I made a quick trip to the bathroom and came back to Scar watching work for me. Then he flipped over looking all cute. Two minutes of my job must have exhausted him. 😂😂😂

I took this yesterday after work.

I took this yesterday after work. I think this is the first time this one has bloomed. She's got a whole crown coming! ❤️

I'm finished swatching...

I'm finished swatching 8/12 of my helmers, or 48/72 of my helmer drawers. Or I'm just 2/3 of the way finished, if you prefer that. 😂

I'm taking the rest of the week off. I do have 2 small paint shakers, but I've been hand-shaking each bottle after the machines as well. Since I've been working on this basically every day since I started (in August? September?) my hands and wrists are hurting and I don't want to damage myself. And I'm tired. And since I'm about to be away from home for a couple of weeks I want to spend my time with Shaun.

I'm so excited to be closing in on a "maintenance phase" for this project. I'm having a great time playing with my polish, but it's gonna feel so good to my brain to have it all organized. Plus, it'll be so much easier to plan out nail art and jewelry. 😊

I think they're cold. 😂😂😂

I think they're cold. 😂😂😂

I definitely am. That's why I'm still snuggled in today.

The snuggle is real. ❤️

As of last night...

As of last night I finished swatching half of my polish drawers. I don't know if it's *quite* half of my collection, but it's probably close! 😁

I didn't start swatching fast enough...

I didn't start swatching fast enough and now I have a lap full of Balthazar. Look at this handsome fella! 😍

Big old sweet boy. ❤️

In other cat news: Scar has been doing pretty great. He's being a total spoiled brat up in my bedroom. I'm pretty sure he's thrilled to be in there with me. He's been using the box and his stomach is mostly chill.

BUT, he's had a cough recently and today he coughed so hard he pooped in the floor. Poor buddy. We couldn't even be upset because we know it wasn't intentional. I cleaned his butt and Shaun cleaned the carpet. Teamwork. 😂 We called the vet today and they were closed, so we'll try again tomorrow. Can't have him feeling bad.
