I just took my last Literature quiz.

I just took my last Literature quiz.  Before the final I have a 98.6 in there.  Woohoo.  I have a study guide for the final, so I'm not gonna sweat that class too hard.

In Calculus, even with that 67 and the 56 I made on Wednesday I have an 86.4.  We have one more exam (not counting the final) in there, plus he's letting us re-take a couple of exams.  So that means I have a chance to pull those grades up and come out with an A.  I am going to work hard and try my best to do it.  I am going to be so disappointed in myself if I come out with a B.  😕

Backpack, books, and parking decal.

Backpack, books, and parking decal. I sure hope I'm not sick to death of math after I get done with Calculus. 😳

I'm about to take these off; I've been wearing them for probably a week.

I'm about to take these off; I've been wearing them for probably a week.  I've been meaning to post, but I've been too crazy to bother.  For anyone who follows me on Instagram @Polish_ALL_TheThings you might have noticed that I still haven't even posted my last mani there.  Maybe I will do it this weekend, but no promises.

I haven't felt super great and so therefore I'm not feeling creative, so this is what it is.  However, the special thing about this paint job (to me) is the polish.  It is one I've wanted since August of 2014.  It's an indie polish, so it was only made for a short time.  I got it in a destash and I am so happy.  The color is "Refresh...ing" by Colors By Llarowe.

Side note about my nails:  I REALLY REALLY like the way this shape looks and despite my arthritis / grip problems the shape has proven to hold up on me better than any other so far.  But I think I might have to round the points just a touch, or either start sleeping in gloves.  I have woken up 3 times within recent memory because I was being stabbed BY MY OWN SELF.  🤣🤣🤣  Twice in the face and once on my side if I'm keeping score.  I haven't left any marks, but they are definitely sharp enough for it to hurt.  They feel AH-MAZING when I have an itch, though.  🤤

Anyway.  I'm off to paint my nails.  I don't have the brainpower currently to do Calculus and I've done enough Literature for one day.  I'm gonna chill tonight.  I think it is necessary.

❤❤❤


I didn't sleep enough.

I didn't sleep enough. Some creature hit the top of my windshield while I was driving. Not sure what it was; I only heard it. ☹️

Well, I was NOT cool today.

Well, I was NOT cool today. I left the house with barely any gas in my car, left my money at home, bombed the test, and cried. 😭😭😭

I feel like I am juggling SO. MANY. THINGS. 😳

I feel like I am juggling SO. MANY. THINGS.  😳

My day so far:
  • Medicated 3/4 of my dogs (as I do daily) because they are old.  Some days go smoother than others.  Today wasn't horrible.
  • Made Shadow help me feed everyone.  He's so good and I'm so glad to have him home right now.  He is a big help.
  • Sat petrified, feeling overwhelmed, thinking of what I should do next.
  • Called UAB because (yay), I got my approval letter in the mail on Monday, but I'm not "in their system" to make an appointment (boo), so 3 phone calls later and I am STILL waiting to know what's going on.
  • Sat petrified, feeling overwhelmed, thinking of what I should do next.  Wondered for the 98257358165th time if all of this was REALLY going to be worth it one day.
  • Checked Blackboard.  My last Cal grade was upped from a 92 to a 93.  I do not know why, but I am not complaining.
  •  There is a breakdown for the final exam now available, so I need to work on a study guide.  Also, I still have a little more literature to go before I'm done with this week's assignments.
  • Sat petrified, feeling overwhelmed, thinking of what I should do next.  Looked around the room.
  • Dealt with Amazon returns because a seller sent me bad / expired / counterfeit Seresto collars.  I can't afford to be out $150 for flea medication that doesn't work, so yeah.  They are allowing me to return the collars for a refund, thank goodness.  Speaking of money...
  • Still trying to decide if I should borrow money from Shaun now for bills, or hope that if I wait until I'm paid on Friday that I don't get any late fees.
  • Checked my email because I knew I must be missing something.  Yep, a message from Disability Support Services.
  • Communicated with DSS from JSU in case I'm not cool by the time my classes start.  I've got to get documentation from a doctor about my Psoriatic problems.  They want to meet before classes start, so hopefully I can get that and my Student ID knocked out on the same day.  I asked to know what kind of documentation I need, and told them a day I'd be free to do things.  I'm waiting to hear back.
  • Started a shopping list
  • Looked around the room some more.  Felt overwhelmed.  Damned the recycling that is piling up and needs to be carried to the recycling bins.  (I can't stand clutter.)  Came to social media to get distracted so I could calm down.  Got bored and posted this status.  It somehow feels like a stress relief to write down the things I've done.  Terribly sorry if it's boring; keep scrolling if you want.  I'm just trying to survive.
Still to do:
  • Clean my litter boxes
  • Drop off the recycling
  • Make Shadow an eye appointment (time for a check-up; he's fine)
  • Put away my laundry
  • Prepare for the Calculus test that is tonight
Tomorrow I go to the final exam review for literature, then Job #1, then Job # 2, back to back to back.  Maybe I can do my last literature assignment after I get home, then have the time that I'm not working on Friday, plus the weekend, to get a my head wrapped around what is going to be on the Calculus final.

I have to get up.  I think I've done most of the little things that were nagging at me today.  Maybe that freed up some brain space so that I can concentrate on bigger things.  I sure hope so.  I also hope that all of my friends and family are having a nice week.  As for me, I'm hanging in there.  ❤
