I have skinned knees.
Haha. I have skinned knees. I fell down this morning on our walk. I rolled my right ankle, and my wrists and palms are sore from landing.
I'm a hot mess. My face is going through something and is peeling and flaky and breaking out. Also, I tried something new on my nails the other day and got too careless with my e-file so my cuticles are mangled up and sore, too.
I'm in good spirits, though, and Shaun is great at first aid (thank you, scouts), so I'm not actually complaining. Just going to take it easy and let my body heal. Thank goodness I can keep my ankle elevated and iced while I work today. ❤️

Took this handsome boy out for a treat...
Took this handsome boy out for a treat at Piñion Coffee this morning, and then for a ride with us to The Paleta Bar. It was my and Shaun's first Paleta ever, which is ridiculous since we've been here almost 2 years. We'll definitely go back, though.
Shaun had a coffee and dark chocolate milkshake, and I had a Tres Leches paleta with white chocolate dip, graham cracker topping, and strawberries. It was so good! I ate it too fast to get a picture. 😂😂😂

Look at this cat!
Look at this cat! She says "Why are you standing in your chair?"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING A FULL DANGLE, ADRIAN!!!" I love it when she hangs all her legs down like this. 😂😂😂
(I'll reply to the comments on my last post soon. I'm still in my feelings and just need a minute. But I needed this laugh and needed to share it. Adrian hasn't done this in ages. My day is made.)

Today was hard.
Today was hard. We lost Ember (the cat with the gremlin voice).
She was fine last week - even playing. But on Friday I noticed that her stomach was super noisy, and later the poor thing had diarrhea and tried throwing up at the same time. We thought maybe something had upset her stomach and the plan was to take her to the vet today if she wasn't feeling any better.
She ran to the litter box several times over the weekend, trying to use it (but unsuccessfully). Her appetite was low and we still believed she had an upset tummy. This morning, though, she wouldn't even try to eat her stinky treats that she loves.
We got her in at the vet and decided to leave her so they could run some tests. Well, the news was not good. The doctor found a giant tumor in her lung. Shaun is 100% against letting them suffer, as am I, and the vet said that anything we did would be a very short-term solution that may not actually help her feel better. So the hard decision was made, and we let our sweet girl go.
My Alabama rescue peeps will remember her as Boo, the scaredy-cat from the shelter. But she'll always be our sweet, gnarly-voiced Ember who loved punching you in the chin with her head and getting super-squeezy hugs. This was one of her last hugs from her favorite person. She was actually purring (she REALLY loved to be squished). ❤️❤️❤️
