Out of the Blū

Wednesday, November 5, 2025

My mood has eased up some. Thank goodness.

But I do think it's time to check my hormone levels and up the doses because I have not been feeling like myself lately.

TMI post. I really don't care. You've been warned.

I'm struggling this morning. I think it's getting close to my period (I hope this is the TEMPORARY reason for my extra-foul mood), but this peri hormone rollercoaster has gmfu even worse. I am not fit to be around anyone today. I've been rude to my animals, I've told Shaun "Please don't make me tell you again that I don't want to talk to you." and I have to leave my house and deal with people.

I'm gonna be masking so hard all day. Wish me and my non-existent patience luck, because we're gonna need it.

We had a pack of visitors last night. I love seeing them! ❤️

I did these nails on Tuesday...

I did these nails on Tuesday, and then I put the ghosts on the night before Halloween. I don't do holidays, so my nails are the closest I get to acknowledging that they exist. 😆

I really feel like these turned out great. I used a dark blue gel and then an aurora chrome powder over it. The chrome is still looking great, with no tip-wear, which is almost a miracle because I type a lot.

I don't have much time for nail art these days with the Web Dev bootcamp. I don't have much time for anything. But Monday starts week 8 of 12, so we're getting closer to the end. For now, I'm keeping things simple. I just threw on these vinyl ghost decals that I made in September and called it done.

For the second Friday in a row...

For the second Friday in a row, I've come home from the Web Dev bootcamp and almost immediately gone to bed. I slept and I'm awake now (temporarily; I'll be going back to bed soon). I don't know why I'm so wiped out these past two weeks, but it's intense. Week 7 of 12 is officially complete! It's crazy how fast it's flying by.

I'm still learning a ton and still having a great time. Our focus for the past two weeks has been on the back end, which is exciting because it's my first exposure to it. I don't know what I thought it would look like, but it's not this. So far, it makes a lot of sense. It's a bit complicated, but not impossible like I always imagined it would be.

I'm kind of barely keeping up with my plants and nails lately. It's getting cold here, so the plants are all moved into the greenhouse and getting sleepy. They are slowing down on water, so that's good timing for me. I've been doing barely anything to my nails, so no fancy nail art and no press-ons for the shop. There is just not enough time or energy for everything, and that's ok.

Anyway, I'm going to work a bit on my Personal Website Project for class until I get sleepy again. All of our class time recently has been spent working together on the Capstone project, so I'm going to have to finish the PWP outside of class. It's coming along nicely. I can't wait to be able to show it to you all. 😊

Albuquerque friends, check this out!
