I woke up around 10.

I woke up around 10.  Shaun made lasagna and we ate it.  We watched the movie "Best in Show" and I otherwise sat here being a lump until Kira messaged me wanting Zebra Cakes.  Despite it being like 2 in the morning the kids came over.  Kira brought taco salad she'd made.  It was good.

We chatted and almost always when the kids are over, we end up on YouTube.  Kira showed us a freestyle video by Mystikal.  Then me and Shaun were like "Have you heard any of his old stuff?"  So down that rabbit hole we went.

Now I'm crashing again, but for a while today my heart was happy.  Shadow and Kira are my favorite people and when us four are together it's the best feeling.  I know that Shaun and I don't have a conventional relationship with the kids, but we wouldn't change it for the world.

And on that note I'm heading back to bed.  Gotta get up some energy to do school tomorrow.

I've been slowly sinking for about 2 weeks.

I've been slowly sinking for about 2 weeks. Today I slept until 4 and now I'm back in bed. Hello, depression. Let's do this so I can move past you for a bit.

The only problem I have with being short...

The only problem I have with being short - not enough lap to go around. 😂😂😂

In case anyone missed Nom...

In case anyone missed Nom... He wanted attention tonight. He's such a good boy.

We were awoken at 5 this morning by a giant limb...

We were awoken at 5 this morning by a giant limb (about 7 inches in diameter, I'm guesstimating 30 feet long, plus branches) falling on the house. I didn't sleep well after that and woke up with a tension headache. Shaun was able to cut the limb into pieces and remove it from the roof with minimal damage, thank goodness. But I'm getting a late start on getting anything done because I've felt so crappy. I had trouble getting back to sleep after the blast of adrenaline I got when it sounded like the house was coming down. I'm off to feed my animals. I'm shocked that I don't hear tantrums since it's so late in the day.

OMG, M*A*S*H is on Hulu.

Yesterday I felt pretty good and even went walking.

Yesterday I felt pretty good and even went walking.  I saw a groundhog and a turtle!  I came home and watched my lectures and felt good about that.

Today I didn't get anything done.  I guess that's a lie - I napped.  We took Adrian (cat) to the vet.  She's missing her top fangs and we just wanted to make sure she is ok (she is).  There were no lectures posted, so it's not like I slacked terribly on school, but I could have done more homework or something and I didn't.

I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster.  I can't wait to be finished with school.  The amount of anxiety it causes me is exhausting by itself, but this pandemic type of anxiety is next-level.  Also, I am REALLY HOPING that JSU keeps classes online for the fall semester.  I do not feel willing or able to go into a public space 2 or 3 times / week.  That feels like the wrong thing to do and I don't want to do it.

Anyway.  I hope you all are wearing masks and social distancing and being safe.  Well, I know from posts that a lot of you aren't, but I hope none of your loved ones die because of it.  Be well!
