Been running ALL day. So tired.

Been running ALL day. So tired. I'm parked on the couch and not moving until I get up the energy to shower. Then I am going to shower and go to bed. LOL

I made an 82 on the re-take of that Cal test I bombed. So that's a lot better than a 66. I can still try it one more time, but I don't know if I want to, honestly.

On the new test that I felt so great about - I made an 80. 😕 I was pretty bummed out about that, but it's ok. Even if I don't re-take any other tests my average in the class is a 93. I'll be happy as long as it's an A. 😁 The higher the better, of course, but I could live with this.

I hope you all had a nice Halloween. I'm not so big into holidays, but I did wear my "electrocuted dog" shirt, as my mom calls it. Frankenweenie, y'all. I'm sort-of participating. 😜

I registered for two of my classes.

I registered for two of my classes.  I got Physics and Cal II.  CIS 201 is pending instructor approval, whatever that means.  I will ask about that today.  Yeah, I know that MIGHT be class over-load.  Worst-case scenario - I drop one.  Best case - I ace them all.  I see no harm in trying!

I am almost 100% sure that I'm going to major in Mathematics and Minor in Computer Science at this point.  Majoring in Mathematics opens up a LOT of different doors (engineering, business [yuck], teaching, and even tech fields).  I have a meeting with Ms. Wheeler tomorrow (who has a PhD in Mathematics) to discuss it further.  I'm pretty excited.

Anyway.  Doesn't feel like we're getting much of a Halloween this year.  We didn't do anything over the weekend.  Shadow didn't ask to go Trick-or-Treating.  I was happy to sit in my house as much as I could.  LOL  Maybe spooky dinner at mom's tonight will make it right.  😃

For my own peace of mind...

For my own peace of mind I just ordered a surveillance camera.  It will be here and installed on Monday.

I'm super excited.  I worry about things when I am not home anyway, so I think this will help me to calm down.

It will send images and videos wirelessly to my phone and I will able to adjust the camera to see what's going on from where ever I am.

Have I ever mentioned how much I freaking LOVE technology?!  Because I do!  ❤❤❤

Current Mood: Trying to keep myself from spiraling downward.

Current Mood:  Trying to keep myself from spiraling downward.

Yesterday morning one of our parakeets suddenly didn't look so great.  He seemed fine the day before, but yesterday morning he was puffy and tired-looking when we got up.  He was dead within the hour.  I don't know what happened.  Rest in Peace, Sapphire. 🙁

Then that thing with the fence happened.  There is some damage to be dealt with, but it could have been much worse.  Shaun stood it back up last night.  Thankfully, Faith and Nappy don't seem to look for places to get out of the fence, so that's a relief.  I don't feel like I have to worry about them too much before it's repaired properly this weekend.

This morning as I was feeding Koopa I decided to look for Peach.  Sometimes those little horned lizards bury themselves for days, so I wasn't immediately concerned that I hadn't seen her in a day or two.  Well, I carefully dug and dug in all of the places where they usually hide and I didn't find her.  I moved the water dish... and she was there.  Dead.  I don't know if she burrowed under and couldn't get out, or if she was sick and hid away to die.  She also seemed to be doing fine previous to this.  Rest in Peace, little lizard.  I will miss you.  🙁

So my stomach is upset and I don't feel so great.  Could be my meds.  Or it could be stress.  But I'm trying to get myself together and get to work because missing out on money isn't going to help anything at all.

Wish me luck.  I'm really glad it's the weekend.  😕

Wow. The cops just knocked on my door.

Wow.  The cops just knocked on my door.

APPARENTLY some guy just tried to run from them and bounced off my fence.  He broke it so that sucks, but they were able to tackle and get him because it slowed him down.

So... ok, then.  LOL

Yay, neighborhood.  😕

I have felt craptacular for most of this day.

I have felt craptacular for most of this day. Currently hoping that my Excedrin Migraine kicks in before I hit full-on migraine status.

Also... I really really think I might major in mathematics. I can minor in computer science. I have wayyy more enthusiasm for math than I ever imagined. Computer jobs are out there for math majors, as well. I don't really think it will be a limitation.

Also also... I am CONSIDERING slowing down with school a little. I feel like my whole life is work, school, and stress. Even though I see Shaun, Shadow, and the ani-pals with my eyeballs... I miss them. I feel like I'm always working so hard that I can't even connect with my family anymore. It's really not good. On the other hand I'm so sick of being broke and living this way that I want to hurry up and get done with school so I can get on with my life.

I guess I have some decisions to make. If anyone feels like weighing in, feel free. I feel like I don't know what to do anymore. 😕

Shadow made some blueberry muffins...

Shadow made some blueberry muffins in his Chemistry of Foods class the other day.  He brought 2 home for me.  They are really good!  I ate one for breakfast yesterday cold.  I warmed up the one I'm eating now.  All I can say is:

This kid better watch it or I'm going to put him on chef duty.  LMAO
