting some pretty aggressive kitty loving for the last 10 minutes. 😂😂😂 

(Don't worry, y'all, everyone is ok. Boo just barked and scared Harley away so he could sleep. I also apologize for the noise. We're watching the old 70's Dune. It's weird.)

I finally figured out...

I finally figured out what to put in the adorable Groot planter that Emily surprised me with. These are a couple of baby spider plants that the piercing shop let me have when Kira wanted her nose pierced a few weeks ago. They don't look great because all I really know is succulents, but I'm going to try to keep them alive. I like how they look like lopsided pigtails because that is how I wear my hair (when I have any, that is. 😂)

Does anyone know of a way...

Does anyone know of a way to get financial help filling prescriptions?  Kira aged off of Medicaid and one of her medications (Trulance - it took FOREVER to find one that will help her and this one actually does) is $264 out of pocket.  There is no way we can afford that.  I'm on the healtcaredotgov site now trying to find insurance options for her, but we've got to get something figured out and I will take all of the help I can get.

If we can hang in there until this time next year I will be graduating and getting a money job with benefits.  Until then... we're just doing the best we can.  Thanks in advance, friends.  ❤

Kira and I washed Teyla today.

Kira and I washed Teyla today. Kira is so sweet. She loves everyone. She did a great job cleaning our sweet lizard baby. 😍

I passed all of my classes! Phew!

I passed all of my classes! Phew!

Database Systems - A

Software Engineering - B

College Geometry - B

Advanced Calculus - C

These are the lowest grades I've made in a semester, but the main point is progress - I don't have to retake anything. I am RELIEVED. I was legit worried about Calculus.

I spent all day cleaning my room...

I spent all day cleaning my room and organizing my jungle and changing my lighting setup. I love it! The lights DEFINITELY elevate my mood. And they help my plants grow and allow me to see how beautiful they are! 😍💗💓💕 Maybe it looks like a mess to everyone else, but it's just about perfect to me. 🙂
