A week in Sugar Glider madness...

It's been one of those weeks, a week that doesn't really amount to much, a week that ends in bloodshed. Well, not really bloodshed, by that I mean a week of ups and downs. After work Tuesday the week started on a high, then around Thursday evening it went to shit. Got a little higher this afternoon, then went to shit again. I'm currently floating on Cloud, trying to get to Cloud nine.

I'll start with Tuesday on my way home from work. A lady that I had been talking to since Monday about adopting Pietro messaged me on my way home from work and asked me for my Paypal email. Since I was driving home through woodland territory, I didn't have service. I messaged her as soon as I got home and gave her my address. While I was in the middle of my late dinner, I got a notification from Paypal. She paid him, in full! She also sent shipping money!

I messaged her shortly after and thanked her. I didn't waste time ordering his shipping crate and keeper, then I messaged Christina and asked if she would ship for me. As soon as she said yes, I sent her the shipping money. That's one thing about me, I do NOT like having money in Paypal that doesn't belong to me. So if I need to order something for someone, I'll ordered as soon as humanly possible.

While I was at Paypal, I decided to send Tracy $100 for our BFBB. So I guess it's official now, we're getting a BFBB!! I'm going to go ahead and jump to Friday, considering it's pertaining to this. He's officially our and 100% paid for! I wasn't going to send the rest of the money yet, but LaVaughn talked me into it. I'm glad I did and that it's over. Now we just have to set up a shipping date!

Anyways, back to Wednesday, which was mainly spent play The Sims. I did manage to take some joey pictures that day at least. I tried to talk LaVaughn into helping me, but she wouldn't. I somehow still managed to get some pretty decent shots with the 50mm lens. It's something I've always wanted to do, but it's unbelievably hard when it's a fixed zoom. My arms are short, it's just not a comfortable situation.

We also got Batman Arkham Night in the mail Wednesday, as well as my new peace sign Juicy Couture purse, which I love. We didn't get around to playing it until Thursday, it's awesome, I'll leave it at that.

Thursday is a blur, I honestly can't remember what happened.

I had planned on trimming nails today and feeding worms, so as soon as I woke up, that's what I started doing. It only took me a little over an hour to trim everyone's nails, feed meales (or yoggies), and take new pictures. I don't think that's too bad, all things considered.

Now I remember Thursday! LaVaughn and I went to town in hopes of getting her prescription that her doctor was supposed to call in. Long story short, it wasn't and we came home.

Well we had to go back today, despite me not wanting to go anywhere at all, but we did. I went in Walmart by myself, which is never a good thing. I was hovering around the game case all day yesterday, just staring at Mad Max, which came out Tuesday. I went against my better judgment and passed on the game. After all, I really didn't want another Witcher scenario. Well that wasn't the case at ALL today! I was weak, yes... Eve was weak. I broke down and bought it.

LaVaugh kept asking me if I got it, but I shot her down each time. Until half way home, that is, then I yanked it out of my purse. She was stoked. It's currently almost 9 PM and we're still playing the game. We've been playing --not straight -- since 6ish. It's SO much fun! One of the funnest and most addicting games I've played since Dying Light. Love it!

In that last bit of glider news for the day, I believe that Jeremy has found a home! It's with a couple that lives in Tennessee and only has one pair of gliders. They're neutered and from a fellow breeder and adopter, Kalie. She's only had good things to say about them, so I really have my fingers crossed that they still want him!

Well I guess that's all for now. I'm going to get back to playing. Until next time...

Love & Peace

In the words of Marvin Gaye...

I know the song is actually called 'What's Goin' On', but this is more like a 'What's been going on' post, which is what it is. Basically it's me giving you up to date information on what's happen in my life right now.

I'd like to start with the fact that I have a terrible infection/inflammation of some type on the tip of my index finger, which makes even typing hard. It started bugging me yesterday at work, but it's much worse today. And swollen! Man it's so swollen! Of course, I went into panic mode and looked at the desirable and inevitable -- Web MD. So now, of course, I'm scared to death that I have a terrible infection in my finger that's going to have to be drained. I'm also scared that if I don't get to the doctor in time I'll lose my finger.

LaVaughn tells me that it's just an ingrown nail, which I'm hoping it is. With that being said, I'm taking a course of antibiotics that my mom gave me some time back. I'm also going to get some Epsom salt tomorrow and start soaking it. This is going to make for a very painful work day tomorrow.

My uncle desperately wanted us to go to Thee Abbey with them today for dinner. Since we're nice, we said yes. I really, really didn't want to go -- considering we needed to sew -- but I know he would go some place if we wanted him to go. He loves to have family meals and do family things outside of the house... we're polar opposites. That's part of his charm, though.

So anyways, Thee Abbey (I think it should be The and not Thee) was a decent establishment. It's set up in the old Arcadia Valley Academy, which gives it charm and character, but not enough to win me over. I would much rather visit the place for one of their tours as opposed to the food. Now don't get me wrong, they have good food -- don't ever order the lemonade, it's terrible! -- there's just something odd about the entire experience.

We did get an ice cream from the ice cream parlor that's right across the hall from the dining area. All of their ice cream is homemade... they did not disappoint. All of their food is homemade for that mater, which makes their not so good service a smidge better.

Now I'm going to transition from eating to gliders. I'm not going to try and beat around the bush when I say this, but LaVaughn and I are selling our creme girls. They haven't warmed up to us in the months that we've had them, and we've tried everything! We've talked about it a lot and feel it's best for everyone involved. The bright side of all this is that they're going to Doug and Kyan, two of our best friends and some of the best glider owners I know. I honestly couldn't ask for a better home for them. They're dedicated and have time, they'll be able to work with them.

While I'm on the subject of gliders... we may be adding a new glider to our brood. I know, getting rid of two and adding another! It's madness, but this would be the last joey we ever adopted from Tracy, as she's getting out of breeding -- owning gliders all together, actually. The little guy we may or may not be getting is a BFBB (Black Face Black Beauty) boy. He's unbelievably cute and she's cutting us one hell of a deal, I kid you not.

I'm not going to say much else, as I don't want to jinx anything, so I'll leave it at that. I'm also going to leave you with 70+ pictures of sugar gliders... and joeys. Hope you enjoy!

Love & Peace
