Ok, this is metal.

Ok, this is metal. It's not budging. I really don't know what to do. 🙁

Send help. 😳

Today didn't go as planned.

Today didn't go as planned. Maybe my plants get watered and debugged tomorrow. Shaun went to his mom's grave and then we visited his dad. Shaun's dad gave me these plants. They used to be his mom's. One is a Christmas Cactus and I'm not sure about the other. But they are huge and healthy, and I will take good care of them.

About to water my plants.

About to water my plants. They're also getting a pesticide because I've seen some mealybugs. I'm off for a few hours. 😳

Shaun's baby Bastian...

Shaun's baby Bastian fell asleep while giving me kitty kisses. I moved my hand and he stayed put. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I've had a busy weekend, but it was so much fun.

I've had a busy weekend, but it was so much fun. Me and Kira stayed the night with Emily on Thursday. Kira met Eva and the rest of the family - including all of the geckos, puppers Ramona and Tilly, and kitty Mushi. We both got to meet and hold Ashley's 10 week old baby Nick and he was so precious. He reminded me so much of Shadow when he was that age. Emily's sister Lindsay looked like a beautiful fairy princess in her wedding gown. The whole everything was beautiful and it was hard for me not to cry. Laurel came and did makeup and didn't stay long enough 😛, but it was good to see her face.

Today I saw my friend Deb. I also met her friend Carol. I did their nails and we chatted for hours and it was so nice. I needed that. I wish I had more time to see friends but school just drains my life force. But hopefully it won't be that long between visits again. I really hope that I brightened up Deb's birthday. I definitely brightened up her nails. 😁

I'm about to shower and paint my nails. Woo! Tomorrow I'm staying home and watering my plants. I start back to school on Tuesday so I need to be getting ready for that. Summer classes only last about a month, but they are 4 days per week and long hours. That's ok, though - it's my last summer in school! I can do this! 😁

I have looked into this before...

I have looked into this before (like 5 years ago when I started college) and then kind of forgot the details - only keeping in my mind that I would be getting a "money job" upon graduation...

I just gave my heart a panic by doing the math again. If I make the average starting Computer Science salary next year when I graduate I'll be making in one week what it took me a month to make before. HO.LY.COW. We are going to be ok. One more year and we will be ok. Twelve months and the pressure will ease up.

Y'all, I feel freaking RENEWED right now.

I really hope nothing happens to me before I get my family straight.

(Is anyone else amused by how fast I flipped from "I'm cool" to "I hope I don't die."? Ah, anxiety.)
