Weekly iPhone Roundup {3.11 - 3.17}

First I'd like to say, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Another eventful weeks for the books. Not anything major, just doing a lot and involved in a lot. I added 3 new Silkie Chicks to the flock, which was an impulse buy. I only wanted two white ones, but there was legit only 3 left, so I couldn't leave the third little one behind. 

We also took all the glider cages out and cleaned them, which was an all day thing. We also cleaned the toys, wheels and all the cage sets. The gliders were probably having a sensory overload due to all the cleanliness. I'll be the first to admit that we absolutely do not clean their cages as much as we should. With the weather getting warmer, we really have no excuse. 

Aside from that we had the Bald Eagle excitement from my last post. Still so damn cool and I'm so proud of the pictures I was able to capture. It makes me want a higher quality telephoto lens now, which is terrible. It's not like it's gonna happen, They're insanely expensive.

I also got to play the Resident Evil 4 remake demo yesterday. So. Freaking. Amazing! If anyone knows me, they know I love anything Resident Evil. My sister and I have legit been playing Resident evil games since 1999, which is almost a quarter century... unreal! For the solo games, RE4 has to be one of my favorites. I have so many good memories with it, I think that's why I love it so much. I got the remastered version for PS4, but the rendering or something really screws with my eyes. 

I almost forgot to add that I went with my aunt to our culty neighbors house Wednesday to look at some sprouts. Word on the street is that they're selling their property. I couldn't believe it, I was both excited and dreading who might move in after them. That's beside the point. I mainly went to look at their chicken coop that they have for sale. We've been in need of a new coop for years. We have the lumber and everything else for our new one, but we have to wait until my uncle is recovered from his surgery to build it for us. Until then, we thought this coop would be perfect. They're asking a lot for the coop, but they did agree to go down a few hundred dollars, which is awesome. I just have to contemplate for the next week or so on what to do.

Anyways, I think that's pretty much it. Anything else will be in the photos and not worth writing too much about. Enjoy!

Living in a rural region means you absolutely will get stuck behind farmers and their tractors.

Here's the new baby Silkies! One looks cream, but the other two are for sure white.

Granny Layla.

Perryvile, MO streets and night.

People are so nasty. Someone left their McFlurry outside the drive-thru window Saturday night.

I'm in love with the new baby Silkies. They're tiny and terrified.

The drive-thru was a bitch Sunday night at McDonald's. I do not miss these days.

This baby turkey wanted so badly to come home with me.

So did this one.

And that one in the back.

Notes on the clawfoot bathtub. Love the aesthetic.

Walmart grocery pickup for the win. The guy that almost always bring the order out is a guy named, Nathan, that I used to work with at McDonald's.

The drive home on the new Saint Francois bridge.

The boys cage was nice and clean Tuesday. All at my own hand, I might add.

Mr. Max... he's such a beautiful red boy.

Here's the Bald Eagle next from afar. I sure hope the owner of the farm doesn't mind us parking here.

It's really far back.

Thankfully the zoom on my phone got a decent picture of the mated pair of Bald Eagles.

This is Miss Louise, our scissor beak chick.

She's such a curious and sweet girl.

Here's more of the baby chicks.

And more of the baby chicks.

The scraggly one is our white Polish Crested chick, Thrya.

This absolutely insane black and white chick is another one of our Polish Crested chicks. Her name is Brida. If you know, you know.

A more calm Crested Polish.

I just love all our chicks so much.

This is the rarely photographed black Silkie.

Here are the other 3 glider cages in the process of being cleaned. After months and months, we finally moved Cas' cage out of the room. :(

I not only scrubbed their water bottles, but I boiled them first. I also soaked all the nozzles in white vinegar to break off hard water stains.

Our one white HQ sugar glider cage all nice and clean.

Our double stacked HQ sugar glider cages, nice and clean.

And lastly, our Double Critter Nation sugar glider cage that got cleaned the day before.

Here's a pic of the new Resident Evil 4 remake demo. Loved it!

Nasty, hazy day.

Here are the sprouts that the neighbors gave us. They're all in really rough shape.

And last, but not least, all of the Dunkin' Donuts s'mores iced cases that were given to us.

I can fit my friendly old thumb...

Ugh, that song! One of my friends on Facebook shared this really messed up animated song that rhymes in all the worst ways. I'm not sure how old or new the song is, but it's nuts. The sad part... I kind of like it. Just look it up -- the title of this blog is part of the song.

Okay, now time for some of the most exciting news ever... OUR CAGES CAME TODAY! Holy crap, they're amazing! We're now the proud owners of 8 brand new Double Critter Nation cages! I can't wait to get the glider room finished and all of our gorgeous new cages put together.

Gods they're heavy, though. The UPS driver asked where I wanted them. I told him the garage, so he backed the truck up to it and lowered them down, that was it. LaVaughn and I moved them all the way from the front of the garage to the very back of the room that's attached to the garage. My arms are killing me!

Before all of this, I finished up the sets that I started Monday. Well, LaVaughn helped me some. I'm like officially out of fleece now, it's kind of sad. I ordered some from Joann's either Friday or Saturday, can't remember. I got 7 new prints and 7 new solids. I just got the shipping notification today saying 12 prints shipped. You know what that means -- two were out of stock. Now I have to go back to Hancock and order more because Fabric.com is too expensive and Joann has a 3 yard minimum. And just my luck, the anti-pill fleece is on sale at Hancock, so naturally I found another print that I wanted, as well as more of the woodland animal fleece that like 4 people want a cage set out of! Ahhh! I'm going to be a busy bee the next couple weeks.

Also -- not that this is even remotely set in motion -- I might have a new job at the local convenience store that's like 3 miles from my house. They need someone on Fridays and Saturdays from 1-8 and possibly on Sundays. I'm going to talk to her tomorrow... Wish me luck!

Well, I guess that's all for now. Time to go watch some Netflix or read my comics...

Love & Peace

Sets that were sewn today. I think they're pretty.

And lastly, all of our gorgeous new cages! And a little snow that we got today.

There's no going back now...

Finally got a chance to take some decent outdoor joey pics today. Nothing super awesome, but they're decent. It was bordering on being chilly and too cold to be outside, plus it was late, so there wasn't much along the lines of "golden" pictures.

Speaking of joeys, I'm worrying myself to death about Charli's new little boy. He's eating well and gaining weight, but he's tiny and has this crud stuck to his head from being IP for so long. And to top it off she's over grooming that spot and taking some of his hair with it. I'm just so close to neutering Tyler, you have no idea.

While I'm on the subject of gliders, I may as well go ahead and say how terrible we are. Milli posted in SGF earlier and said that Petco was having a huge sale on Double Critter Nation cages. They were on sale for $179, but there was a glitch in Petco's system that allowed a 20% off coupon and a 25% off coupon, making the cages a little over $112 EACH!! Since we've been blessed in finding our joeys homes and I've been selling cages sets, we decided to get EVERYONE a new cage! Even the rats! We had nearly a $600 savings on all of the cages thanks to the coupon glitch. It was insane!

Apparently everyone in the rat and chinchilla groups were taking advantage of this too, because Petco went out of stock within hours and their system was down for a while. I'm so happy we were able to take advantage. I'll breath easy when they're actually here and in our grasp.

I suppose that's all for now, just wanted to update everyone on the happenings, albeit boring happenings. Until next time...

Love & Peace
