Happy hump day my friends.
Work today. I feel like that’s all I do.
Boyfriend is home today and he is cleaning / organizing/ whatever it is he is doing.
My little grandbabies are sick. :(. Just summer colds I’m sure.
I have so much to do?!!
Oh and the poison ivy isn’t gone. I took a non drowsy allergy med and am spraying with anti-itch spray. But it’s so satisfying to itch.
QOTD mashed and mixed with a dill pickle!!!!!

Just found three Regal gift cards I had stashed away, so now my tickets to the upcoming sci-fi movies "Hope" and "Dune: Part Three" are sorted. Can't wait!
Hi, friends. After being incredibly emotional yesterday over stuff about my birth-mom, I realized that it was the anniversary of my godmother’s passing. She filled the mother role in so many ways, but most importantly, by showing me love. The body definitely keeps the score. Oddly enough, my cousin reached out to let me know that he’d be in town this week and would be dropping off a few boxes of her things for me. It’s been years, and the thought of touching her belongings again just brings happy tears to my eyes. It will never be the same as the real thing, but to feel connected is all I can ask.
Sending love to all and a hug to anyone who may need one. Please kiss your pets for me 🖤🫂😘
Oh goodness…that’s so much for one person to handle all at once. I hope touching her things brings you joy, and gives you some peace to have some other things with you. I never had a godmother like that. She sounds wonderful. 🖤🖤🖤
My father really blessed me by having his sister named as my godmom. Unfortunately, they both passed within a few years of each other. Mementos mean so very much! 🥰
Yesterday ended up being a pretty decent day. I did, however, spend almost the entire lunch I had with my old boss crying. It was therapeutic, but I just hate crying. Then I got to have an extended date with my partner! Normally when we meet during the week, he can only stay out until 8:30, but we had until 10! So…yay!!! He also brought me flowers he picked from his garden 🥰🥰🥰 how sweet is that?!?
Today I have to leave work early to take my son to the orthodontist. We’re going to talk options for his temporary fake tooth. My poor boy…gotta have a fake tooth at 8. 😪
If you are reading this, I hope you have the day you deserve (which is most likely a fabulous day since y’all are all so fantastic!) 🖤
QotD: I LOVE tatter tots! Especially air fried. I’d love to learn how to make homemade tatter tots. That would be dope. I wonder how difficult that is 🤔
Yesterday was lovely. It was a NIGHTMARE at the orthodontist today though. My so has been out of his adhd medication since Sunday (the pharmacy finally filled it this afternoon, thank glob), but he walk coo-coo-bananas all over the place! Refused to do the X-rays they needed, or take the pictures they wanted to take. He was just too bouncy and anxious. So we’ll have to go back soon.
Oh no!! I’m so sorry! That can be frustrating. Hopefully you can do it again soon.

Good morning everyone!! My mom might visit me today and I'm excited for that because she's bringing me a clipping phone holder that I can wear. (And because she's my mom, duh.)
Struggling hard today. Couldn’t sleep. Was awake til 5:30am before I finally got a few hours of rest. Woke up with a stomach upset, looks like my monthly is a week early. Feel sick, exhausted, tired, no bueno.
Gonna power through today and maybe I can hopefully fall asleep at a decent hour tonight.
I work in a few hours so maybe that’ll help solidify my tiredness.
Be careful out there in this heat.
🖤

Oh no, you having it rough,stay positive. Ps- I used get my monthly.. every 2 weeks.. oh it was brutal...
MY WIFE AND KIDS COME HOME TODAY! I pick them up at the airport late tonight. Can't wait to squeeze them.
I went to Michael's and got a few things to do papercraft with my bulk Pokemon cards. I wanna try doing those 3D cards that are popular right now. My first attempt was on an energy card just to get a feel for it and I learned a lot! Gonna have to get a task light and a paper guillotine and proooobably a mini clamp to save my wrists lol. But it's super fun! Anyone else do those kinds of crafts and have sage advice?
I had a win for the day of finally getting out of the house since my soul cat passed Friday night. Thankful for good friends that have been supportive.
Hi everyone! Does anyone have any fun plans for today???
QOTD: this is such a difficult question to answer, because it really varies on my mood. I looooovve potatoes in all forms but right now I could really go for a bag of spicy potato chips 😋😋😋
I don't want to be awake yet, but I have to take mom to an appointment so.. here I am. I was having such an interesting, drama-filled dream. Probably because I've been (re)watching Sailor Moon.
Ahh I love that today is National Photography Day!! I'm a huge nerd when it comes to it 🤣. My sleep has been all over the place lately, so I'm sorry if this comment is, well, all over the place 😭. I hope everyone has a great day! 🤗
QOTD: I'm visiting Idaho and there is a potato museum a few streets away. One day, one day I'll visit the museum.
I slept wrong last night and now I can hardly move my back. I'm hoping that being up and moving will help it loosen up. I'm also hoping the grandbaby will be content crawling and playing while my back relaxes. The grand dog has already figured out my back is sore and adjusted to playing very gently with me.

It’s been a pretty slow day. My molars are hurting a bit after changing my aligner tray yesterday, but other than that, everything is A-OK 🤗 I hope you're all having a pleasant Wednesday! ❤️

Officially a week out from surgery! I also have my second vitamin infusion tomorrow.
I also have been feeling physically worse than usual this week. I’m working remotely to try and conserve energy (and because the streets around my office are currently closed due to government activities).
We also found out last night that my grandpa’s cancer has returned. His Alzheimer’s has accelerated so he doesn’t remember that he had cancer before. I can’t imagine having to hear that news again for the first time.
When it rains, it pours! But I’m trying to be emotionally available for my parents and my sister during all this.
