A sigh of relief...

I'm finally able to breathe easy today. I got that phone call that I was waiting on and it was nothing but good news on the other end. You have no idea how stressed and worried I've been the past day. Seriously one of the worst days for me. I mean, it could have been worse, it can always be worse, but it was still bad.

Today has been cleaning day for us. We started with some laundry, vacuuming, and other normal things like that. Then we moved on to our rat cage, which was long overdue for a nice, deep cleaning. While I was taking care of the cage and everything in it, LaVaughn watched all the ratties and even gave them a bath!

Bathing isn't something we do on a weekly basis, or even a monthly basis, just something we do on occasion when we feel the need. The girls all get to play in the water for a little while first, then they get cleaned and put into a nice, comfy place to dry off. Where they're showered with treats for being such good girls, of course.

Since they've chewed literally every cage set item we've ever given them, we decided to pass down one of the gliders cage sets. It was a smaller cage set for our hospital cage that we don't use anymore, so we thought the ratties could use it. It's all pink, so it works perfectly. I'm sure they'll have most of it chewed up by morning, but that's just something you have to get used to when it comes to being a rat owner.

I need to talk joeys for a minute. As I'm sure most of you know by now, Violet is about to pop! I've got occasional looks at each joey and both appear to be little boys. One is already colored up, he appears to be a WFB. The other one is the mystery joeys, he looks to be all white at the moment, which would make him a leucistic. If so, that means both Cas and Violet proved out their hets and are now both 100% leu hets. Only time will tell on him. Their potential joeys could be: WFB, Mosaic, Platinum, or Leu. SO many options!

I'm so excited to see what these little ones look like. They're going to be gorgeous, no matter what color they are. Violet is just one of the prettiest gliders out there, so I know her babies are going to be stunning. Same with Cas, they're just a pretty pair.

I know I was too bummed to talk about our new knives yesterday, so I'll go ahead and talk about them now. We ordered these awesome zombie apocalypse twin swords and they are awesome!! We got them on ebay for, I hate to say it... $28.50. I know that's an insane amount to pay, but they're awesome and I wish we would have bought more, because you can't find them any cheaper than that anywhere! The guy we bought them from is all sold out too. Sad face...

We also got our stilettos in the mail Wed, which are equally awesome. LaVaughn got a skull one and I got a green spiderweb one. They're both pretty awesome, you can see for yourself below.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I need to go get all my crap ready for work tomorrow. I have a glorious 9 hour shift waiting on me. Good times. Until then...

Love & Peace

Then add rats...

Sally would rather be out with us.

I think Chelsea would too.

Emilie has the cutest of cute dumbo rat faces!

Melissa isn't doing too bad for herself in they way of cuteness.

I hate this day...

This day is just... I'm at a loss. Definitely one of the worst days ever! It's all so surreal, a dream. I just want it to be over, like now please.

I can't even enjoy the awesome new knives that we got in the mail today. I'm surrounded by a smothering black cloud of depression, anger, hurt, blight. I don't know where I'll go from here, I don't know how tomorrow will turn out. 

A phone call, that's all I'm waiting on...

And the road leads to nowhere...

Sigh... I feel like such an idiot today, a waste. Not me, personally, but what we did today.

Yet again, LaVaughn and I were on the hunt for a certain computer. Wanna know which one has our panties in such a wad? It's the Toshiba C55T-A5123. It has Windows 8.1, a 2.39 GHz processor, and to top it of... a touch screen. Yes, it's as awesome as it sounds and I want to kick myself for not just spending the extra money in Poplar Bluff and getting the ONLY two that they had.

Of course we didn't get those, though. We wanted to drive home, drive to Fredericktown the next day (where they only had one), pass on that one as well, then come back home. So what were the big plans today, you ask? We were going to drive up to De Soto where they had one, then drive home through Fredericktown and get the one they had.

Wanna know what put a damper on this trip? Well, we decided to stop by Walmart in Farmington just in case they had something of equal value. Well, they didn't, but for some reason, something told me to check online to see if there were any others in the area. Wanna know what I found online? I just so happened to read that Fredericktown was OUT OF STOCK! It completely blew our plans out of the water.

We just decided to go home, we didn't even go home through Fredericktown and pick up our stuff that we ordered.

On the drive back from Farmington to Ironton, I was so aggravated. After all, we did just drive up to Farmington for absolutely nothing! I drove by work to see if Curtis was working, which he was. Long story short, he basically bitched over the phone yesterday when I had to call out because I couldn't get out of my road, which was no joke. So I really didn't want to deal with him.

The trip turned out to be worth it after all when we stopped by Alco where they had the ENTIRE 12th season of Degrassi on DVD for $8!! You can't even find one part of season 8 online for less than $10, so this was a much needed find to make the day not seem like such a waste.

Getting our fleece from Joann's really boosted my spirits. We ordered 4 different prints and 4 different solids, so we have the potential to make 8 different cage sets. I already showed Laci pictures and I'm pretty sure she wants a set out of each of them, which is totally fine with me. Now lets just hope we can sell the rest of them!

Alright, well I guess that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace
