Look at this goblin I found at Lowe's. It's got a heart and a bird finger. 😂 It had to come home with me.

We thought he was gonna throw the coaster on the floor, but he fell asleep instead. Look at him! ❤️

I've had this bruise for a few days.

I've had this bruise for a few days. I just noticed that it looks like a heart.

Bear was playing the other day and ran up to me and bumped me there with one of his bottom teeth. I know he doesn't mean to do that; it's just because of the shape of his face. He also bruises my lips when he gives me kisses sometimes. It depends on how excited he is in the moment.

I could never be upset by his enthusiastic lovings or his accidental bumps. He's a sweet boy just doing his best. ❤️

I was watching a show...

I was watching a show with Shaun and there was a contest to identify a photo as being of an alligator or a crocodile. It didn't look like an alligator to me, so I said crocodile. I was right.

That's a skill I didn't know I had. Guess I'll be adding that to my resume. 😂

I feel like I'm in an anxiety-induced depressive spiral...

I feel like I'm in an anxiety-induced depressive spiral. I'm having trouble doing anything productive.

Look at the flowers, though. It's the pink one's first time!

I don't know why these randomly decide to crest, but they're definitely never dull. 😂

So many buds!

A few buds and a bloom.

I was surprised to see these beauties today. 😊

I've had this cactus for YEARS and she's finally gonna bloom!

My little conjoined twin cactus has some buds.

I think this one is enjoying the shadier spot.

Anacampseros flower!

Orange blooms in front of a Prickly Pear.

I can't believe this one bloomed again ALREADY.

Caitlin, she's putting on new growth!

This little weirdo has bloomed again. ❤️

I didn't really feel like talking about it on Friday...

I didn't really feel like talking about it on Friday and I don't even now, but I'm not a secretive person, so:

I was laid off at the end of last week.

It's a bummer because I had no idea it was coming. I was billing, I was meeting my goals, and I thought I was doing well. One consolation is that it took my coworkers by surprise, too. At least I wasn't doing a bad job with everyone but me knowing that I'm next.

I'm pretty sure it's just an economy thing, but it still hurt.

Anyway, I'll be ok. I have my Math and CS degrees, I have marketable skills, and I usually figure things out. So I'm not in panic mode, but putting myself out there again is giving me a bit of anxiety. I think that's normal.

If y'all know anyone looking for a ServiceNow dev, send me their way. ❤️
