120+ Miles Driven Today
1 Accidental Nap
Well, I metaphorically crashed like a rock into a pond when I got home today from Grandma Gator’s place. I dropped Cousin Kay off at home and then went home for some Spock cuddles.

Spock was super feisty when I finally got home from work today. Just in an unusually playful mood. It was cute.

I tried to have a sandwich for dinner today. It didn’t work out. The damned unopened lunch meat had fuzzy green and black mold on it. Which is both gross and disappointing.

1 Mildly Unwell Me
So, I have been feeling off kilter all day. Just…not good. Sour stomach, cramping, and just blah. I come home and decide, on a whim, to take my blood sugar level.

I was up way too early this morning. For a good reason, at least, but still up early. I met my old friend from high school, Megan, for breakfast at a favorite restaurant of mine called “Brunchies”.

I’m feeling sad tonight. I don’t quite know why. I feel like some things have slipped through my fingers, lately.
Maybe I’m working too much overtime and I’m just burnt out?

I didn’t get home until after six this evening. Mr. Spock was quite upset at the lateness of his dinner. But if I want to catch up, as well as knock out the forty-five minute training as I did, staying late is a necessity.
I also have to go in by seven-thirty tomorrow morning. So I’m for bed here shortly.
I’m too burnt out to read. I wanted to get another chapter of The Talented Mr. Ripley read this evening, but my brain was having none of it.
And as for crafting? My hands hurt too much to crochet further. I’m gonna do one of the aftercare things Reffie taught me for my hands and take some anti-inflammatory meds.
So I guess that’s it. I’m going to bed and praying the weekend comes quickly.
Take your meds, folks.

2 New To Me Lended Hot Glue Guns
I don’t know what kind of crafter I am that I am just now venturing into hot-glue territory. I’m making commissioned wreathes for the holiday season and I’ve not used a hot glue in in… recent memory.
Like maybe more than a decade?
