No, just no...

Ugh, god, I hate being sick. It started last night and is in moderate swing today. Yuck, just yuck. And you wanna know the real joy? I have to work the rest of the weekend -- fun! Sarcasm, obviously. Not that what I do on the weekends would be considered hard, but it's draining. Being on your feet all day can do that to you.

I'm hoping and praying that this doesn't turn into a 2 week long cold like I had at the beginning of the year. It never fails, when I get sick, I'm sick. Like nearly every cold-like symptom I can have I'll get. So yeah, there's that...

Oh, I almost forgot, I asked off this Sunday for The Walking Dead premiere. If I continue to get sick, I'm going to be forever grateful that this is the Sunday that I asked off.

My day consists of tea.

And more tea, plus gallons of water and gatorade.

And cats...

Fall is in the air, as is binge watching TV shows...

It's begging to look a lot like fall outside and I'm loving every minute of it! Fall is my favorite time of year. As much as I love winter, fall even trumps that. I look forward to late September and all of October every year. I love November too, there's something so inviting about the fall season and all of the holidays to follow.

With that being said, something I love JUST as much as fall is receiving packages in the mail, like today. LaVaughn ordered seasons 1-3 of Chicago PD and I can't wait to binge watch every single episode again. Such an amazing show and so much fun to watch.

I guess that's all for now, kiddos...

See, this is so fall..

And the lovely Chicago PD series.

New and improved Shane Walsh...

So, I got my replacement Shane in the mail today from @boxlunchgifts . He was in MUCH better shape this time than the first time. No tears, cuts, rips or anything! The box doesn't even seem dented, which is a huge relief. This time he was wrapped in bubble wrap instead of what looked like construction paper, like the first time.

Way to go, Boxlunch, way to go!

My beautiful Shane Walsh Funko POP!

In memory of my uncle Bill...

My uncle passed away over the weekend. He's been on hospice for 4 years now I think, so it was kind of expected. He was a fighter, though. Kept his wits about him up until the very end. I haven't spent much time with him as of late, but I did spend a lot of my childhood with my and my aunt Eva when my grandma lived next to them.

He used to work at the full service gas station in Frederickton -- I can still remember pulling up and seeing him sitting out front of the station, waving. He was also in the Army back in the 40s I believe. He's worked his entire life, he's had a hard life, but a meaningful one.

You will be forever missed and I am grateful that I'm called Bill Wallace when I talk due to the magnitude of my voice, it's an honor.

Crappy joey picture day...

I've never been more disappointed with pictures in my entire life. The pictures that I took of the joeys today just look like crap. The lighting is awful and just not what I'm used to. It didn't help at all that the joeys didn't even try to cooperate. It's also stressful that I have 6 joeys to do, which is more than I"m used to.

Anyways, despite my best efforts to delete all the pictures I took today, I did not. So without further adieu...
