Oh, Shadow.

Oh, Shadow. I'm sorry for making you so weird. 😂😂😂 

He was just petting Rose and tucked her in with a blanket like she likes. Then he nuzzled her head, which was sweet. Totally normal, right?

Except that I heard him smell her head when he nuzzled her and that is 100% a Blu move. 😂😂😂

I love that kid. ❤️❤️❤️

Edited to add:

Oh my gosh. Kira just came into the living room and pet Rose. Then (completely unprompted) she bent down and sniffed her head, too. 😂😂😂 She said "Ew, her head smells weird. Like dirty fur."

I'm sorry, y'all. My influence is too strong. 😂😂😂

I am SO not in the mood for this dog right now.

We let the dogs out after the construction guys left. Well, Shaun had to carry Rose out because she wouldn't go through the scary new room.

Big mistake because she also didn't want to pass through it to get back in AND she knew that if she got near us we'd make her. So it's 40°F and raining and she has the whole yard in which to run away from us. Not food bribes nor even play bribes would make her come to us. She also has barely eaten all day. It feels like we're completely back to square one with her and IT SUCKS. 😟😟😟

Me and Shaun are super-pumped to be getting the sunroom we've been waiting for.

Me and Shaun are super-pumped to be getting the sunroom we've been waiting for. The dogs are less excited. 😂 Rose is, (of course), scared of the new room. They are also having to stay indoors and get walked rather than running free in the backyard. The horror! The ABSOLUTE MISERY! 😂😂😂

Today is day 2 of work and I'm pretty sure the crew will be finished tomorrow. I don't know if the dogs can survive that long. They are SO sad! Cubba sat with me on the couch and breathe-whined for like an hour. He really, really needs everyone's pity right now. 😂

Anyway, I'll post pics when the sunroom is done. We have a lot planned for it! 😁

Y'all, my booty butt hurts...

Y'all, my booty butt hurts from a fall I took while skating weeks ago (before I had butt pads).  I read to chill back on activity and let it heal.  I'm like super pretty certain that I didn't break my tailbone.  It only hurts when I move certain ways... like trying not to fall off the hoverboard or when I play with Rose and she suddenly drags me sideways across the yard.  Side-step kind of moves seem to be the worst.

I think I'm not doing the best at resting it aside from actively trying not to be active (hence all of the organization and stuff like the house rather than playing outside on my feet-wheels), but I don't understand why if it's a bone bruise it hurts when my muscles move certain ways.  Are my muscles pulling on it?  What is really going on in my butt-area?  If any of you have any insight I'd love for you to share that with me.

Thanks in advance.  ❤

The last we heard...

The last we heard we'd be having our sunroom built mid-February. We just got an email asking if they could start tomorrow. Um, YES PLEASE. I'm so excited!

😁😁😁

It looks like FB finally worked out some glitches...

It looks like FB finally worked out some glitches regarding public groups. I'm no longer showing a backlog of 200+ posts and participation requests in Happy Tails Lost & Found Pets of Calhoun County! 

Sweet relief!

We finished organizing our closet yesterday.

We finished organizing our closet yesterday. It's giving me ALL the good feelings in my brain. 😁😁😁

We purged so much stuff when we were preparing to move. Then instead of packing most of my clothes into boxes I bought these drawers and labeled them with Scotch tape. It made unpacking and knowing where my clothes were SO MUCH easier. I replaced the tape labels with printed ones yesterday. I think it looks nice.

I've been going hard on organizing the house and I've made so much progress. It feels so good. I really super hate disarray and clutter and not knowing where things are. This has been so amazing for my mental health.

Next up - finishing my nail art stuff and nail polish. That's a big endeavor, but I'll be so thrilled to have it done. 😁
