Sometimes I can be grumpy when I first wake up, so I make a point to get up before Joe so he doesn't witness it. Joe tends to fall back asleep after his alarm so I usually have to wake him up and by then, I'm so happy. Each day, I'm generally completely optimistic that it'll be such a good day and that I can get all the things done I hope to do, no matter how long the to-do list is and how unrealistic that is. Let me say that today is no different. Unfortunately I lack the ability to accurately estimate how long tasks will take so I just assume I can easily do them all in a day. Spoiler alert: I can't. So understandably, I'm behind on photography stuff, have a list of household tasks I've not gotten to yet, and have a project for church I'm determined to start and finish today. And in the midst of all of that, I'm dreaming of art projects I want to do. But it's still early in the day and I'm still so optimistic I can easily get everything done. I just need to focus. That should be easy... right?
My finger is still not fully healed from Míriel biting me. The ironic part of this story is that I was having a moment of absolutely loving and doting on Elendil and realized I felt guilty for not doting equally on Míriel. So I decided to put Elendil back in his home and got treats for Míriel (who I knew was awake as well because she was making an absolute ruckus). Anyways, I scoped her up and set her on my other arm so I could grab the treats for her and she turned and bit my right index finger really hard. The blood immediately started dripping so I quickly put her down and ran to the bathroom to tend to my finger. So yeah, she's still as crazy as ever.
