Time Flies When....

i would say "when you're having fun," but i think it would describe it more accurately if i said "when you work 50 hours a week." Something off the lines of that.

Where do i even start?! seriously though, i am pretty sure i only have four modes: working, cleaning, eating, or sleeping. maybe five if you include driving to and from work. that extra 20 minutes every day really takes it's toll in the long run (meaning one way to work). i barely have time to run unless i want to get up extra early or go after work when it's still stupid hot and gross out.

i can complain and make excuses all day long, i suppose, but i really would love some down time for a couple days.

in other news, i finally got to make a coconut cream pie! i didn't get to take any fancy pictures of it, NOR did i share it with anyone or even finish it, but it was a thing, and it happened, and it was awesome! the recipe called for just regular coconut, i think next time i will toast it. i thought about it to begin with, but didn't bother to take the time. i have been so lazy outside of work lately. it is almost difficult to be lazy because i don't really even have things to binge watch on netflix or anything. i am out of steven universe and ponies until they come back from hiatus, which i have no idea when that will be.

work has been an adventure as always, the hours are long, i am always cleaning, the usual. i have been getting the feeling lately that since i don't seem to have time, i would love to have only one job so i don't have to split myself up, or at the very least have a few more hours to do stuff. however, this feels like it will always be a "someday." i think next on the list is get out of this effin cave called an apartment, which i have about 8 months to figure out, whether it be another apartment or a house.

look at this dumb face. i love it so much. they deserve to have more sunshine in their lives, and more time with mom. i have been bringing them around for either car rides or to work with me to be around them (aka: to get my bird fix), which has been entertaining in and of itself. nubs doesn't really seem to like it much, but i have only taken him in the car one time. he has lived with us only in the apartments, and we have just carried him from one to the next! in time, though. i will have to bring him out again.

cosmo, on the other hand, has come out with me a couple times recently, i made him a harness out of a playstation lanyard! he tolerates it until i stop moving, but he has handled it pretty well. he came to the mall with me for comic-con day on the 20th, we walked around, he was my i.t. assistance fixing the register at work, and on monday i dragged him around for my birthday! we went to the bank to see kristen, the vet to get kairi's supplies and see heather, and then to pep boys. we also stopped at carvel to get ice cream, but they threw us out because "some people don't like animals around." meh. whatever. lots of other places let us do what we want. satch also came outside for a bit to help me with my garden. he was not a fan of the neighbor's dog, but they went inside and he was okay.

on the birthday note, i had a pretty good time. i took sunday and monday off, so two days off was nice. went for a walk on sunday, i made some cake pops for work for our harry potter birthday celebration, then we went to cheesecake factory for national cheesecake day! the best time to have a birthday ☺

i have never been surrounded by so many people at once....well, meaning like friends and family, for a birthday. usually we end up with about 6-8 of us, but this year i had 13 people!! holy crap! AND i had gifts!! like, people went out of their way to do something for me. it was overwhelming but in a good way! i don't ever expect things from anyone, i am always happy to know i have good friends. it was pretty exciting though! if any of you read this, i will say again how much i truly appreciate everything!! i am still in awe of everything three days later! ♥♥♥

look at how awesome my snitches were! the weather ruined everything, though. it was like 80 degrees, and ron wanted to drive his new (old) station wagon...with no air conditioner....and they melted all over the place. :( not a single one made it to work complete, although there were 4 of 25 left on the sticks. at least i had made a chocolate cake on the side.

monday (actual birthday) i went for a run to work off the fat kid in me from saturday (even though i had leftovers that i ate), and we drove around with cosmo. that was pretty much it. i was glad to not do anything, until we realized we had to do laundry around 7. we watched the new rick and morty while doing laundry. uneventful, but what i need more of in my life.

i think that about sums everything up for lately. my mind is always stirring with ideas and things, but some are best kept secret until i am ready. thanks for stopping by! ☺
