Big Shock: I fell asleep after I sat down on the couch. 😂

Woke up to my 18-lb kitty Balthazar creeping across my booster arm so he could be my little spoon. 😫

Then he sneezed in my face. Like, SO up close, directly on my lips. 🤮

I'm, uh, going to brush my teeth and get in my bed. I'm just done with this day. Goodnight, friends. 😴

I'm TIRED. I woke up and showered and thought "I'm gonna do some housework today."

That was false. 😂

I took Kira to her appointment today, making today the 3rd day in a row I've gone to the clinic (my appointment was Wednesday, Shaun's was Thursday, and today was Kira's). After we got out we picked up dinner, then came home and ate it and I've been tired ever since. I think my booster shot is making my body do some work. I've only had a slight headache which Tylenol fixed, so that's not too bad. But the energy-drain is REAL.

I'm hoping I get to my chores tomorrow. If I'm lucky I'll even get to skate. Paws crossed that goes as planned. For now I'm in "rest mode" until I go to bed, which probably won't be too long from now.

I hope you all are doing well and staying safe. Have a good night, friends! ❤️

Haha. My flu shot arm hurts, but my COVID booster arm hurts worse.

Skate leash!

Skate leash! It's so pretty to me and makes my heart happy. ❤️

I didn't skate yesterday because of my migraine. I also didn't skate today because I went to an appointment with Shaun. We ended up getting our COVID booster shots together. I came home and slept. I'm pretty much never 100% the day after a migraine, but the vaccinations yesterday and today could have possibly tired me out, too. I don't know. Hopefully, I'll get to ride my feet again tomorrow. We'll see.

Current Status:

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. ❤️
