What's been going on...

So, lots has taken place over the last 10 days since I've blogged. I've had some time to blog, but I'm keeping my mind pre-occupied with other things lately, things I actually enjoy more than writing. So, let me start with the most exciting news (to me).

We found a kitten. I know, I know, we do NOT need more cats, nor do we want more, but some jerk dropped a kitten off (maybe more) next to our mailbox. We were driving home I want to say Thursday before last and there she was. LaVaughn got out of the car and chased her down, then we brought her down to the house.

She's young, probably no older than 3 months and was super skinny. She had some eye irritation going on and started sneezing quite a bit over the weekend, so I called Monday and made her vet appointment for Thursday. Her check-up went good, aside from being a tad on the sickly side, but Heather said she really didn't even look that bad. Her lungs sounded good, so she was almost certain she had a viral infection which resulted in a URI. She's on 10 (I think) days of Clavamox now.

LaVaughn and I both swear up and down that she's Bart's kitten. She looks identical to him, even when he was a kitten. I would almost put money on the fact that she's one of his babies, which warms my heart. I miss Bart so much and think of him often. Even more now, but it doesn't make me as sad as my memories of him. We've decided to name her Clementine, which fits her so well.

Cersei isn't too keen on the idea of having another kitten around, but she does seem to be warming up to her. Too bad Clementine wants absolutely nothing to do with poor Cersei.

Crappy picture, but isn't she cute??

I've actually (slowly) started getting back into sewing lately. I sewed not one, but TWO cage sets last week! It was so much fun and such a warm welcome back into the world of vending when my cage set sold literally two minutes after I posted it. She even bought another, but has yet to pay for it. I cut out a set today that I'll hopefully get around to sewing tomorrow.

Sewing and coffee go hand in hand.

This is the second set I did. It's one of my all time favorites. 

In gaming news -- not sure if you know this or not, but Resident Evil 5 was released at the end of June. JUNE!! Do you realize how long we could have been playing this game?? It's only one of the best RE co-op games out there. As soon as I found out, I ordered it. Resident Evil 4 comes out at the end of this month. I'm dying...


Day before yesterday I had to drive my aunt to The Laser Spine Institute in Saint Louis. Boy what a day! The drive was effortless, but the waiting, that was the hardest part. I think LaVaughn and I sat out in the waiting area for over 3 hours! We watched what seemed like dozens of episodes of Like It or List is (not sure if that's the name) while we waiting on her to come out. 

They had a dining area with free food -- mainly some creepy chips, chopped salad, half sandwiches and several different beverages (mainly hot teas and coffee). I got a coffee at one point, but had to throw it away due to its raunchiness. We left with a couple things of apple juice which we had yesterday. 

My aunt got all of her day one testing done and thankfully she didn't have to go back until today to do the rest. Now all we can do is hope that they'll be able to help her out with a VERY minimal surgery.


Since we were in the neighborhood, we asked Christina if she would meet us and pick up the boys that had to be shipped. Since I haven't really talked about the gliders any, I'm referring to Nanook and Gendry. They'll be shipped to Florida and Maryland this Friday to meet their new mommies. #nervous

I guess that about sums up the past couple weeks. I live a very boring life, so not much can be expected in the way of thrills and excitement when I blog. Hopefully it's enough to keep you interested. Until next time...

Sugar glider joey pictures (from yesterday)!

I got sidetracked with my rattlesnake post and completely forgot to post about the joey pictures that I took yesterday. They're nothing special, as both of the boys are older now and do not like to cooperate. Since they'll both be leaving in a couple weeks, I had to get one more photo session in before it was too late.

Without further adieu...

Gendry




Nanook




Random picture of our hanging plants. I think they're gorgeous:



Growing beauties...

I can't believe how big these joeys have gotten, it's unreal. And with our busy day-to-day schedule, it seems they get that big even sooner. It won't be long before these guys will be leaving. Of course, I'm thrilled that they've all found homes, but it breaks my heart each time to see them go. It's going to be especially hard with Nanook, I'm extremely bonded to him. :(

Nymeria will be leaving next Thursday to stay the night with Milli. The following day she'll deliver her to her new mommy at the SGGA. My lovely, lovely aunt will be taking her to Poplar Bluff for us, because we have to go to Cape next Wednesday for LaVaughn's doctors appointment Thursday. It would just be a nightmare to have to drive all the way home from Cape and then drive all the way to Poplar Bluff.

So anyway, that's that. Now time for some joey pictures! Enjoy!

Joey pictures from the 14th...

Yeah, I know, I'm slacking TERRIBLY in the blogging department, but with everything that's been going on lately, I just don't even care. I'm literally inches away from throwing in the towel completely. I just don't have time for this anymore and when I do have time, I'm like "meh". I just hate giving up on something I've done for SO long.

Anyways, here are some joey pictures from the 14th, enjoy!

Joeys and thangs...

It's been an extremely hot and humid evening today, but I braved it so that I could capture a few pictures of the joeys. I didn't include Petunia and Pansy in the lineup, mainly because these photos were taken outside (the girls are too old).

Speaking of, we're going to Columbia, Missouri tomorrow to meet up with their new mom. Never been to Columbia before, not that I can remember, anyways. We also have to go through Rolla, which I hear is a crappy area, plus we have to drive through Jeff city! It's going to be a long and interesting day, that's for sure.

I snapped a couple pictures of some flowers, but that's the extent. I've not been into taking pictures lately, so this was kind of forced in a way. Nothing has been the same since the end of April, it just hasn't.

Anyways, I do not want to go down that road. That's basically all I have to say, I'm not sure when I'll blog next. We're off to Columbia tomorrow, I have to take Sadie to the vet Thursday as well as help LaVaughn cook for the reunion that evening, then we leave for Eminence Friday evening, we have the reunion Saturday, then I have to work all day Sunday. It's going to be a very busy week.
