Comfortably numb...

Today has been better than yesterday. Even though my mind keeps me on a constant loop of what happened, things are still better than yesterday.

I still have that feeling of constant worry for the other little girl, who we're naming Margie. The feeling I get in the pit of my stomach every time I think of the joeys will not subside. I wish I could just move past this, I know it's not healthy to dwell on it. I'm trying to keep my mind as far from it as possible, but that's difficult when you're day-to-day revolves around caring for the gliders.

I have to admit, the memories are starting to fade, in some ways. It was still the first thing on my mine when my eyes popped open, then I moved to worry. I worry constantly until I'm able to look in Kira and Logan's pouch and check on tiny, little Margie. I don't like wishing a glider's life away, but I'll be so happy when this little girl reaches 8 weeks.

I spent the start of my day like any other person that has the day off; watching crappy daytime TV. LaVaughn -- who's usually never alive before 2PM -- woke up at 10:30 this morning, I was shocked! I didn't know what to think when I walked in the living room just before 1 and saw her sitting there. Mind you, she's asleep right now, taking a well needed nap. She doesn't function well on less than 5 hours of sleep.

We watched the always entertaining, Steve Wilkos Show. Then recorded Days of Our Lives for my aunt. That show.. that show is something else!

After LaVaughn left me at just after 3, I decided to unload my first batch of 2014 pictures from the camera to the hard drive. So far, 290 pictures have been taken this year. That's excluding the cell phone pictures.

After that, I decided to swallow my pride and hold little Margie for a while. She wasn't exactly pleased to leave the warmth of her pouch, but would you want to leave your 90+ gram mother, father, and brother? Luckily, the warmth of my hand lulled her to sleep. Until I decided to take pictures of her, then she was up and on the go.

I've been hesitant to take any photos of her since the ordeal with her sister, but I don't want to miss out on these early weeks, even though it breaks my heart to only photograph one joey now. I can't neglect her, or push her to the side. After all, it's not her fault that her sister was, well... you know. Margie is a beautiful little girl that photographs wonderfully. I hope the lady that's interested in her enjoys the pictures.

I suppose I better leave it at that. I feel like I need to get up and do something. I already fed the cats, took the dog out, washed the dishes. Maybe I should go ahead and cut up the gliders food and keep it in the fridge until later? I made HPW last night, so that's really all I need to do (unless someone wants to force me to sew, which I need to).

I guess I'll leave it here. Until next time...

Here are the pictures of little Margie:

I completely forgot about these next pictures. Seamus was really wanting some attention around 1 in the morning, so I grabbed him out, put him in a bonding pouch, and brought him in the living room with us. He was more than content sitting on our laps, eating treats, and being loved on. He also noticed the TV for the first time and glared at it with amazement for about 20 minutes. It was the cutest thing. He eventually feel asleep in LaVaughn's hand. 

Sleepy sugar glider. 

Funday Monday... not!

Today has kind of been a sucky day. It just started bad and semi stayed that way. I mean, it could have been worse, of course, but it's just been an annoying day all the way around.

We had to go to town today, which I was completely against, but it had to be done. I hate going to town when I'm in a bad mood, it just makes the whole trip horrid. I know I sound like a raving bitch, I apologize, but coming here and ranting seems to ease some of the stress and tension.

There were two free puppies in town today, one of which I thought LaVaughn was going to get, even though we both know we don't need a dog. I think the lady called them Yorkipoos? I'm not 100% sure about that. They were cute puppies, but I'm sure they would have been annoying little monsters when they got older.

Ugh, I'm SO not looking forward to work tomorrow, but at least I have 3 days off after. That's awesome. I really hope I can continue to get schedules like this, it's awesome just working weekends and Tuesdays.

It's so bad, but LaVaughn and I love watching Steve Wilkos in the evenings. I mean, it's like such a stupid and unrealistic show, but it's awesome to watch and make fun of. It's something we've done for as long as I can remember. We used to watch him at night, but they stopped putting him on at 1AM for some stupid reason. Now we watch him at 2PM and drink coffee, lol.

And of course, we held the gliders again today. Like I said, that's nothing new anymore. Miss Kira is doing SO much better! Her lip is practically healed already. We couldn't be happier about that!

Oh yeah, we decided to release Harley, our duck, back into the world today. He's been cooped up for far too long in that cage. He needs to get some exercise and catch some bugs! He's only been out for like 4 hours, but you can already tell he's having the time of his life.

Well, I suppose that's all for now. Sorry to be such a krone...

Love & Peace

Just look at Kira's lip. Isn't is so much better?

You can hardly tell anything was there. 

Zoe being a creeper.

She was actually watching a bug.

And now she's back at it.
