I got too excited last night. I had posted about my app in a nail polish group and the response was very positive. So I got a migraine about it. 😂😂😂😭😭😭

I went up to go to bed, in pain and nauseated, and my little old boyfriend, Scar, had thrown up and had diarrhea 3 times in my room. It was awful.

I cleaned the mess while trying not to contribute to it myself, then fell asleep with the windows open and the fan on high in this cold weather (in an attempt to clear the air). I also slept all night with the light on because I couldn't bother to move.

I'm finally normalizing a little bit now.

I gotta add some finishing touches on the app and hope I don't crap out again.

It would be super cool if I could just be happy without having a letdown migraine. 🫠

I'm planning to release my app on February 1st.

I'm planning to release my app on February 1st.  I could puke, I'm so excited.

I have this amazing discovery page where you can search by color.  You can also search for dupes of your favorite polishes.

I really don't know what to do with myself (besides stay busy and work on the finishing touches).

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Listen to this little old lady snore.

Listen to this little old lady snore. Watch her little cheek start puffing out. OMG, she's so cute!

I can tell she's getting up there in age, too. Ever since I busted out the heat blanket, she doesn't get up for nightly treats; she just waits for me to bring them to her. 😂 Relatable, honestly. My blankets > snacks any day.

Shaun sprinkles catnip in the cat wheel sometimes.

Shaun sprinkles catnip in the cat wheel sometimes. Most of the cats will roll around on it, at least.

Toebean is the only one who runs. He just came back from a jaunt and is Gargoyling with a bunch of catnip on his back. 😂

I guess I'm supposed to pet this cat, but it's just going to make a giant mess. 😆

At least Shaun can't fuss too much, since he's the main cause of it. 😂😂😂

Today has been rough.

Today has been rough.

I had my yearly boob-smashing and got super sick after. Throw up sick.

I don't know if it was the anxiety because of how much it hurt last time, the pain this time, sensory overload from my skin being stretched (in general, I don't like to be touched or petted or massaged, so PULLING my skin is extra terrible), or what, but my whole body was in revolt afterwards. I was heaving the whole way home.

The technician was super nice and even (in a non-creepy way) complimented my tatas; when going over my medical info she asked if I'd lost weight since my last visit on purpose, and when I said yes, she said I retained my shape well, so that was nice. But overall, it was a terrible experience, again. Possibly exacerbated by being on my period.

I'd still rather have a pap smear or even an IUD inserted. For some reason, those procedures are far more tolerable to me. They may be more painful, but less awful, somehow. Ugh.

I've struggled with Executive Dysfunction all day.

I've struggled with Executive Dysfunction all day. I had plans and plenty of things that needed doing. All I've done was go to class, which thankfully had a low barrier to get started since I just had to join a virtual conversation from the comfort of my couch.

That's something, I guess.

I wish I knew how to get a handle on this on my 'Nope.' days.

🤦🏻 Bear.

🤦🏻 Bear.

It's been unusually quiet for the last few hours.

Shaun picked up groceries earlier, and APPARENTLY, Bear slipped into the garage unnoticed while Shaun was bringing them in.

Shaun started looking for him and we JUST found him. He was sleeping by the door. Didn't scratch/knock. Didn't bark. Just got trapped alone and thought "I guess I'll take a nap." 😂😂😂 (Definitely my son in that regard. 😆) 

That dog is so unbothered.

☝🏻 UNLESS it's the ice dispenser. Fuck that, always and forever, still. 😂

A little-known hobby of our precious Bear...

A little-known hobby of our precious Bear is that he dabbles in Interior Design. He loves bringing a natural look indoors for that ultimate blend of comfort and cozy. He ethically sources his leaves from the yard by gently kicking and rubbing the bushes, and collecting whatever drops with his tail and buttstache.

He has excellent taste in wood, carrying in only the finest chunks of Piñion Pine. It brings a fabulous, earthy smell to the home and completes the final look.

