We moved a bunch of stuff today...

We moved a bunch of stuff today and Shaun is currently passed out snoring on the couch.  I swear he just stopped for a moment and said "Woof."  😂😂😂

I wanted to water my plants today.

I wanted to water my plants today. My body had other SUPER FUN plans called being nauseated and headache-y. I had nightmares last night and woke up feeling pretty rough. I took some Tylenol and napped not long after I made it out of bed. Then we ate and watched a couple of shows, and now I'm ready to sleep again. I accomplished nothing today, but Shaun got some stuff done. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I'm only still sitting here because boyfriend is snoring in my lap. Cats have no business being this cute when they are interfering with my life. 😂😂😂

My boyfriend is too precious. 😍😍😍

Wow, 1999.

Wow, 1999.

Anyone who didn't know me back then, can you spot the Blu?


Going through old stuff and came across this stash:

Going through old stuff and came across this stash:

Throw back to that time around 2005-ish where I was out here making goody bags of products and info to give to friends or anyone interested.

Travel Mate so anyone can stand while peeing (there have been many innovations on this since then; I now recommend the P-Style if you need a device). Info on The MoonCup and DivaCup (they weren't available in the US at that time, but you could buy from the UK or Canada if you wanted to. And I included some janky printed instructions from the Instead SoftCup website, as well as a SoftCup to try. I don't know if any of my efforts improved life for anyone, but I tried. I'm glad information and products are more widely available these days!

Let me add: If any of my friends stateside would like to try a disposable disc (FlexDisc or SoftDisc), I am more than happy to mail one to you to try (no charge or anything). All you gotta do is let me know! ❤️


Yesterday we used the truck and moved the big stuff...

Yesterday we used the truck and moved the big stuff (beds, couch, dressers, etc.) from the kids' apartment to the house in Anniston.  They have been moving smaller stuff for weeks now so at this point they are mostly moved in.  We still have some stuff to get out of that house and the kids need to get a bit more settled in and then we can get started on getting it ready to sell.  I don't know why but I'm pretty excited about that.

We also need to finish purging / organizing the house in Talladega.  There is so much to do and we've been working on it steadily since my class ended in December, but we're still not done.  I guess that's how it goes.  If this is the kind of work it takes to "get your life in order" then I TOTALLY understand why more people feel like they don't have their shit together.  😂😂😂  It is not an easy process.

On that note I'm off to make the most of this day.  I thought it was supposed to rain but that seems to have changed so it's a good day for moving stuff.  Super fun.  😛  I hope you all are doing well!  We are; just busy - but there's nothing wrong with that.  ❤

We cleaned out a room that had become a catch-all...

We cleaned out a room that had become a catch-all for the blankets, clothes, and other miscellaneous stuff we found in the other closets we had previously cleaned out.  When Shaun looked in there before we started his face dropped.  He said "It looks so daunting."  It really did, but we got it done.

For now I am relaxing - on purpose.  I'm about to play on my tablet for a while and just chill down.  I'm low-energy today and that's ok.  Shaun and I have been going hard on getting things done around here and rest is appropriate.  But I really need to make some time to water my plants soon; maybe I can take some time off from everything else and get that done.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well.  Have a great weekend, friends!  ❤

I never in my life thought I'd say I missed the days of PMS being terrible back pain + sobbing...

Gotta say:  I never in my life thought I'd say I missed the days of PMS being terrible back pain + sobbing at the drop of a hat, but this headache / nausea / fatigue combo (especially during a pandemic) can go straight to hell.
