I am not even ashamed to admit...

I am not even ashamed to admit that today I spent like $20 on sweat pants at Wal-Mart.  I bought 6 pairs - all in different colors.  They were on clearance for $3.  IN PETITE size.  I tried a pair on to make sure they weren't wonky and they weren't.  I'm probably wayyy more excited about this than I should be.  😂

I also got some Spin Pins for my girl hair since it's still on my head.  When I put my hair up in a bun (or 2 smaller buns), I use approximately 19573045 bobby pins and they usually start sliding back out halfway through the day.  I can do the "bun with a stick" thing, but I found that I have re-do that one every other hour or so.  Spin Pins, though, are holding my shit in place.  I'm super happy about those, too.

To be honest, though - those two things have been the highlight of my week.  I have felt like complete and utter shit for several days.  Makes me kind of grateful for the weather and having school and work cancelled.  I am going to the doctor in the morning.  I have been nauseated in a big way and that's no good.  The longer I'm on my new medicine the better my hands feel / work and the clearer my skin gets, but the sicker my stomach gets, too.

I've read that folic acid will help with that and that the doctor can also prescribe me some anti-nausea medication so I'm going to ask him about those things.  And if that won't work I can start stabbing the medicine into my leg.  I'm not super excited about that option... I guess I'm getting squeamish in my old age, but I'll do it rather than be so barfy that I'm not functional.

Anyway.  That's been my week.  I hope everyone else has been staying warm and doing well.  ❤

She hopped up right after I snapped this.

She hopped up right after I snapped this. I could see it on her face: "NOPE."

I don't know why she won't just snuggle the shell-kid. 😂 Poor rejected Tort Baby.


I am quite surprised to see that Tort Baby wants out...

I am quite surprised to see that Tort Baby wants out despite how cold it is. He's busy walking around. Such a weirdy. 😂

Can anyone in Saks tell me what the roads are doing?

Can anyone in Saks tell me what the roads are doing?  I'm at work in Oxford.  Can't tell if I need to leave now or if I'm ok to wait.

I am slow to start today.

I am slow to start today.  I wanted to be at work already, but I can feel this cold in my bones and it aches.  I am also not entirely sure I want to leave the house after what happened last year.  You know - that time I walked 7 miles home in the snow with Shaun.  Sounds like a story that your grandparents would tell to guilt you into thinking your life now is easy, but that shit really happened.  I didn't know I had arthritis back then, either, so I wasn't on anything for my joints and the pain was pretty bad.

I guess I'm putting on my brave face and leaving.  But at the first sign of trouble I'm heading home.  In my car.  Since it's not beautiful and shiny and new I don't give a shit if anyone runs into me as long as they don't hit me TOO hard.  😂😂😂

When I was a kid...

When I was a kid I would share my popsicles with them.  I've always been this way.  😂

Help the bees.  Help everyone all the time.  ❤
