Weather: Sunny. High: 70°F. Low: 50°F. Chance of rain: 0%.

7:55- I wake up to way too loud Minecraft version of The Nightmare Before Christmas music. I clean up the couch and one of the kitchen mats because Lucy threw up on them.

8:41- I get breakfast for my brothers and I, and I also make coffee.

9:35- My mom leaves to go help her friend with her house, which she's trying to sell to move closer to her adult daughters.

9:50- I start a load of laundry.

10:00- I do absolutely nothing, as my brothers are watching TV. I switch my laundry.

11:04- I get my brothers ready to play outside. I notice that my dog made a really bad mess, so I send them out while I clean it up. It's really, really gross, and takes forever to clean up. My head gets really light and I get queasy. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever had to clean out of the carpet.

11:31- I'm finally done cleaning it, and I sprinkle some good-smelling powder on the carpet and vacuum it up for good measure. Then I go outside to play with my brother.

12:00- I get my brothers lunch. I get some carrots with ranch and a few pieces of orange because I'm still feeling blech from my dog's mess.

12:50- I go fold my laundry and reply to my Nana's text.

1:02- I send my little bro to take a nap. I wish I had time to give my dog a bath before I go get coffee with my friend, because she absolutely REEKS of sick.

1:37- My body decides it's finally time to have a crappy week. T h a n k s.

2:00- I'm starving now, so I go look for something to eat. Huzzah! There's two large leftover pancakes. I eat those, then go put away my laundry.

2:25- I leave the house to meet up with my friend at Starbucks.

2;50- I arrive early so I wait for a few minutes before going in. My friend gets there and we go in. She gets tea, and I get a Frappuccino. We talk about our books, works-in-progress, Captain Marvel, and the tesseract.

4:27- She has to leave, so we both head on out and we get home.

4:45- I get back home. My poor Lucy is looking more sick, and she's shaking. I plan to give her a cool bath after dinner to reduce her fever.

5:35- We have the first mom-cooked meal where everyone is here for the first time this week. We have pork, garlic air-fried potatoes, and peas.

6:30- I do the dishes. Since I didn't do dishes after lunch, the dishwasher is full, but I don't have to hand wash anything that's dishwasher safe.

7:30- I find some music to put on for Lucy while I'm giving her a bath. It's specifically calming for pets. I give her a bath, and she actually seems a bit calmer than when I usually give her a bath. It's either that or the fact that she's sick and didn't have much energy to react very much (since she had ventured all the way off to the chicken coop again -_- She'd get better if she didn't eat their scraps).

Once I'm done, I dry her and then give her her bed, which I had washed a few days ago, but I hadn't given it back to her since she's been sick. She looked like she was feeling a bit better and looked happy when I gave it to her. Taking a shower and getting into freshly cleaned bedding always makes me feel better, too.

I also put her towels in the wash.

7:52- I scrub the tub a bit while it's still draining. It takes forever for it to drain, because of the pipe's angle (side note: it wanted to change "pipe's" into "Pope's". If only my phone battery drained that slowly.

8:18- I decide to try to make a new cover for this book on Adobe Spark. I also watch Parks and Rec.

This?

Or this?

8:40- I finish making covers.

9:33- I go upstairs to my bathroom to finally clean the tub.

9:48- I get salt and vinegar chips even though I probably shouldn't be eating this close to my bedtime. But my mouth needs something to do, and salt and vinegar chips make my lips go delightfully numb.

10:10- I finish reading nightwraith17 's update on her life, and my brother gets back from hanging out with his girlfriend. I really need to get ready for bed so I can read more SOC and not be up so late. I check some notifications and I'm off.

10:23- I'm finally ready for bed and I get to reading.

11:43- I've read three chapters of SOC. I turn in for the night.
