Booka doesn't like to be left alone...

Booka doesn't like to be left alone - probably because he's a million years old. But it was bedtime and I could tell he was ready so I took him to my room and left him there for just long enough to brush my teeth. Rather than settling himself in he barked such a fit that when I got back I found Shaun sitting with him and comforting him.

Tl;dr:  My old puppy is spoiled and I married the kindest human. 💗💗💗

A couple of days ago we had a thunderstorm roll through...

A couple of days ago we had a thunderstorm roll through around 4:30 in the morning.  I was in my bed and Shaun was in the den (at the opposite end of the house).  I wasn't quite asleep; I remember being aware of the storm.  Then suddenly I was wide awake with my heart trying to escape my chest because there was a lightning strike so close and so loud.  I've never experienced anything like that before.

I texted Shaun to see if he was ok and he said he was fine and heard it coming.  WHAT?!  After some yard work yesterday evening he told me that the tree outside of my bedroom window had been hit.  I went outside to look a few minutes ago and there are scorch marks on it.  That's so sad, but that definitely explains why it sounded close. That tree is about 20 feet away from my room.

I did my nails twice recently.

I did my nails twice recently. One time I had high hopes but hated the way it turned out. The second time (pictured) I was just going to wear a polish but Shaun told me I should stamp purple on it, so this is the result. I actually really like how it came out. Sometimes less is more, I suppose.

I am so excited.

I am so excited.  Last night I worked on my desktop PC that had been running slow and had wayyy too much junk on it.  I've had it since 2012 and it's running Windows 7 (by my choice - I blocked the upgrade to Windows 10... for reasons).  It's still a good computer but for the last two/three years it was easier to just use my tablet for school.  But now that my summer class is coming up and it's going to be fully online I need to use my tablet for my ebook while still being able to connect online and watch class.  So... it was a good time to go ahead and get it running better.  I did and I feel accomplished!

ON TOP OF THAT I found my .psd resume file.  I thought I'd lost it and would have to start ALL THE WAY OVER on my favorite resume, but I don't.  That is a HUGE deal because I worked for literal hours perfecting it.

On a similar note:  I've also got most of the files that I'm not immediately using put on my external hard drive.  I feel so much more organized than I have in a long time.  I deleted a bunch of duplicate files, sorted things, and have even considered scanning in some stuff from my filing cabinet and going more or less paperless when it comes to documents of which I need to have a copy.  I don't know.  That's probably a bigger task for another day, but I can certainly add it to my to-do list!

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good so far today.  I have my bedroom and PC nice and tidy and ready for school / work when the times comes.  My brain feels so chill when things are in order.  Yay!  😁

My claws are SHARP.

My claws are SHARP. While changing into my pajamas just now I literally sliced my nip-nop to the point that it's bleeding. I'm definitely repainting these bad boys tomorrow to dull them. Gotta cap those edges!

Ouch! 😬😬😬

Shaun made a pizza.

Shaun made a pizza.  He normally puts spices on it and it's good, but when we cleaned the kitchen the other day he moved the spices into new containers.  He wasn't ready for the way they pour out.  Let's just say, um... I choked out.  I wasn't ready.  😂😂😂  It was good, though!

I watered this many plants today.

I watered this many plants today. I just finished and I know I started by 8 this morning. I'm tired!

I bottom-water all of the pots (meaning that I move them to a tub of water, then move them to a rack to drip dry, then put them back on the shelves) and I refill all of the jars by hand with a squeeze bottle. It's kind of a lot. Thankfully, I got most of them today. There are a few stragglers left that I'll get within the next few days. Hopefully. 😂😂😂
