OUT OF 75!!!!!

It's a solid 92!  😃😃😃

Even better, he's going to let us re-take it if we want to.  The perfectionist in me CANNOT pass that up!

Day.
Is.
Made.

Now if I could stop feeling like turds, that would be great.

I feel like a pile of turds today.

I feel like a pile of turds today.  Woke up, took Shadow to school, went back to sleep instead of going to Psychology class.  Took myself to work for a few hours, now I'm here getting ready for Calculus.  I will only miss that class if I'm on my deathbed.  LOL

Hopefully I get to find out how I did on my test.  More motivation to go.  🙂

Yesterday was Shaun's birthday.

Yesterday was Shaun's birthday.  He was sick.  I was getting sick.  I was battling snot while trying to take my Calculus test.  LOL

Today, we are both sicker.  Woo.

I just took some Zyrtec.  Hopefully it helps.  I'm about to clean my litter boxes and shower.  Maybe I'll have some soup after that and call it a night.  Classes are in full swing and I feel so run down.  I wish there was a "Pause" button on life sometimes.

I hope y'all are doing well - or at least better than I am.  ❤

Just finished my first Calculus test.

Just finished my first Calculus test. I feel like it went ok, but I've been wrong before. Hopefully, we'll know by Wednesday. That is the plan.

Send all the good math vibes to me, PLEASE.

Zaboo went home today!

Zaboo went home today!  It's a day early, but my sinuses aren't complaining!  Happy life, kiddo!  ❤

Heading to Gadsden again.  I hope I don't find anyone else on the way home.  LOL

Hopefully this post isn't made so early that no one sees it.

Hopefully this post isn't made so early that no one sees it.  I have a question about Celexa.

So I'm still on half a pill and that's going ok.  I switched to taking it in the morning and I'm not yet sure if I'm sleeping any better (I'm still having to take Melatonin to sleep) (I've only been taking Celexa in the morning for a couple of days now, but I'm getting sinus crap so that's making it hard to sleep, so I just don't know yet), but it's not making me drowsy to take it in the day, so I'll keep doing that.

I was thinking about trying my full dose this coming weekend, but only because that is what the doctor prescribed.  I'm feeling pretty ok, overall.  So I'm not sure that I should take more.  I will try to call again this week for the doctor's opinion.  I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone, but I haven't tried hard.  School started, so my focus shifted.

Edited:  I had a question about jaw clenching on this medication.  I wrongly assumed that clenching your jaw / teeth would be too absurd to be a side effect, but Google says otherwise.  It is apparently common on SSRI's.

Main thing is:  How do I stop it?  I know that most of you say the side effects will fade.  I'm really hoping this one does soon.

I'm behind on posting - I actually did these before classes started last week!

I'm behind on posting - I actually did these before classes started last week!  They didn't last long, so I didn't get any better photos, unfortunately.  Let me tell you about them.

So this is a new polish - I think it is thermal, but it's nothing aside from hot here, so I never saw it change.  I do wash my hands (often, actually), but I think that I was so fixated on school starting that I didn't pay much attention to them while they were on.

So I'm digging the pink - it's a great shade.  The rainbow shards you see, unfortunately, were done with nail foils.  Beautiful, finicky nail foils.  LOL  I tried several different topcoats to see which wouldn't dull the effect, but only the crappy water-based one worked and that's just not enough to keep them on for long.  🙁

I threw a thin, metal unicorn on there because obviously rainbows and unicorns and pink are a winning combo.  I really loved the way these looked, but alas, they were chipping off by the next day.  I picked at them all week because nerves (terrible, horrible thing to do to your nails, btw), then FINALLY took off the remaining shards last night.  Now my nails are just naked and I have a Calculus test tomorrow, so they will remain bare for now.  🙁

I'm hoping this semester allows me at least SOME time to play with my nail art goodies, but that remains to be seen.  If I do manage to have time to paint, y'all will be the first to know!  🙂
