Recovering from one of the worst and longest migraines of my life. I had no idea it was coming. It started around midnight last night and I was in so much pain that I was sweating. I slept maybe 3 hours total before I had to get up for a doctor's appointment.  Current meds dulled it just enough to allow me to go. 

Appointment went well. Doctors and nurses were kind. Gave me an ice pack for my head and did the appointment with lights off. Got my flu vaccine and had blood work done. Got a new migraine med prescribed. Have a follow-up in a month for a physical. Am set up for a mammogram referral. Also getting set up with behavioral health to handle my anxiety and depression and meds.

Glad I went. Other than that I've been on the couch all day. Got some puppy kisses and kitty cuddles. Slept off the nausea, thank goodness. Finally ate about an hour ago. Still feel like crap and am exhausted, but much better than earlier.

I skated yesterday. Got a super cute skate leash in the mail today. Looking at my skates gave me a little happy boost. I'll post another pic soon. I also think I'm growing some leg muscles. Super cool. For now, I've gotta finish getting right. Love to you all. ❤️

Look at this dog.

Look at this dog. Look at her stupid face. 😂😂😂

She seems to enjoy being tucked in usually but her face looks like she's in the middle of a crisis. Why, Rose? Whyyy?

(OMG, turn it sideways and it's somehow funnier. 🤣🤣🤣)

Today was my first trip to a skate park...

Today was my first trip to a skate park and it was SO MUCH FUN. There are several nearby that I'd like to check out but this was the first. There were 3 skateboarders there when we arrived but they left after a while so Shaun and I had the whole place to ourselves.

I tried rolling up a ramp and immediately fell flat on my ass. 😂 I knew I would but had to give it a shot anyway. I'm pretty proud of my progress, though. I am getting far more confident on my feet. I'm rolling faster and handling cracks and gravel without fear. I can bubble backwards and forwards. I can turn. I usually plow stop but can use my toe stop a little.

There is another stop I want to learn, and besides that I'd like to be able to skate backwards without having to do bubbles. Then maybe I can try tricks or ramps or whatever. In the meantime I'm just gonna keep trying and hopefully my stamina and balance will continue to improve.

I'm so excited. I never really thought of myself as athletic on any level but I'm really happy that I can do a thing with my body and actually see and feel improvement. I've found my exercise that doesn't feel like exercise and I'm so grateful. It's life-changing.

Also, look at that view. I love it here. ❤️

I've seen a lot of posts recently about supporting small and local businesses...

I've seen a lot of posts recently about supporting small and local businesses because of the pandemic and the supply chain issues so I thought it might be an appropriate time to renew my Etsy listings.  For anyone who didn't know me back when I was heavy into making jewelry:  I made it with nail polish.  Some of it came out pretty nice and I traveled (usually with my mom and brother) doing events and selling there.  It was a good time, but between some health issues and college I could no longer find time to make things or do events and well, then the pandemic and etc...  basically all of my supplies and already-made items ended up in the closet.

I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't know if I'll actually end up reviving Polish All the Things for really-realz... I'm kind of more health- and career- focused at this point in my life.  I would love to get back into nail art just for myself because it's a self-care thing.  I've already starting making time for keeping my claws polished so that's a step in the right direction.  I don't know if making jewelry will ever be a part of my life again, but if it does I can't imagine it being a MAJOR part.  I don't know.  It's fun and stress-relieving and I DO have a ton of polish...  But anyway, if you see something you want I'd say get it before it's gone.  I really can't make any guarantees at this point.

So without further blah blah, here's the link to my shop.  I've got a table full of jewelry that apparently never made it to Etsy so that'll hopefully get up there this weekend.  But yeah, that's all for now.

Thank you, friends.  ❤

I'd like to get up, but...

I'd like to get up, but this is my current lap situation. I suppose I've had worse problems. 😂😂😂

Oh look. It's me.
