Today has been busy.

Today has been busy. Me, my mom, and Dinorah worked on a fence to keep Kira's dog Cubba in. He is so bad! (Not really; he's a great dog but dislikes being confined and is smart enough to find a way out). He was going over the top of the fence but we made it taller, so then he chewed the wire at the bottom of the gate and got his head through. What's so funny is that if he gets out he just comes to the door - he doesn't run off or anything (unless there is a dog who wants to play). I got him a puppy because he REALLY loves to play, but she's not quite big enough to play with him yet. I'm hoping that having her will curb his need to bust out and seek a playmate. I have no idea, though - it could blow up in my face and we could have double the trouble, but I hope not.

In other super interesting Blu news I put a hard gel overlay on my nails this evening. I've never been a fan of gel polish for two reasons:  1)  You have to apply it just so for it to stay put and 2)  When school isn't zapping my life force I like to do my nails weekly at least so wearing gel polish that last 2-3 weeks didn't make sense to me. I'm still not into wearing gel polish, but this overlay is clear and is meant to keep my natural nails from breaking. I can grow a presentable set of claws on my own, but I always break the same 3 nails and it's so annoying. I'm hoping this will help. If the added strength isn't enough for the 3 nails I keep breaking I'll sprinkle acrylic powder on the gel next time. I read that "acrygel" nails are a thing you can do.

Even though today has been manual labor and nail stuff I'm not usually into it's been super nice doing / thinking about anything other than school. I've enjoyed it. 🙂

Should've = should have, not should of. Y'all are killing me lately. 😂😂😂

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.  ❤
