I haven't done nail art in a very long time...

I haven't done nail art in a very long time, and I wouldn't really count this as art, either. I just put on my structure gel for strength as usual, then plopped down the water slide decals I made.

I made these for the work event I attended. I didn't really know what to expect, but I had a great time. I met so many of my coworkers and it was so crazy to finally see everyone in 3D. I interact with so many people on Slack, many of who I felt super connected to, and meeting in person just took that to the next level. I definitely came away from the event feeling energized about work and more secure in my work relationships. I also met a ton of cool people that I didn't know already.

I can't go without saying that it was amazing seeing my friends from GCU. It was hard being in Cincinnati for those 5 months away from my family, but we had a wonderful cohort and mentorship and we learned so much and grew together. It was such a great feeling seeing those familiar faces.

Anyway, I didn't want to let the week end without shouting out my wonderful work place for planning, executing, and treating us to this get-together. I love working remotely, being here with the family and the pets, but I do think I needed this. I'm looking forward to the next one already! 💙


I woke up feeling rough.

I woke up feeling rough. I have a tension headache from nightmares and it's trying hard to be a migraine. I've taken meds and now I'm having a drink (Vanilla Coconut Dr. Pepper).

It's Friday. Hopefully, I can just get through the work day.

Bear just woke up howling.

Bear just woke up howling. We've never heard him howl before.

I checked on him and he seems ok. I hope he wasn't having nightmares.

Poor buddy. He's resting peacefully again, so maybe it was just a one-off, weird thing.

Bear do what Bear do. 🤷🏻

Look at this sleeping Toebean.

Look at this sleeping Toebean. I want to eat him up! So precious. ❤️

Here are a few of my favorite photos...

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. I took over 100, so I tried really hard to put up a reasonable amount. 😂

The last photo is one of my favorites. I didn't want to go through and have to pick my top 10 again to put it more visible, so just go look at it. 😂❤️
