Not even here for 24 hours...

Not even here for 24 hours and I'm back on my bullshit. I saw a photo of him with his location last night and cried myself to sleep. It was so heavy on my heart.

I want to be mad, but I can't. Jonathan Moses posted his photo and location to get him help. The Sonic employees were feeding him and called me at my request when he showed back up today. He was also being fed by a volunteer Kathleen Blow who showed up just as I was bribing him into my car. She sent food and money and dishes to help me help him. So it sucks to see a being in this situation, but there are good people out there and this was a group effort.

I'm gonna rest easy tonight because this fella is fed, has access to clean water, has gotten flea and tick meds, and a warm place to sleep. I'll call the vet tomorrow and see what I can do. I work until 6, but if anyone could take him to the vet tomorrow or Wednesday I can pay for the visit. If not, he'll have to wait until the weekend to be seen.

So far, he eats gently from your hand, but he's skittish. I'm assuming that he hasn't been treated very well, unfortunately. But I think he'll end up a sweet fella.

I made a quick trip to the bathroom...

I made a quick trip to the bathroom and came back to Scar watching work for me. Then he flipped over looking all cute. Two minutes of my job must have exhausted him. 😂😂😂



I took this yesterday after work.

I took this yesterday after work. I think this is the first time this one has bloomed. She's got a whole crown coming! ❤️

I'm finished swatching...

I'm finished swatching 8/12 of my helmers, or 48/72 of my helmer drawers. Or I'm just 2/3 of the way finished, if you prefer that. 😂

I'm taking the rest of the week off. I do have 2 small paint shakers, but I've been hand-shaking each bottle after the machines as well. Since I've been working on this basically every day since I started (in August? September?) my hands and wrists are hurting and I don't want to damage myself. And I'm tired. And since I'm about to be away from home for a couple of weeks I want to spend my time with Shaun.

I'm so excited to be closing in on a "maintenance phase" for this project. I'm having a great time playing with my polish, but it's gonna feel so good to my brain to have it all organized. Plus, it'll be so much easier to plan out nail art and jewelry. 😊
