I had a good day, but I'm sleepy and ready for bed. I've tried to go to bed like, twice already but keep having to get up. Once because my little old man peed his bed, and most recently because the dryer just ruined one of my jackets (and likely itself) by eating a zipper. It's great to be jolted out of almost sleep by a grinding metal sound. 😒

I'm back in bed again. Paws crossed I don't have to get up again until morning.

If this ain't me. 😂😂😂

If this ain't me. 😂😂😂 I will help every time, but you might get an ear full.

I know nobody asked, but...

I know nobody asked, but I have seen a lot of my friends who wear gels / acrylics post about being unhappy with their nails since salons are closed.  I have tips (the advice kind) if anyone is interested in growing out / taking care of their natural nails.

1)  Take prenatal vitamins for growth.  I don't care that I haven't been pregnant in 20 years - I've been taking prenatals for as long as I can remember.  I have tried biotin / hair & nail / whatever supplements and vitamins over the years and none of them give me the growth I get with prenatals, so that is what I take.

2)  If you have brittle / peeling nails, then there are two ways to attack that:  From the inside and from the outside.

2a)  From the inside:  Take coconut oil pills.  I don't know the science behind it - I just know that I have A LOT LESS peeling when I take it.

2b)  From the outside:  Cuticle oil / balm.  Any kind is better than nothing, but the best I've ever used has been from Bliss Kiss.  I can have a peeling nail and put that oil on, and it's almost like it seals it back together.  Just get in the habit of moisturizing your nails / cuticles a few times a day and that will help a lot.

2c)  If you file your nails, it's ok to take off length with a coarse file, but use something far less course afterwards for finishing to help prevent peeling.

Obviously, since I am not a doctor you should do your own research regarding what vitamins / supplements are ok for you to take, but this is what has worked for me.  I go through periods of being really on top of my nail care and then times where I don't bother.  I can tell a huge difference when I'm doing all of the things I've listed above.

If anyone has anything to add or ask I'm up for chatting!  Be well, friends!  ❤

Three minutes of Nom walking.

Three minutes of Nom walking. I stopped recording so I could pick him up with two hands. I don't like getting him with one; I would hate to drop him. Sometimes he kicks and wigs out wanting down. 😒

Imagine doing this for 30 minutes. 😂😂😂

I think the pollen makes his face itch. He always stops wiping it when we come back in.

Me: Gets in bed, turns off light, gets comfy

Me:  Gets in bed, turns off light, gets comfy

Booka (after eating, drinking, and going outside):  barks repeatedly for no reason that I can discern

Me:  ignores him because he is fine

Booka:  snatches some papers out of my shelf, throws them down, goes to bed

Me:  🧐 Allllrighty, then. 🤨😂😂😂

I love that sassy child so much. 😂😂😂

Nom was bulldozing the walls today.

Nom was bulldozing the walls today. I had to take him for a walk outside. I foresee many tortoise walks in my near future. 😂😂😂