My boyfriend is showing his old age, and not just with this low-angle, bad-quality selfie. 😂

I love this brat so much. But I know our time together is winding down. I gotta remember every day to spoil him.

I finished my first UI/UX class a few minutes ago.

I don't think I told y'all I signed up for another DeepDive, but I did. This one is 3 days/week until May.

I guess if I'm trying to have my own web design business, I will need to be good at design.

One of my beta testers...

One of my beta testers told me that my app is already better than Lacquergram.

😳😳😳

I could literally cry.

I'm probably gonna. 😂

Happy tears, at least. 😁😁😁

Just kidding. It was meant for the top left corner, and I'll get it wrangled over to there. That accidental placement just gave me a chuckle. 😂

Things are really coming along. I hope to have my first couple of Brand Pages being tested by Friday.

Also, I got my EIN today.

Exciting times!

I watered some plants today.

I watered some plants today. They were thirsty. It's not gotten cold enough for them to sleep, I don't think.

I've missed them. I probably need to spend more time in the greenhouse.

The couch is feisty this morning. 😂😂😂

Sneaky Peek...

Sneaky Peek of some profile features for the app I'm trying to start Beta Testing today. I'm so excited! 😁😁😁

Polish Collectors, this is for us! ❤️❤️❤️

Today is a big day! I'm super excited!

Today is a big day! I'm super excited!

I had an interview for a position that I really want, and it seemed to go well.

I've been building a PWA that I've wanted to build for years - the DeepDive Bootcamp gave me the tools to make it happen. I'm so happy I could cry! If all goes as planned, I'll start beta testing on Friday.

And finally, I can't believe the support I've gotten from everyone at Central New Mexico Community College, CNM Ingenuity. I reached out to an advisor for help with registering a LLC, and he got on a call and walked me through it. I got this in my email today! BluPrint Designs is the name I'll be working under developing websites.

I can't believe the moves I'm making. I am so grateful for the support of everyone I've met at the CNM Web Development DeepDive Bootcamp. I'm doing things I've only ever dreamed of doing. I can't believe this is real life.

The support from CNM is unreal.

The support from CNM is unreal.

I just registered BluPrint Designs as a web/application development LLC.

I was so lost, but I reached out to one of the amazing advisors from the school, and we got on a call and he walked me through it.

I'm now just waiting to see if my business license is approved.

I'm planning to start beta testing my very first app on Friday. 🤞🏻

This all feels so unreal.

My teeth have been hurting for about 3 weeks.

My teeth have been hurting for about 3 weeks. They are getting progressively more sensitive. It's hurts to talk, eat, drink, and brush them. It's not a single bad tooth; it's every tooth at once.

That's another possible symptom of peri. Low Estrogen is bad for your bones.

I am on HRT and still struggling not to fall apart. I guess I'm going to talk to my doctor this week.

All I've done for the last week and a half...

All I've done for the last week and a half is eat, sleep, and work on my app. It's literally been years in the making, but taking the Web Dev bootcamp gave me everything I needed to ACTUALLY bring it to life.

My sleep schedule is messed ALL THE WAY UP. My days are a blur.

I thought it was Tuesday all day yesterday; it was Saturday. My sense of time has never been so consistently off as it has this past week.

But I will (hopefully) not have a ton of future free time to make this dream/goal come true. I have an interview Wednesday. I feel optimistic.

Until something pressing pulls me away, I'm throwing myself into building something I've wanted to build for years. I hope I can reveal it soon.

❤️❤️❤️

What can make me willingly give up sleep?

What can make me willingly give up sleep?

Apparently, building an app that I want built.

I've been working late into the night, and my brain just wakes me up with ideas and I can't go back to sleep.

I have literally never experienced anything like this. If you know me, then you know I LOVE my sleep and I LOVE my bed.

This is WILD. 👀

Good morning, I guess. 😂
