For the lack of trying...

Does that title even make sense? I don't even care, anyways! I've been MIA on my blog here lately, but it's not for the lack of trying. See what I did there? I've also been off work ALL weekend when I didn't request to be, which is annoying. Their loss, I'm a sound worker and this past weekend was the annual Mountain Man Music Festival. Jokes on them!

I got back tomorrow, which I'm mildly excited about, but also kind of just, "Eh."

I did take advantage of my last day off, though. I cut out ALL of Laci's 8 pouches and sewed up a couple before I had to deal with other things. I've sewn her 3 cage sets -- by myself -- already, so I only need to get these 8 sewn before I can ship them out. I'm excited. After this I can start on just regular sets.

Wednesday we have to take Fletcher to the vet for his 6 month check up. He has to have a liver profile, heartworm test, nail trim, anal glands expressed, his ears, and then some. Poor guy, he doesn't even see it coming. Then Thursday I have to do Megan's senior pictures. Friday is all about finishing Laci's stuff and getting everything packaged up and sent out. Should be an interesting week!

So, yesterdays episode of The Walking Dead was pretty much the best thing that's happened all week. Carol completely stole the show IMO. Have I mentioned that my uncle is now 100% hooked? He watched seasons 1-3 last week and the week before, this week he watched season 4 and 5 in THREE days!! Can you say obsessed? Lol, I can relate.

In glider news, Norman is still tugging at my heart strings and I am completely over the moon for him. Ugh, I love him dearly! I'm like 97% sure we're keeping him. I know, we're terrible. Also, Charli's little one should be OOP within the next couple weeks. I can't wait! Kira is still without joeys. This is so weird for her and makes me think she's self-retiring. It makes me sad to think there will be no more Kira and Logan babies.

I guess that's all for now, Until next time...

Love & Peace

Pictures from Saturday:

I love the yard this time of year. Not the best pictures to back that up, but still.

There are SO many buckeyes this year!

Sunday (all cell pics):

Lap cat.

Gorgeous Sunday evening.

Watching The Walking Dead season 6 in my Walking Dead pants.

Some Norman cuteness:

This boy, ugh!

He looks mean, but he's super sweet.

Monday:

All 8 of Laci's pouches.

Now this is a good example of how pretty our yard is in the fall.

Yum, biscuits!

Five on Friday...

So... I've noticed that this is a popular thing to do on blogs nowadays. I'm honestly not sure how it works, so this is probably going to be really stupid. So in lieu of how the other Five on Friday's go, I'm just going to do my own thing.

Here are 5 things that are standing out to me as of now.

5. Okay, I'll start out with number 5, obviously. One thing that is eating away at me is how behind on TV shows I am. LaVaughn and I did so good the first week all our favorite shows came on. Well, we did semi good I guess. We watched The Walking Dead and American Horror Story: Freakshow, leaving Supernatural nowhere to be seen. Neither of us had any idea that Once Upon A Time was on, so that doesn't really count. As of now, we're still up to date on The Walking Dead, but that's it. I would really love to get everything watched before next weeks new episodes.

4. Next Thursday feels like an impending doom. I have to drive my aunt to Cape to have some type of test done on her back. It's at 10:00... in the morning! Cape is almost a 2 hour drive from me, so that means we're going to have to leave before 8, meaning I'm going to have to be up at 7. It's not that I mind taking her -- that's not even an issues -- I am just not a morning person, at all. I get super anxious at the thought of going to bed early. I know, I'm a freak with weird anxiety issues.

3. The other thing that's been a constant for me is The Evil Within. I think about it constantly! When I get up, while I'm doing basically anything during the day, while I'm at work, and before I go t bed. I'm obsessed! I'm getting so close I can taste it! I'm FINALLY done with chapter 10, I just beat that a little while ago, I've been hung up on the boss fight for 2 days now. There are only 15 chapters in the game, so I'm almost there!

2. Another added stress is the arrival of Christmas! There's still so much to buy -- actually there's everything to buy, neither LaVaughn nor myself have bought anything! In our defense, we've been waiting on Christmas items to come out and the arrival of Black Friday deals. I want to get good gifts this year, but I also want to get good deals, so I think waiting until mid to late November is a safe bet when it comes to buying gifts.

1. The #1 thing on my mind right now is our rats. Sally and Melissa in particular, but mainly Sally. Melissa has a small/medium sized mammary tumor that will need to be removed soon, but it's her breathing that's worrying us. She breathes really, really fast all the time. I think a check-up is more than in order.  Sally, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be doing so well. She's very disoriented, or dizzy like. She stumbles a lot, falls, and drunk walks. I think it's an inner ear infections due to the reoccurring abscess she has on her face. Her bottom jaw is also distorted a bit, it's like out of line. This worries be a great deal, considering this is one of the side effects of a ZGT. I just hope it's nothing and I'm over worrying. We'll know more Monday when we go to the vet.

Well there you have it kids, that's my Five on Friday. Very lame and very, very weird. Not sure that this will be something I ever do again. But hey, I tried it.

Love & Peace

Some pictures from around the yard today:

The old wooden doghouse.

I love the colors of fall.

Mine and LaVaughn's Buckeye loot:

So many buckeyes!!

All the leaves are brown...

And the sky is gray? Well, it's not really gray, more of a sky blue. It's days like today that remind me of how much I love the Fall weather. And not just the weather, the scenery as well.

It's truthfully one of the best times of the year to take photos. All the colors mesh together so well and make for a beautiful surrounding. I haven't taken a lot of good photos lately, so these are a real treat, lol. I can tell what I'm going to be doing for the next couple weeks now.

Well, I suppose that's all, just mainly wanted to share some pics. Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Robbie's nice, clean ferret cage.

Just look at the beautiful fall colors on this leaf.

I love how the sun shines from behind, beautiful.

Fletcher's actually looking! Little mutt, lol.

Decaying Willow Tree Leaf

Ground spider web.

Love the flowers this time of the year.

This is probably one of my favorites.

Or this one.

A perfect maple leaf. Degrassi anyone? :)

Susie takes such great photos.

A couple buckeyes my auntie gave me. :)

Look at their color! It almost looks like cherry oak!
