Last night when I went to bed...

Last night when I went to bed my throat was itchy so I had a slight cough. This morning I woke up and feel like I've been hit by a truck. My body is sore, I'm nauseated, have chills, AND I'm coughing.

I don't know how I got sick. We almost never leave the house and when we do it's for grocery curbside pickup or to hit a drive-through. We never stopped masking if we have to go out and still hand-sanitize and hand-wash frequently.

I'm so grateful I can take the day off to rest and not have it affect my paycheck. I'm off to rest and hopefully get right. I hope your weekend is off to a better start!

For as long as I've known Sindar and Shaun, this...

For as long as I've known Sindar and Shaun, this... "licking of the armpits" thing has been a thing. I've gotten to where I call it "nursing the baby" because I find that hilarious. 😂😂😂

So Sindar does this most nights when Shaun comes to bed. But for the last few nights Shaun has slept downstairs with Cub because of the fireworks, so I guess Sindar was missing out. We've gotten her arthritis medicine situation to where she wasn't drunk on meds, but also not crying in the day so when she started crying today I called him upstairs. Then this happened. 😂

I guess Adrian had to check it out for herself and didn't see the appeal. 😂 Notice that Sindar "nursed" and then went to Shaun's pillow (and shortly thereafter fell asleep). That is one of her regular napping spots during the day. I feel like she truly just wanted him to come see her... and maybe bring her an armpit to lick. 😂❤️

Toebean isn't the most social kitty, but...

Toebean isn't the most social kitty, but he came to get some attention from me earlier. He's so handsome. Needs his face cleaned, but he doesn't like it. I just wanted to give him his lovings today. ❤️

Lost my seat...

Lost my seat when I got up to use the restroom. Looks like Adrian is taking over working for me for the rest of the day. 😂

The confusion on Cub's face...

The confusion on Cub's face when I try to let him into the car on the "wrong" side... 😂😂😂

He's like "You're doing it wrong, Blu. I'm telling Shaun." 😂😂😂

I knew I got an award at work the other day, but...

I knew I got an award at work the other day, but I didn't know that I would get an actual certificate and this neat poker chip. It pretty much made my day to get this in the mail. 😁❤️

When I was doing Shaun's nail this weekend...

When I was doing Shaun's nail this weekend it triggered a memory in me of my MaMaw doing mine when I was a kid.  I noticed I was touching Shaun's fingers the same way she touched mine... but he wasn't complaining "You're mashing my veins!  Stop mashing my veins!" like I was.  😅

I distinctly remember being so uncomfortable with any pressure where my fingers bend and I guess because I could see veins under my skin there I thought they were being mashed.  I really don't know what that was about except that I still don't like pressure applied there.  I'm weird about being touched on my hands and around my nails, anyway.  I guess "on my hands" is a weird and unnecessary qualifier because I'm not a touch-me person in general.

But anyway, I had that memory come flooding back and I could hear in my head how my MaMaw would get in a huff and say "I am doing no such thing!" while painting my nails.  😆😆😆  And it just made me feel happy to remember that.  ❤️
