Ooh! Just found a camel spider in the kitchen.

Ooh! Just found a camel spider in the kitchen. How exciting!!!

I took him outside. But look at this dude. Too cool!

Not my photo, but check out that mouth!  SO NEAT!

Awoken in the best way. 😍

Me and Shaun both rushed to the windows in delight to see them. Feels a bit like being a kid at Christmas again. We could see the people waving from the closer balloon.

Good morning from New Mexico. ❤️

I've been EXTREMELY low-energy all day.

I've been EXTREMELY low-energy all day.  I would almost say that I'm feeling a little depressed.

I got woken up early to help with a chore.  All four of us went to do it and that wasn't even necessary so I (theoretically) COULD HAVE gotten my rest.  After we were done we got breakfast on the way home.  Then I watched the other half of a movie that me, Shaun, and the kids started watching last night.  I wasn't into it and by the time it was over I was headed to my nest for quiet time.  I napped and then talked to Janet.  I wish both of us felt better, but regardless it was good to hear from her.

After I finally stopped hiding me and Shaun watched something on TV and then went to get some yummy food.  That perked me up a little.  Sometimes I just need to sit and look at his face.  We got home and I painted his fingernails while we finished watching a series, and then I shaped my claws.  I was trying out the oval shape, but it's just not for me.  I am aware that not everyone thinks short stilettos are cute, but I like them and even Shaun said they looked better.  Sadly, that is all I've had the energy to accomplish today.

I just realized that I might be feeling down because I looked at my memories on here yesterday and it was the anniversary of Booka's death.  The end of an era for me.  The last of my pack to pass away.  It was hard to read my post and not have feelings about it.  I am probably still sad.  ... Yeah.

Unfortunately for me, taking ownership of my content by checking memories every day this year and copying them has me re-living the best of times as well as the worst.  Some days it is very hard.  That was probably the case last night, but I was too exhausted and too distracted by the movie to realize that I probably needed to process that and have a little cry before falling asleep.  It is really crazy and amazing how the body responds to mental and emotional stress.

I guess I'm probably off to go (possibly) traumatize myself some more.  At least I'm going in bracing myself today.  Wish me luck or good vibes or something.  ❤

I'm having a day.

I'm having a day.

Spending some quiet time in my nest.

I spent most of the day with a friend and it was awesome, but...

I spent most of the day with a friend and it was awesome, but I think Boyfriend missed me. 😂❤️

Two Newses:

Two Newses:

1)  I have an interview.  It's for the holy-grail of my employment choices.

2)  Kira found the car she wants AND we got it locked down.  That's especially hard right now because used cars are selling fast.

Those are some pretty exciting things.

If you know me at all, then you know that excitement is terrible for me.  So... I got a migraine about it.  😂😂😂😭😭😭

I'm not going to say much about the interview until it's over and I know something, but I am qualified, excited, and willing to make some sacrifices to get the job.  I 100% could do this work and I'm pretty sure I'd excel at it.

About Kira's car - we started looking a little bit before Leon got sick.  When he got sick everything got put on hold.  Now that he's doing better (he's still got about 2 months of treatment left, but he definitely looks and feels better - thank goodness!) we started looking again.  Kira has done a lot of research and I'm proud of her.  She has test-driven the car twice now and did a thorough inspection of it with Shaun yesterday.  We did the paperwork and got a great deal; however, the bank was closed so we can't pick it up until tomorrow.  I'm excited and happy for her and kind of glad the search is over.  It has been work.

I don't know if all of that finally built up and decided to hit me all at once yesterday, but I got a migraine that just WOULD. NOT. QUIT.   I had to take my medication 3 times to get it to ease up.  That was a first for me; I've never had one so persistent.  Three doses of medication was all that I was allowed to take per the instructions on my prescription.  I was honestly scared that I was going to have to go to the ER for help.

So of course I have a migraine hangover today.  I feel MUCH better than I did yesterday - but far from good.  I have chores that I usually do on Sundays that I'm unsure if I'm going to do today.  I guess I'm taking it slow and easy for now.  I'm about to check my messages and notifications because I just couldn't after a certain point yesterday.

I hope you all are doing well.  I'm not 100%, but the day isn't over yet.  ❤
