Look at this dog.

Look at this dog. He's been a goober all day. 😂

I went to the greenhouse today and I needed that.

I went to the greenhouse today and I needed that. I discovered some purple-striped buds on this cactus.

I just enjoyed this picture.

Shaun carried the Booger upstairs...

Shaun carried the Booger upstairs when the kids wanted their presents. It was his first time up there. He had to check everything, even the tree! Cub came up, of course. He always does. I just didn't feel good about leaving Bear out. He's part of the family, too. ❤️

He was doing it more before I busted out the camera...

He was doing it more before I busted out the camera (of course), but Bear started kicking with his back legs today. I know that's a totally normal dog behavior, but it's one he's never done before. I think he discovered a new thing he can do! Silly goose. 😂

I love how happy he looks. He had to get a couple good kicks in before he ran over to me. 😂😂😂❤️

I haven't been outside in days...

I haven't been outside in days, so I thought I'd go check on my plant babies. Bear, as usual, came with me. I'm literally not allowed in the greenhouse without him, since, (as you know), he's the helper. If I shut him out, he pounces the door and whines.

If I'm pruning leaves he's grabbing a mouthful. If I'm watering, he's taste-testing. If I'm just looking he's sniffing and checking them out, too. He likes to smell the "flowers" - even the cholla, despite how often they get stuck in his face. 😂 He has no fear of the thorns. He's giving Gianni Miquini in this picture. 😂❤️

I have some interesting blooms, which I wasn't really expecting. The Mammillaria are going off, as usual, but these orange and yellow flowers are super neat.

Three hours was enough of awakeness.

Three hours was enough of awakeness. I'm still drowsy from my meds and I feel kind of crappy, so I'm going back to bed.

I have taken Ibuprofen, so hopefully it'll keep my head ok-ish. I didn't want to take my migraine meds because I need to work tomorrow and it'll have me drowsy and brain-foggy. If I have to take my migraine meds, I will probably need to call out, so paws crossed the Ibuprofen works.

Goodnight, friends. ❤️

I don't know what happened, but...

I don't know what happened, but last night I started feeling TERRIBLE. I felt like I had a migraine, but also a fever. I took my migraine meds and went to bed. Unfortunately, that didn't help.

I laid in bed basically using breathing techniques to distract myself from the pain and the nausea. Eventually, I started throwing up. Usually if I just have a migraine, I throw up once and then sleep it off. But last night it happened several times.

I don't know if what we DoorDashed yesterday didn't sit well on my stomach or what, but I didn't stop throwing up until this morning when it was ALL GONE.

Shaun, despite being sick himself, came to check on me this morning. (We sleep separately when one of us is sick.) He brought me water and Zofran, but I couldn't take Zofran with migraine meds, which I still felt I needed, so I just sipped water. I barely got any down when I had to ask him to hand me the trashcan to throw up.

Unfortunately, I heaved so hard I peed a little, which was no good because I was still sitting in my bed. Hugging the trashcan, I started making my way to the bathroom when I heaved again and peed a little in floor. Made it to the toilet and proceeded to make all kinds of pretty sounds. I couldn't even get the door shut. I'm not one of those "pee with the door open" people, but I guess I was this morning.

While all of that was going on, Shaun started stripping and cleaning and making the bed. I eventually finished puking, cleaned myself and the floor up, and laid back down. Took another migraine pill and kept it down. I'm basically just now awake from sleeping that off.

I don't feel wonderful, but I don't feel ANYWHERE near as bad as I did, thank goodness.

I can't remember the last time I felt that bad. Maybe when we still lived in Talladega and I had a bad migraine and couldn't get out of the floor and also puked so hard I peed myself. But I still feel like this was worse because it drug out all night.

Anyway. It doesn't matter. I'm here. I have the best husband who still takes care of me even when he feels bad. I'm heading down to see how he feels and if there's anything I can do to help him now that I might be a functional person.

I sincerely hope y'all have had a better weekend than we did. ❤️ It was a rough one.
