Y'all, I love my Gramson, Leon (cat), but...

Y'all, I love my Gramson, Leon (cat), but he has been so bad lately! He's been really bold and going into the dog / plant side of the sunroom and wreaking havoc. I've got so many broken and dying plants because he just knocks them over without a care. Thank goodness he's not chewing on them, at least. Kira would lose her mind if he got sick.

Shaun just helped me arrange some things in the sunroom to hopefully deter him from climbing the gate. We also brought in a dehumidifier because this humidity has killed several of my succulents, as well. I know that I have plenty and could stand to downsize, but by death is not how I would prefer to do it.

I guess I'm spending the remainder of my evening cleaning up, salvaging, and repotting some plants. Nom (tortoise) clearly has energy to burn because he demanded freedom when we entered the room, greeted me, and then sped off for a victory lap when we let him loose. 😂 At least my good buddy will be keeping me company while I get some work done. Gotta love him. 😂😍

No one asked but these are my top 3 favorite kinds of social media posts:

No one asked but these are my top 3 favorite kinds of social media posts:

1.  "Am I the only one who _____?"

Yes, of course you are the one person on this planet who experiences / thinks / feels some type of way.

2.  "I know you're looking at my profile but you don't know my life."

Yes, you are posting on social media where most things are fake and people with common sense know that.

3.  "Don't talk about me / judge me because I'm a badass who will say something back / fight you."

Ok, homie. We're all scared now. 😂😂😂 But for real, why are you entertaining haters and frenemies?

I probably posted similar things in my more immature years, but me and most of my peers are pushing 40+ and honestly this is not a good look now (not that it ever was). It's entertaining as hell, though. 😂😂😂

I just felt like posting and this is an opinion I found bonking around inside my head. It's not directed at anyone in particular but if the shoe fits feel free to wear it. 🤷‍♂️

Independence Day is one of the few holidays...

Independence Day is one of the few holidays that I don't disagree with celebrating. However, our method of celebration with loud fireworks is awful. We can and should do better.

Me and Shaun have gone hard at the house in Anniston for the last 3 weeks.

Me and Shaun have gone hard at the house in Anniston for the last 3 weeks. Shaun didn't go one day because the paint fumes were getting to his lungs, but other than that we both worked every single day.

We painted almost the whole house, had Merry Maids clean, still ended up scrubbing a couple of rooms they didn't have time for, upgraded a few fixtures and switches, replaced most of the blinds, had the carpet cleaned and outdoors power washed by Southern Carpet Cleaning and Pressure Washing LLC, paid a neighbor to help with yard work and got the kids to do some, too, not to mention emptying the house / building and taking care of other details / minor repairs.

I am crashing as I type this. I am so, so exhausted. But our house looks great if I do say so myself and she is ready for her glamour shots. I'll be sure to post a link once she's listed!
