Life was a little rough in the beginning of the week. Monday was all fine and dandy but right when nighttime hit, I felt a little nauseous. I ended up taking Tuesday and Wednesday off. I laid in bed a lot but was able to finish two puzzles this week.

Rizzo was a trooper. He literally laid in bed with me all day. He needs a bath.

I worked only 2 days this week and when Friday rolled around, I was in tip top condition. I was able to follow through at the food bank. They were doing the Mayor’s Back to School Fest where you load backpacks up with school supplies. We were able to fill up 17 pallets which equaled to 1700 backpacks!

I even got the meet the mayor and there was a high probability that I ended up on telly. After 4 hours, I went to return my Amazon things and picked up Raising Cane’s for lunch.

Saturday I met up with Mallory & Beth at Capri Nails to get pedicures. I am loving Vietnamese Coffee. Can someone please make it for me? I know mine won’t come out the same.

We went next door to Emily’s Taqueria so that Mallory can pick up food. She bought me a watermelon paleta. The flavour was good and the coldness was perfect for the hot day. But I feel like they’ve been sitting there for a long time because the texture was a little weird.

We went to Beth’s where we rummaged through her nail collection. Mallory left and I stayed chatting up a storm with Beth. She helped me see some things through and helped me build some courage on other things. Thankful to have her in my life!

Since I was sick I didn’t eat and I went crazy and got wings yesterday and sashimi today. It hit the spot. Now, it’s eat better time. Jenny’s wedding is coming up and I have not done well for myself.

Frankenstein and I did our first video chat last night that lasted two hours long. We took a picture with our pets. HAHA And ended up in space. It was nice to see his face and be together even when we cannot. physically I haven’t gotten approval if he would be okay to appear on the blog, so for now, you get stuff like this. You’re welcome.

August is my chilliest month, no trips! But it also means, one of the months where I have more time to make all the shirts I need to make … and those damn pillow covers Brudda needs me to make for his couch.

Went over to Frankenstein’s Monday and got to meet Artemis. He finally named her. Her for now until he actually takes her to the vet. She wasn’t a big fan of me at first so I started taking out different toys I got her (pickle included) to see if I could bribe her. She wasn’t a fan and questioned my every move. She did like my hair and dress though. She finally gave up and cuddled with me a bit while we watched Manifest. I accidentally fell asleep for a short period. Whoops.

I got kitty updates throughout the week. Her eyes are turning yellower! And now I want a cat.

I was able to get some crawfish from Yummy Seafood Tuesday. It’s probably my last time for the season and it was perfect.

I also got to get in a few cups of Watermelon Juice. I got an immersion blender during Prime Day sale and it’s been well worth it. I feel so dumb for not getting one sooner! I’m not sure why I like drinking watermelon more than eating it.

Thursday night I took Mum to Outback Steakhouse. Erin got me a gift card for my birthday to use next time I was donating and it was perfect! I had so much leftover and ate it for two other meals. Their margarita flight was dang good too. Pretty sure not a lot of alcohol but still good.

Friday, after work, I donated and got a free beach towel. I was the last one there and felt awkward that they were all waiting for me.

I went to Mallory’s after where we updated each other about life and then took selfies. We had the best cheap wine and ate dinner when John came home. We ordered from Fuji Sushi Restaurant and it was surprisingly good and they give a lot!

We had brownies and ice cream afterward while watching Netflix. There’s a scene that’s famous on TikTok and we took a gander and boy was it a gander. If you’re wondering, Sex/Life, Episode 3 around 19:50. NSFW.

Saturday I went to Shabu Town with Mum and June after debating for almost an hour on getting Indian food. Hoping I can get some of that in soon. It’s been a while!

I’ve been having a lot of doggie time since Kato and Bruno stayed all week while Sissy & BIL were out of town. Rizzo was giving me a lot of cuddles weirdly enough and I took him up on the offer. We even went on a two hour walk. He was dying but we did it! I was going to take him again today but it was 91 degrees — but with the humidity, it felt like 101. Okay, thanks mother nature.

With no kids around, I was able to finish four puzzles this week. Only 500 pieces each so super easy but no missing pieces!
