I got my teeth did! 😁

It's been a good morning! I got my teeth did! 😁

Had a couple of cavities filled and old fillings replaced. Then got these bad boys cleaned and polished. They look and feel so good!

Pardon my sleepy eyes. I woke up before I was ready, but I wasn't missing my appointment for anything! I feel so lucky to be able to take care of myself this way - especially after going years without easy access to dental care.

Shaun scared me awake this morning...

Shaun scared me awake this morning by covering my foot that was sticking out of the covers and accidentally tickling me in the process.  That was at 7-something.  I thought I could go back to sleep and tried to do so for a while, but ended up getting out of bed and showering around 9:30.  Don't know why I bothered because the next thing I wanted to do was clean / organize the garage.  😆

We worked for hours and got a lot done.  We're trying to make space in there for another car and should be able to get one in there soon.  We sold Kira's before moving so she's been without one for a while.  Most of our time here so far has been settling in and all that so she hasn't really needed one, but we know it's nice to have your own transportation so we're going to remedy that pretty soon.

Anyway, after we worked so hard we were hungry and ordered some pizza and dessert - I had a slice of Tiramisu and Shaun had a piece of cheesecake.  Then we settled in and watched some TV and rested and digested and all that.  Then somehow I decided it was time to work some more.  😂

I ended up vacuuming upstairs and downstairs and also the actual stairs.  There has GOT to be a better way to vacuum stairs besides using the tube while lugging the vacuum up and down, and I am going to find it because that's some ridiculously back-breaking and inefficient work and that's not my jam.  I really like to vacuum at least once a week (and for some reason I usually want to do it on the weekend), so those stairs are a recurrent problem.  My point is - I vacuumed.  I also started my laundry.

At some point in the midst of all of my vacuuming (how many times can I type that word in this post?) Kira started baking.  She's not done yet so I don't have photos at the moment, but she's given me some peanut butter dark chocolate sugar cookie something or others and they are GOOD.  I guess I have had cookies for dinner because I'm not hungry anymore and it's late.

So that was my day.  Busy, but good.  I hope you all are had a good day, as well.  ❤

Edited to Add:  My sweet Shadow noticed me totally crashing out and just put my laundry in the dryer for me without me even asking.  I have the best little family.  ❤

I know it's not easy to see our little Tort...

I know it's not easy to see our little Tort because I'm sitting far away in the shade, but Cubba ran over to check on him. Why is our little family so precious? 😭😍 The most drama in our house is among the cats. 😂😂😂 I can't recall us having an interspecies conflict aside from when Rose was here and nearing the height of her mental issues. For the most part our animal children have always been able to get along.

A certain little sexy boy is having a picnic today. He's also wearing that beak and his nails back down to an acceptable level. But he's having fun. 😊

Kira had an early appointment this morning...

Kira had an early appointment this morning and we were all awake afterwards so we went clothes shopping today. I am normally not a fan of shopping, but I had no good interview / professional-type clothes and I figured it was about time to change that. Almost no one was out as early as we were, either, so that was great.

We all ended up with some nice things, but the biggest shock of the day for me was that I picked up several button-down tops at Goodwill and all but 2 fit pretty nicely. I don't exactly like them, but I don't hate them or feel like a clown in them and that's about as close as I've ever come to feeling "ok" in "professional" clothing - especially since a lot of it is very feminine and I'm... well, not.

In my 20s I used to think that I was not cut out to be a professional-type person, but since college I've changed my mind about that. I'm smart and I have skills. So maybe I do like to be comfortable and I don't feel good if I'm forced to present too femininely, but there is probably a middle ground. If there is then I am going to find it - and I'm starting with these mostly muted-color and un-frilly button-downs.

Aside from that I need y'all to see this jacket that Shaun found for me. I couldn't tell you if this is what it's supposed to look like or not, but I love it as-is. The person working at Goodwill said it's only been there for about 3 days so I feel like I got stupid lucky to have gotten it. It's so colorful and looks so neat. I love it!

Good morning from here.

Good morning from here. I got up early enough to see the balloons. 😍😍😍

I woke up this morning...

I woke up this morning with pain on the right side of my head and neck. I went back to sleep immediately - noped right out of that. Unfortunately when I woke up again close to 1 I was nearing migraine territory. I had breakfast and migraine meds and just woke up again - at almost 8 pm.

I love wasting whole days like this. It's my favorite. 🙁

I had nightmares both last night and while I slept today. I need therapy.

My wonderful Shaun is making me dinner and maybe the rest of the day will be ok. Here's hoping.
