We have a channel called FNX - First Nations Experience.

We have a channel called FNX - First Nations Experience. It has a kids show we just stumbled upon called Frybread Flats. It was teaching the native Cheyenne language. I love it here. I love the culture here. I love the people. I love the diversity. I love the inclusiveness.

This is in sharp contrast to my last post (about Alabama).

I don't usually do a lot of TV-watching...

I don't usually do a lot of TV-watching - I tend to like it best when it's off. But while I was having tea this morning Shaun turned on the channels and started flipping through. He paused on a soccer match (I am especially not into watching sports) and we both got sucked in.

First of all it was in Spanish and I like that. I'd like to learn the language and it's cool to see what words I recognize. But this one announcer... Oh, my dude was GIVING ME LIFE with how long and hard he was rolling his Rs. 😂😂😂 We left it on so we could listen to it. (Not in a making-fun type of way - it just made my heart happy).

The longer it was on the more Shaun paid attention and got sucked into the game. One guy (I hate to assume genders, but it looked like a men's team and sports is generally heavily segregated still) scored and was so happy he took off his shirt to reveal a sports-bra-looking thing underneath. I'm guessing it was a nip-protector of some sort. I've never seen anything like that before and I thought it was neat. Another guy scored twice and did a cute li'l happy dance.

Anyway, that's how my day is going. Unexpectedly interesting. No complaints here!

We're all having a slow, chill day here.

We're all having a slow, chill day here.

I think I've peopled more this past week than I have in AGES.  We've had lots of appointments lately and then twice this week I've ended up shopping.  I normally hate shopping but Kira needed a few things (as did I), and then Shaun kinda sprung the shoe search on me the other day.  Aside from that we're cleaning out the garage so I listed a few things for sale on Nextdoor and have been dealing with the messages and meets and pickups for that.  It's felt pretty hectic.

I guess in that case I should give myself a break today for doing absolutely the bare minimum.  I've slightly had energy and thought about going to the park for a walk, but the timing never worked out so here I stayed.  I've watched shows with Shaun, played games on my phone, colored, nursed my kitty, (but not with my titty - sorry, I couldn't help myself once my brain heard the rhyme.  You're welcome for that). 

But for realz, my Scar wuss isn't feeling well.  He's been throwing up and having diarrhea.  I have been giving him small amounts of wet food mixed with water to keep his hydration up and if he's not doing better by Monday then he going to the doctor.  Thankfully, I haven't seen him throw up or have an accident since I've been feeding him this way so *paws crossed* that he's on the mend.

Aside from him not feeling 100%, Kira doesn't, either.  She's pretty sore from having that sideways wisdom tooth dug out.  She's been resting and hopefully staying on top of her Tylenol / Ibuprofen schedule.  If I'm honest then I'm not 100% today, either.  I'm cramping and overall feeling pretty tired despite sleeping well last night and even napping today.  I also hate it when the kids and / or furbabies don't feel well so it's just one of those days around here, I suppose.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well.  It might not be our best day over here, but I'm grateful for the nice breeze from the open windows and the comfort of home and being together, and for the fact that I had nothing pressing to do today.  I'm feeling optimistic, I guess.  Good evening, friends.  ❤

Kira just got her last 2 wisdom teeth out.

Kira just got her last 2 wisdom teeth out. The top one came out fine, but the bottom one took some effort and ended up breaking. She's not as chatty tonight as she was last time. Poor baby. But I'm glad it's over. Hopefully, the worst of her dental work is behind her now.

We got our new electric bill.

We got our new electric bill. We used more energy this past cycle than we have since we've been here. Our previous bill was $244.83. Our new one is $8.18 which is the base service charge from the electric company.

I'd say that going solar was a worthy investment.

Shaun wanted to go shoe shopping...

Shaun wanted to go shoe shopping (for himself), so of course that means I got some shoes. 😂😂😂 It never fails that when he tries to find shoes for himself that he buys someone else a pair first. He did find some today, but I think he only got them because he was tired of looking and they pretty much fit (even though they weren't his first color choice). 

Anyway, these are my new shoes - straight from the kid's section. Yay for having small feetses.

Also, my hair for your viewing pleasure. I took my hoodie off when I got home and Kira said that I "had an Alfalfa." She wasn't wrong. 😂😂😂
