Home from the first day of class. It went well. But I'm exhausted and have homework.

Also, Google said it would take me 36 minutes to get to class. I left with an hour to get there, and was still 5 minutes late. 😬 I guess I will leave even earlier next time.

Bear just got paid $103 for going viral. 😂

I guess he's slowly, but surely paying us back for his knees. 😂😂😂

Toebean makes some serious biscuits after Bear goes to bed. He's kneading through this blanket and my clothes and I still feel it. Some of the cats don't mind if we trim their claws, but he has strong opinions about it.

If I don't pay enough attention to him before he settles down to cuddle, he grabs my skin (arms and/or hands) with claws and demands to be petted.

I can't complain too much, though. I do value direct communication. 😂

There are 9 people in the Web Development boot camp. Five of us are women!

This is the first time I've ever seen us outnumber guys in a STEM class.

Shaun is doing his best.

These are the first 2 sets I wanted to sell, but the mood nails are a mess. That pigment would be better suited to nail art rather than a whole set. It peels and flakes easily, and I can't sell that to anyone. They do look amazing, though. There will definitely be new sets featuring it encapsulated in gel so it won't budge. 😉

I found out that my shipping cards and sizing kits should arrive Monday, so I'm super excited about that. I've got a few friends who want a sizing kit, so I should be able to mail those out on Tuesday. I'm getting ready to send shape and length choices over to those who have previously inquired. I might need to add some measurements to the charts, though, so expect that later tonight. I'm trying my best to make sure this is an easy process.

I'm super thankful to everyone who has encouraged me along the way. If y'all scroll back about 12 years, the difference between where I started and where I am now is night and day. ❤️❤️❤️
