Under lock and key...

Well, it's official, I need to be quarantined. Seriously, I felt like I was dying when I woke up. My head felt like it was 5x larger than it was, I was congested, I couldn't breath, and I was dizzy whilst I was walking to the bathroom. Yeah, not fun at all! I am so beyond relieved that I called in today. Smartest thing I've done in a long time.

I seriously hope I'm better by tomorrow. I have to do a 1-8, so I'm going to need to do some massive recovering today and tonight. I can't call in two days in a row without a Dr's note. That would be murder! Lets just keep our numbers crossed for a fast recovery time. ;)

Aside from the fact that I felt like crap when I woke up, LaVaughn and I still managed to cut loads of cage sets. Okay, okay, she does 95% of the cutting, but I do all the vines and the tabs. And let me tell you, tabs are not easy to cut! In fact, they may be one of the hardest things to cut!

We also held the joeys for a while today. One two of them... sad face. I feel like we're really slacking in the glider love department. I know it's mainly because I'm sick, but I can't help but feel like they're being neglected if they're not fed treats on a daily basis.

Okay, enough sick talk... it's time to talk Christmas! Well, not really Christmas, more like presents! That's my favorite part about Christmas anyways. It's so amazing how the older you get, the more you like to give than receive. Considering I', nearly 26, I've been like this for a while. Yeah, like a good 5 years! Haha, I'm playing, of course. Ever since I hit 14 I've preferred to give.

Anyway! I veered way off the beaten path. What I was trying to say is that LaVaughn and I (how many times do I say "LaVaughn and I"?) did lots of online shopping Thurs. night and dropped nearly $150 on Christmas presents for everyone! We're buying for 4 people this year, so it's gonna be a bit pricey. That's where savings comes in, lol. We've hoarded most of our cage set money, joey money, and a little work money just for Christmas this year. We're hoping to make up for the last 6 that we've neglected to have.

We actually got a couple of the things that we ordered in the mail today. It was 4 different things that were all the same. Can you guess what they are? Here's a hint... they have 4 openings!

Okay, enough riddles and mindless ramblings. I need to go dope myself up on some more cold meds. Fun, fun, fun! Now lets just hope I survive tomorrow. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Here's the always adorable, Seamus:

And now for Miss Hadley:

A sneak peek at some of the things we ordered online... just some! :)

Some cage sets:

And this little number is just a teeny, tiny hint as to what we're working on... with flannel!! 

As I ponder, weak and weary...

I decided to go with a Poe title, simply because it's dark and dreary out. Oh, and RAINY! Seriously, ever since 11:00 this morning, it's been raining. I'm assuming it started raining before then, but I was completely unconscious before 11. I was only at myself for a few minutes at when I heard the downpour. I don't think it slacked off once until 3ish.

Anyways...

I ended up not going to work today for reasons I don't care to discuss at the moment. You just never know who's reading my blog! Even though I highly doubt someone I know from this state is reading this at the moment. I guess everything worked out for the best. I don't feel at the top of my game today and have one of those annoying headaches that I can't seem to shake.

I think my headache is the main reason I didn't want to sew today, even though we needed to sew so badly. Here I go with that procrastination we all know and love.  At least we were able to cut everything out that needed to be cut. So when tomorrow rolls around, it's on like Donkey Kong!

Bart is so not making it easy for me to type. He's insisting on sitting on my shoulder and/or in my arms, leaving me only one hand to type with. Note to self; never put Bart in the bathroom (he was getting picked on outside) when I'm planing on blogging. And yes, I'm blogging in the bathroom, but that's beside the point.

Okay, so I like to blog in the bathroom. It's not my fault that it's my quite room with absolutely no distractions. Minus the dripping faucet... sigh.

Aside from the absolutely boring and wet day, we did manage to carry some of our little fur monsters around. We try to focus mainly on the joeys at this point, but we couldn't help but carry some of the older babies around as well. We decided to go with Chloe and Boone, mainly because Boone needs more of our attention (we're still working on his crabbiness). And not to mention, Chloe is harboring two glorious little ones. I carried Avon around because he's going to be leaving in a couple weeks and I want to get as much one-on-one time in with him while I still can. And, of course, the three little ones.

Not to worry, I managed to get a couple pictures of them as well. Nothing like last time, but enough to suffice. We'll have different pairs on us tomorrow. I'm thinking Sadie and Pip for myself, LaVaughn will probably go with Kira and Logan. Okay, rambling. Who cares who we'll be carrying tomorrow! Ugh... I think this headache is starting to toy with me!

Since staring at the computer screen isn't helping me at all, I believe I'm going to call it a day. Until next time...

Love & Peace

I don't ever wanna feel, like I did that day...

This just feels like one of those majorly slacking weeks where we're not going to sew at all. Considering we sewed until our fingers bled last week, I think we've earned this week off, lol. Although, I do like keeping up with things and I also like trying to sew up all the fleece we have and (hopefully) sell it so that we can order more.

Actually, we already did order more fleece. There was a killer awesome sale going on, so it was really hard to pass up. It's so hard to wait on fleece. I want it SO bad, lol.

As soon as I got home from work last night, LaVaughn and I decided to trim all the joeys' nails. They needed it. We try to wait and trim their little ones nails until they're around 6 weeks OOP. Of course, everyone's different and you can do it sooner, but we both prefer to wait. We also managed to get a couple cute pictures of them in the process.

Since we have so many glider nails to trim now, we decided to break them all up into small groups to do over the next couple days. Today, we trimmed Boone, Avon, and Hadley. We decided to trim those three and carry them around because they need the most one-on-one attention. Avon's alone all the time, so he needs it the most. Boone has Chloe, but he was a super crabby joey, so he's taking a little time to warm up to us. He is getting LOADS better though. Hardly any crabs now! And Hadley is just a complete angel. It's going to be so terribly hard to let her go. :(

And finally, I was able to get pictures of some of the older babies! Like I said before, since we have so many now, it's easier to break them down into groups!

Well, I suppose that's all for now. LaVaughn and I have to jot to town for some things. No telling what we'll drag home. As long as it's not an animal, I'm happy. Until next time...
