I only need to look presentable...

I only need to look presentable from the waist up at my job. I work under a blanket from the waist down all day. Sometimes there is a cat. 😂😂😂

These babies aren't even in the ground

These babies aren't even in the ground, but they're budding and blooming. They are so gorgeous! ❤️

I hope everyone has had a good weekend.

I hope everyone has had a good weekend.  I spent mine basically sat on the couch.  I'm trying really hard to take care of my ankle.  I have a brace and I've been wearing it a ton.  I feel so grounded.  My ankle feels a good bit better - especially with the brace, but I've been trying to stay off it so it will heal since I re-injured it before it was done healing already.  I miss skating.  I miss our morning walks.  I missed doing chores this weekend, but I worry that I'm at the age where there will be permanent damage if I don't take care of it right.  So here I continue to sit.

Shaun got a trial of some new streaming service so we could watch something he wanted to watch.  We watched whatever that was last weekend.  Oh, it was Everything Everywhere All at Once.  That was pretty good.  Then we started Yellowjackets.  We finished the last episode that was out today and I guess now I'm waiting for more.  That sucked me in super fast.  Shaun, not so much, but he liked it enough that he didn't want me to watch it without him.  That's pretty much all we did yesterday.

The only other thing I did this weekend was put that chrome on my nails.  Though I got some great suggestions I never did do an accent nail.  I didn't photograph them or share them anywhere else.  I had planned to do that today but ended up with a headache so I napped with the cats instead.

I definitely feel like I am sitting too much. I know it sounds crazy, but I feel like that's why I got a headache... But thankfully this is just temporary.  I will probably start doing more non-sitting activity this coming weekend, thank goodness.  But since I've been sitting here I've also been working on my database.  I'm like, halfway though the "collecting information" stage so that's really exciting.  I'm hoping I can have my database more or less done this year so that I can move forward with other projects (like my website and swatching my polish collection).  We'll see.  But I'm excited.

Anyway, I'm done rambling now.  I hope the week treats you well!  ❤

I'm supposed to be in Vegas for work right now...

I'm supposed to be in Vegas for work right now, but I re-rolled my ankle and couldn't drive as planned.  I am definitely missing out on a good time. 😕

Look at this sunset, though. The desert is getting some rain and it smells so sweet and the air is so cool.

Peep the pink on the mountain. I almost missed it. They're called the Sandia Mountains; Sandia is Spanish for "watermelon" which is the color they turn at sunset.

I just did something.

I just did something.

This is going to sound STUPID DRAMATIC, but I finally merged my nail art page with my polish jewelry page.  It was a long process because Facebook wouldn't let me change the page names to match so I had to trick them and do it like, a word at a time.  I went from "Happy Nails" to "Polish All The Things" and it took MONTHS.

Then on top of that a lot of things had to match up on the pages.  A big deal was that one of the pages was "Classic" and the other was the "New Page Experience" and I kept trying to upgrade one but finally figured out that I had to downgrade the other.  They could have just SAID THAT SOMEWHERE, but anyway.  I got that done.

Then at long last, tonight, the actual merge happened.  The merge itself was fast once requested.  I'm glad it's done and over with.  It's something I debated on doing for years and once I finally made up my mind the whole everything was so scary and I had so many doubts and now that has disappeared BECAUSE IT IS DONE.

Anyway, I am finally starting to feel like I have the time and creative energy to do nail art again.  Hopefully I can get back on my jewelry bullshit, too.  I've even thought about creating decorative press-on sets to sell.  I see a ton of them on Etsy and it honestly looks fun to make them, so I'm considering trying it.  I don't know.  I don't have to jump into the deep end right off, but you never know - I just might!

Another one of my cactus plants has bloomed. ❤️
