I REALLY need to cut my grass, but...

I REALLY need to cut my grass, but I'm seriously about to pass out. I'm so exhausted. I don't think I can do it today. 🙁 And of course I have a list of things to do tomorrow so it might just have to wait until Monday after work. 😕 I hate that.

So I just got home from the Anniston Downtown Market...

So I just got home from the Anniston Downtown Market with my Polish All the Things jewelry.  I gotta say - I'm a big fan of the huge white tent.  Even though I have my own little 10x10 tent it's nice to not have to set it up.

I am so tired today and was tired last night as well - probably thanks to the extra methotrexate I'm taking and stress from finals.  Anyway, I wasn't looking forward to getting up and going if I'm perfectly honest, but I had committed to doing it and so I went.  I'm glad I did.  I like the new set up and location and I also forget in my fog of exhaustion how much I like actually doing shows like this.  Until I get there and then I have fun.  😂

This was the first show I've done by myself - totally alone.  The prospect of that was kind of scary, but it wasn't so bad.  I don't think I could do a full day alone, but I can handle 5 hours, at least.

So all in all it was good.  I made a little over $100 and I've only ever made more than that at OxfordFest, which is supposed to be a HUGE deal.  I'm not sure if it was the fact that I'm not there every week, or if it's that there are fewer jewelry vendors competing all at once, or if it's the new tent and location of the market, or if it's because it's race weekend... I have no idea.  But I'll definitely be more excited when it's my turn to go again.

Anyway.  I'm off to feed the ani-pals.  No one was awake when I got up this morning.  I wonder if Nom has thrown another Tortie Tantrum because his food is so late...  🙂

Made a friend at lunch today.

Made a friend at lunch today. He's an inch worm! Probably the tiniest one I've ever seen. 
Pardon my dry skin. I had washed my hands before eating with some (apparently) strong soap.


Update on Mr. Robin:

Update on Mr. Robin:

"Good morning Blu,

Yes, I personally picked him up from Dr. Haley Burke at Alford Avenue Vet Clinic a couple of days ago.  He appears to have run into something (maybe a window or a car), as he seems to be pretty out of it.  He isn't eating very well on his own, so we are hand feeding him hourly to make sure that he gets his nutrients.  Hopefully with a little time and TLC, we will begin to see some improvements!  Thank you so much for checking up on this little guy!

Best,
Scottie Jackson
Director of Education and Outreach"

Made a 91 on my Algebra final.

Made a 91 on my Algebra final.  So I think I have an A in that class.  Woo!

The downside?  I found out yesterday that class doesn't count toward my GPA.  It's Math 098 which is remedial.  I mean clearly I needed it so I could do well in my next math which is Math 100, but I'm kind of bummed it doesn't count.  I wouldn't have tried any less hard had I known that before, but still.  Oh well.

One final down, 2 more to go!

Slept like I was dead...

Slept like I was dead and it was AMAZING.  That's REALLY good because my Algebra final is tonight.  I needed to not be sleepy during it.  Everyone wish me luck.  Better yet, wish me an A!  😃

Feeding everyone and then heading to work.  I'm late this week.  I can't manage not to be, but my boss knows I'm crazy and is being really great about it.  That is much appreciated.  I'd be in big trouble if everyone wasn't on board with this whole school thing and what it's doing to me at times.

Later, friends.  Let's all hang in there for one more day!
