TGIF! 😃

TGIF!  😃

Today has turned out pretty good.  I am coughing less and feel much less run down - so YAY!  Maybe I can get my house back to normal this weekend.  🙂

So there was a shelf at Target that I wanted for my room really bad... but all week they only had the display and would not sell it to me.  They kept telling me to come back.  I went Monday and Wednesday and finally they gave me the sku # and told me to call before showing up today.  So, I did.  And they said they didn't have it still.  I went anyway to get a shelf of the same build but in a different color (because it is time to get things in order - color be damned), and they DID have the one I wanted.  So WTF, Target?

I forgave them, though, because they are having a clearance on their nail polish.  I picked up some stuff that I like but wouldn't pay full price for.  I can't be mad after that.  😃

NOT ONLY THAT, but my friend Shauna surprised me with some nail goodies this past weekend, AND Ashton sent me a stash which I got in the mail today.  I picked out most of what Ashton sent, but she threw in a couple of surprise ones, so WOOHOO.  😃  I am very excited about my first Julep.  What a weird color, but I am all about it.  😃  Of course I put it on one of my nails right away.  I think it actually looks nice with my skin.  How awesome!  And it kind of smells like bananas.  Did you notice that?  😂

Anyway I guess I'm off to put up my new shelf and figure out my house situation.  I hope I get to see Shauna this weekend.  She wouldn't judge me for having stuff everywhere, but I really would prefer to have it cleaned up before anyone sees it.  I can't get to my ovens or dishwasher right now.  It's redonk.  😂

Happy Friday, peeps!

I have not a lot to say.

I have not a lot to say.  This is like, all of it:

I am ready for the weekend.  HOLY DAMN - I just want to rest.

My house is still a wreck.  I haven't had the energy to finish moving back into my room.

My porch is also a wreck because there is stuff out there that needs to go to the garage.  I don't have time to move it in the mornings and it's dark when I get home.  I might not have such a restful weekend after all.  🙁

I am still coughing and my head hurts terribly when I do it.  Other than that I feel ok.  No more nausea today.

I've been watching Cheers on Netflix and I like it a lot.  I just started season 4.

My burns are peeling and itching.  Bet you people thought I was being a weenie when I said I scalded my lap with coffee.  But I was for realz.

Later, peeps.  I am heading to the couch for another night.  Maybe by this weekend I can sleep in my bed again.  Right now I can't lay down and breathe at the same time.  Yuck.

Dang, y'all.

Dang, y'all.  I got home and felt ok-ish aside from this persistent cough.  But it has somehow turned into nausea.  Blegh.  It must either be from sinus drainage or from the cough syrup I took.  I have no idea which, but I wish it would stop.  🙁

I sat down thinking I should do my nails since it's been like, 2 weeks.  So I started looking... and then... just nope.  I'd been patching two broken ones up for about a week and then I broke another one into the quick on the van I rented over the weekend to move my bed.  THEN when I got home today Chupa broke another one off down to the quick.  So rather than patch and paint them I just cut them off.  ALL GONE.  I have some serious NUBS right now.

So with THAT fun thwarted I decided to do something fun AND productive:  I cleaned my roach bin.  When I opened it up I thought "Oh shit, they're all dead!"  Thankfully, they weren't.  I remembered that I hadn't hooked their heater back up since moving everything around the other day so they were all just being still and quiet.  I am pretty sure they can survive AL weather, but they are tropical so I guess the winter isn't much fun without a heater.  On that note - I still have a bajillion so if anyone wants some bugs let me know.  My car seems to be working for the moment so I can meet you somewhere or just bring them by.  I don't feel super great today, but maybe by the weekend I'll be back to normal(ish).  I hope!

All of my other dogs will tear up anything you give them, but...

All of my other dogs will tear up anything you give them, but Chupa will happily walk around squeaking her squeaky toys rather than ripping them to shreds.  I can sort of tell what kind of mood she's in by how furiously she is squeaking them.  It's especially hilarious when she's mad.  😃

I worked almost a full day today.

I worked almost a full day today.  I was able to stay awake so that is clearly improvement.

My throat hurts and itches.  I'm still coughing.  My nose is raw and I'm still blowing the holy hell out of it.  I am tired and a bit achy, but nothing like yesterday.  THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT.

My house is still a wreck from taking everything out of my room over the weekend.  I have not managed to put it all back yet.  As much as I want to work on it I just don't have the energy to.

I'm just sitting here - hanging out with the Internet and the Chupacabra.  She is currently giving me a back massage.  I think I'm gonna take a shower and put on some comfy pj's and just... go sit some more.  Maybe I could manage to paint my nails.  I haven't done that in ages.  😕

I felt bad yesterday so I left work early.

I felt bad yesterday so I left work early.  I've been asleep since 4 yesterday afternoon.  I don't even have a sleep hangover so I must have NEEDED it.  I don't feel as crappy as I did  yesterday, but I am still not great.  Gonna try this whole "going to work" thing again.  Wish me luck.

Just hung some baskets on my loft...

Just hung some baskets on my loft so I can have all the stuffs I want near me when I sleep.  Shaun might be super happy about that, too, as he gets annoyed when he stays over and finds my stash of stuff under my pillow.  He's like "HOW DO YOU SLEEP WITH ALL OF THIS STUFF?!" and then I'm like "I NEED IT!"  😂  Nothing major, but I always have some tissue, lip balm, cuticle cream, and of course, my cell near me.  That's pretty normal, right?

It just occurred to me that it's probably not so normal.  I bet most people use night stands, but I never had room for one so I improvised.  Huh.  Well... regardless, now I have baskets.  😛
