She terrifies me sleeping like this.

She terrifies me sleeping like this. She's face-down in the blankets.

She's on meds for some respiratory crud right now. Poor thing. ❤️

I had one of the weirdest wakeups ever...

I had one of the weirdest wakeups ever in the wee hours of this morning.

Scar and Adrian (cats) live in my bedroom and sleep with me. Scar sleeps on my pillow, snuggled up to my face.

I was sleeping on my side, Scar on my pillow close to my face. He must have stretched his arms and flexed his claws out, then relaxed. All fine and normal... except that one of his claws slid perfectly into my empty septum piercing and he had me hooked by the nose. 😂😂😂

It didn't hurt at all. My septum piercing at one point was stretched to an 8 gauge. A 10 gauge will still to this day go in with no resistance. That skinny little claw was nothing, but it was a weird sensation to feel when you don't expect it. 😂

I just flexed his claw and easily freed myself and went back to sleep. I'm glad I felt it on entrance, instead of waking up when he inevitably started snatching his paw in an effort to free himself FROM MY NOSE. 🫠 I'm sure that would've been a bit unpleasant. 😂

What are the odds of that happening? It's definitely not an experience I would have ever anticipated having. 😂😂😂

Who else wants to do things, but can't make yourself do the things?

Who else wants to do things, but can't make yourself do the things?

And how do you get yourself to do the things?

I want to skate. I watch videos. I have everything I need. But sometimes I just can't DO IT.

I don't even need a lot of space. I could do drills in my kitchen or garage or whatever. I literally have no excuse, but I'm fighting my brain.

Help?

This is one of my favorite ways to take pictures of the boys.

Ooh, my first time charging away from home.

Ooh, my first time charging away from home. I needed to learn how to do this, anyway. Gonna do my DuoLingo while I wait. 😊

Edit: Well, that was easy. And cheap!

Today has been good! 😊

Caitlin went with me to the consignment stores and lunch today. I only sold 4 things total, but I found a few treasures. One is a neat-looking sweater. Another is a plain shirt, but very soft and will look nice at work. I also got a printed shirt. And the best one is one that Caitlin spotted. It's navy blue and so beautiful. I've never felt elegant one day in my whole life, but that shirt made me feel like a princess. Caitlin got it for me because we couldn't pass it up! (I'll get pics, but not today).

Then me and Shaun and the dogs went to a park. They walked and I skated. I had some stumbles, but no falls this time. I got about 30 minutes in before the dogs were done.

After reading about wheels with edges, I decided to try some tighter turns and that went well. I can definitely tell the difference in the precision. Also, I had Shaun install a back brake for me. I'm already doing better using it than I ever got at using toe stops. I usually stop without using brakes at all, but I wanted some kind of brake just in case.

I know I'm not supposed to look at my feet while skating, but it's helpful that I can look down and see if I'm holding my foot straight while using the back brake. Using a toe stop has my foot bouncing everywhere and lurches me forward, and it's behind me so I can't see the mistake I'm making to correct it.

Anyway, after that we went to a car wash and cleaned our cars. Both were super past due, so I feel happy to have that done. Now I'm just resting, or maybe doing my nails. We'll see.

I hope this Monday has treated you well, too! ❤️
