The Compulsive Ramblings Of A Philotherian: sugar glider toys

Well we made it back from our journey to Festus in one piece! I feel like I've been rode hard and put away wet at the moment, but I'm hoping some coffee will soon fix that. It still amazes me how much a drive can take away from you. I seriously feel like I just worked a 12 hour shift on 3 hours of sleep.

Poor Lynsie had to drive on down to Festus from STL (where she was shipping 7 gliders of her own) because a flight she was waiting on with a glider she was getting got delayed from 11:45 AM to 6:30 PM! I felt so bad for her! So even after we met her at 1, she still had over 5 hours to wait. Not to mention a 3 hour drive back home... I feel for her.

LaVaughn and I stood in the parking lot and talked to her for a good 10 minutes before we parted ways. She held Kili (now Mischief) the whole time, then handed us our toys and we were on our way.

Not before making a quick run into Joann's, of course. Unfortunaly, there wasn't really anything worth buying. I mean, there's ALWAYS something worth buying, but nothing that stood out enough to drop money on. All of their fleece was on sale for $5.99 a yard, which is pretty cheap, but they have better. We did end up getting some pink flannel for our Critter Nation cage -- liners, that is. We also grabbed a bottle of coconut lotion, then we were on our way.

I think we must have passed 50 different fireworks stands on the way home, 40 of which I wanted to stop at, none of which I did... sad face. We'll probably end up going back to Fredericktown to pick up a few last minute things before Friday.

I sure hope Kili is being a good boy for her. I can't help but worry if they're going to be little crabby dicks or not. She said he had calmed down -- he was crabbing in the mall a lot -- so that's good. I hope he really settles down by the time she gets home so that she can play with him.

Now we only have 3 more to part with. I'm sad to see them go, but I'll be glad when it's done. These 4 joeys are all over the place, it's exhausting.

Speaking of joeys, Chloe has one, possibly two joeys IP. I know she for sure has one, because I felt and saw it. I'm pretty sure I felt one above it a little, but I'm not 100%. Only time will tell.

Well, I'm freaking exhausted and still have loads of things to do before I can call it a day. Until next time...

Love & Peace

All our awesome sugar glider toys from Lynsie at Lucky You Gliders:

Chow time for the kitties:

And lastly, the flannel we picked up for the ratties:

I love days where we're able to leave the windows open all day, it's no nice. There's just something so warming -- when when the wind coming in is cold -- about having the windows open. The smell of the fresh air, the warm, and sometimes cold, breeze on your face. I love it.

I'm sure that will all change in a few weeks. Soon, it'll be too hot to breath, let alone survive without the air conditioning on. Sigh... not looking forward to those days.

I took some more pictures of the joeys a little while ago. I'm really trying to keep up with their photos this time. It seems like I never took enough pictures of the last few joeys we had here, which sucks. Not only for us, but for the people that are adopting them.

Speaking of joeys, I'm really hoping Kira's new joeys do well this time around. I'm SO paranoid anymore, considering what happened last time. I worry constantly, to the point where I'm sick sometimes. Call me crazy, but that's a price I pay to be the caring animal lover that I am.

If these joeys do make it, they already have homes lined up. The lighter boy, Fili, will be going to live in Washington with his 3 older sisters. I couldn't imagine him going to a better person than Tracy! The darker little boy, Kili, will be going to live with Lynsie in Illinois.

Tracy will be getting him as a trade, either for a creme or a creme het in the future. We're doing a partial trade with Lynsie for toys, so there will be little profit for these boys, which I'm more than okay with. Good homes outweigh money like gold outweighs feathers.

Now on the other hand, I do actually hope we can make a little bit of money off of the twins. Not only will we have to pay for a trip to STL and shipping, but we also need some extra money to put towards the garage so we can finally start our renovation. Not to mention, there's this really awesome present we want to get for aunt Sharon. But, whatever happens, happens.

Oh yeah, I've talked with Taylor a lot the past couple days and she's for sure getting out of gliders. It breaks my heart, but it's going to happen no matter what. Plus, she has her reasons for it. We'll probably meet next week and get the boys then.

And on that note, I'm out. Until next time...

Love & Peace
