I watered some plants today. 😊😍

Baby succs, big succs, recovering succs... Lots and lots of succs.

Baby Toes bloomed the other day. This one is funny to me. 🙂

Me, my old doggies, and my tailless Tobi cat...

Me, my old doggies, and my tailless Tobi cat. Kitten chews everything (including my fingers - HARD) so much that we bought him chew toys. I'm sitting here enjoying not having to fight him off my hands and phone for the moment.

That feeling when...

Tfw you're tired and have other things to do, but you're sitting by your dog clipping her toenails one by one when she falls deep enough asleep. 😂😂😂😭😭😭

We just watched Joker...

We just watched Joker and it was really good. I don't say that about movies often, nor do I bother to stay awake for most. 😂 But this kept my attention the whole time. Nice!

Back to school today.

Back to school today. I was late for a few reasons and that was a bummer.

I got maybe 2 hours of sleep last night. I think I was feeling anxious about going back. Also, my boobs were (and still are) causing me an unreasonable amount of pain. On top of that I have several rather painful bruises from being more active over the last week so it was super fun trying to get comfortable. It's always something, I guess.

In any case I barely got to sleep before I had to get up. As you might imagine I had a hard time waking up and left later than I should have. Then once I got to school I had the wrong classroom number in my calendar. Therefore, I went to the wrong classroom. Empty. Professor's office, empty. I logged in to my JSU account and saw my error. Came in 10 minutes late and felt like a douche. But, I got there eventually so I guess that was something.

I came home after class and napped for a few hours. I'm up doing chores and about to have dinner with the kids so I suppose I'm ok. I'm going to go to bed early with some Melatonin and pain reliever tonight and try to get my schedule worked out. So it didn't start out on the best foot, but I think it's going to be fine. I'm excited about my classes so that's always a plus.

I hope you all had a good day. 😊 If not, try again tomorrow!

Pardon our mess...

Pardon our mess; we've been cleaning out closets and have bags and boxes of things to donate sitting around everywhere. But my old puppy playing makes my heart so happy that I'm posting this despite the mess. The days he feels good enough to play give me LIFE.

This is why I'm in school.

This is why I'm in school. We're leaving poverty behind.

I know that what I'm doing seems hard (and some of it really is), but if you'd told me before I started college that I'd be doing what I'm doing I probably wouldn't have believed you. I started at Gadsden State in remedial math, y'all. You never know what you can do until you TRY. There are enough free resources to play with that it's worth it (literally in money) to check it out. ❤️

Jobs paying $75.00 per hour and salaries of over $185,000 a year are going unfilled due to a lack of skilled tech workers.
