I'm stupid excited because I just decided for sure that I'm going to migrate my polish database to the app I'm using to track my stamping plates. I guess I know what my winter project will be!

We got his heat tape today, so could finally complete the setup and move him in. He's been alternating between exploring his new setup and chilling in his warm hide.

I'm happy to see him moving around. I hope he'll eventually make use of the higher basket and hanging ball. So far, he's only gone into the bottom 2, but he's got all the time he needs to find the comfy, cozy spaces.

In other animal news... The neverending vet bills continue. Shaun and I woke up to a message from Kira saying that Leon (our Gramson) had blood in his pee. Our wonderful vet office worked him in, and he has bladder stones, too. Antibiotics for now, surgery the 23rd. Kira's medicating and keeping a close eye on him. At least she's excited to see him in a cone. 😂

Today was so weird.

Today was so weird. I feel like I fully relaxed for the first time in years.

Usually when I have a day off work I'm catching up on house repairs or cleaning. Or when I was in college, it was homework. Or before that, working one of my extra jobs. It's been a very long time since I've felt "caught up" enough with my to-do list to actually relax and on top of that - not beat myself up about it.

Sure, we need to build the greenhouse. But we have a few more months before that's pressing, so that's ok. We didn't do anything to it today like I thought we might and it's fine.

After our errands we watched TV and snacked, then hung out in the pool and played with the dogs. Both Bear and Cub came in on the splash pad. Shaun pulled Cub into the water off the splash pad and Cub promptly swam out, then ignored Shaun for about an hour. 😂 Cub said that was rude! Shaun probably won't do that again. 😂😂😂

As the afternoon cooled off I decided to come out of the water and lay on our turf in the sun. I put my sun hat over my face and just rested, feeling the cool breeze and the warm sun. Shaun was sprawled out on the pool stairs just chilling. We were silent, but happy. It was really nice. I honestly can't even remember the last time my brain wasn't thinking about something I needed to do, but today it wasn't.

I even painted my nails today. I didn't get crazy on the nail art, but they're not just plain. It's been a long time since I've had the time and/or energy to do them, but today I had both. (And yes, Dawn, I got Shaun's painted, too. FINALLY. Black gel - just like he likes.)

I'm not superstitious, but dare I say that I might be nearing having my shit together? 😂 I could definitely get used to this.

Goodnight, friends. I hope you all had a lovely weekend. ❤️

He's sleeping so hard and he's so cute I could die.

We got up and played today, then we took the dogs out to do errands and to the pet store so they could pick out toys and treats.

Bear is passed out under Shaun's recliner and Cub is crashed out in the kitchen floor. Tired dogs are good dogs. 😊

We're gonna do a little work on starting the greenhouse shortly and then hang out in the pool. We're having a decently chill day and it's pretty great. ❤️

He's not usually on the couch...

He's not usually on the couch, nor usually this chill, but he's watching TV tonight. For the moment, anyway. 😂
