I am so, so relieved.

Where are you moving too?

I got my state and federal tax returns. That means...GECKO!!!!!! Also, a possibility to get a weighted blanket, since I no longer need to buy a harness.

My shade fell off my window a few days ago and I've been too lazy to put it back up. I have been waking up in the mornings MUCH easier since then, since I get natural light. I may just leave it off. I'm in the attic, so it's not like anyone looks in my window.

If you don't already have a place picked out to get a weighted blanket from, I have a friend who makes them

Oh, I'd love to hear about it! I was planning on getting one from Dreamcatcher, but I'm definitely open to suggestions. I had toyed with the idea of making one myself, but I decided I'll limit my adventures in sewing to harness and vest making for now

Bonus points if your friend can make a Doctor Who one

I had... a good day at work today? Dare I say it? Is it possible to enjoy an 11 hour shift on a Monday?!? I was a rockstar with my blood draws for starters. My first few weeks there, I was having a heck of a time making anything bleed lol I thought I'd never get back into the swing of it, but finally it's starting to work again. I successfully placed an IV catheter in a cat on my first attempt, without covering myself and the cat in blood! Double brownie points! This cat had a urethral blockage, which has happened to my cat a couple times but this was my first experience really helping with the process to unblock one... and it was cool and interesting and I liked helping with it, because this is why I wanted to be a vet tech; the hands on nursing care to make them feel better...

That being said... I'm totally exhausted!!

Reconnected with a friend from middle and high school and have been hanging out with her a lot lately. It feels good and makes me feel so much better about all the drama and sadness with losing my other friend. I still get really upset and sad about it but am doing much better. It helps to keep my mind off of it anyway.
