The other day...

The other day I was struck by a very random memory of being SUPER young.... like 3 years old (if that) and in this memory I was crushing up Saltine crackers and trying to fill up my dad's belly button. I never could get it full, though.

This prompted me to poke my finger into Shaun's belly button... at which time I proclaimed "You have a shallow-ass belly button."

He, uh... He didn't quite know how to take that. 😂😂😂 But I'm 100% sure I could fill his belly button with crushed crackers in no time. Maybe even with just one Saltine. 🤔

We just gave Leon a shot.

We just gave Leon a shot. We are all SO grateful that next Saturday is his last one. We've been stabbing that boy nightly since April and he's honestly been the most unbelievably patient, wonderful kitty about it, but we know he especially is DONE.

Tonight he made a little fuss when we injected him and right after Shadow burst out laughing. We all looked at him like "What's funny?" and then he explained that that Leon's fussy meow sounded like he was falling off a cliff. He was absolutely right, too, and we all laughed after that.

We are all exhausted tonight and I am pretty sure that this is the least fun part of the day for all of us, but sometimes you just need to laugh. Leon always gets treats and wet food after his shot and of course lots of loving from Kira so I really hope he knows we don't enjoy hurting him. Poor little Gramson. He's a trooper, though.

Went on a walk this evening...

Went on a walk this evening and the sunset was STUNNING. These photos are not edited at all. Look at them enlarged, for real.



I spent yesterday celebrating...

I spent yesterday celebrating that I think the interview went well. I did that by buying cupcakes and going to the park, then having a movie night with Shaun and the kids. The rest of the day was spent trying to chill down to manage my stress level and hopefully avoid a let-down migraine.

I've been headache-y today so I've been chill and napped, but I'm ok. Now it's time to get back to work! I asked the interviewers if they had feedback for me and they said to keep working on my JavaScript (which I'd already begun doing in preparation for the interview / job), so I'm headed back to Codecademy to do just that. So far, so good!

I hope you all are having a lovely weekend. I'm hanging with the fam and making progress towards some goals, so no complaints here! ❤️

Look at this cat.

Look at this cat. He's had a hard, busy day of bird and squirrel-watching. He's literally taking up all of my legs. 😂😂😂


Ok. Ok then.

Ok. Ok then.

I don't want to speak too soon, but I think that went WELL. I had so much fun at that interview. We talked nerd shit and it was awesome. Wow.
