This entire week has been off. There's just something about it that's not right - a missing element, perhaps. I really do hate weeks like this. The beginning of the year was a bit off, but not anything like the past week. It makes you feel so draggy and just bla. It's not depression - believe me, I know how that feels - and it's not really loneliness, it just something! At the end of the day, I'm just ready to go to sleep and wake up with a new slate in hopes that it's better.
Off of that subject... Taylor is planing on coming down this weekend to pick up Lilah - I know, time flies! I'm a bit discouraged about it, Lilah just doesn't seem like she's ready to leave her parents. It may be because she's the first joey in over a year that is actually leaving at 8 weeks. She seems so young! I'm not sure why, but joeys always end up staying well past 8 weeks here. I don't know what it is. That could be contributing factor, but I really feel she's not ready to leave her parents. I think it would be best if I push the meeting to next weekend.
I almost forgot! First, let me give you a bit of a back story...
Sadie and Pip have been separated since Monday due to a dominance wound on the back of Sadie's neck. A dominance wound/mating wound is something gliders get when they're a little too aggressive with each other during a display of dominance or during mating. This was an old wound of Sadie's from a month ago and now, thanks to Pip, it's opened up again. She's living in a smaller cage and, since the wound is small, getting small doses of antibiotic cream.
Okay, back to my new...
When I had her out applying her medicine last night, I gave her a yoggie and rubbed her tummy. I got kind of freaked at first because I felt a tiny, little bump and no large joey. My heart was racing by the time I decided to rub her tummy again. Gliders will sometimes cannibalize a joey for whatever reason they see fit. As I went back to get a second feel - very gently, I'd like to add - I felt her older joey! WHEW! Then I felt off to the left and felt another joey! A joey that's been freshly dropped IP!
This has never happened before. Sadie does her usual two sets of joeys a year and that's it! So her first little joey will be OOP next month and the following month... she'll have another! It's very possible that she has two newly IP joeys, but that's too hard to tell at the moment. Cause if she does, the larger joey is covering him/her. Definitely exciting news!
That's not all the exciting news I have... Kira and Logan are also expecting!! I was feeding everyone yoggies yesterday and noticed how large Kira's belly looked. I got her out of the cage, gave her a yoggie and proceeded to rub her tummy. Sure enough, I felt TWO little bumps! These two should be OOP around the end of March. Can't wait to see what she has!
Well, talking about all the gliders and upcoming joeys has really seemed to boost my mood. I think I need to go give everyone a treat now, just because they're cute...
Love & Peace

Nothing for myself...
Why must I always feel guilty at the thought of buying something useless for myself? I'm so cheap anymore, it's pathetic. I'll see something int he store and think, "Ooh, that's nice!" but when it comes down to actually buying it, I back out. It's like this massive feeling of guilt falls over me at the mere thought of spending the money on myself. At least I'm not alone here, my sister is the same way.
Now when it comes to animals, it's a different story! If there's something neat that our animals don't have and we think they'll like, we'll get it. Or, for example, if we see two little baby rats int he pet store that need a loving, forever home then there's no stopping us!
Okay, the reason for this rant all because there's was an awesome little bottle of perfume in the store today and we bought it! Yes, we bought it and there's nothing you can do about it! Bahahaha! I apologize for that outburst, I'll try to refrain myself next time. ;)
It's just really funny, because the entire time we were considering buying it, I was thinking to myself, "Man, we could get the animals something with this $4." but I know that's semi crazy. Please tell me there are other people out there like this!?! Please... anyone?
Okay, one that note - I'm out!
Love & Peace

This is the delicious perfume, Yes Yes.
Look at all the colorful candy canes!
You know you want to eat them. :)
Well wasn't that just a big ball of awesomeness...
I made the unfortunate mistake of renting The Walking Dead from Redbox earlier today...
Worst. Mistake. EVER!
The entire time I was telling myself, "How bad can it be, really? It's a zombie game! It has to be fun!" WRONG! I can put up with cheap graphics -- if I couldn't, I wouldn't be able to play old Resident Evil games -- and I can put up with a bad story line. As long as killing the zombies is fun, I'm happy!
As soon as I turned the game on, I could tell something wasn't right. It was just too creepy to be good. I didn't let that stop me from continuing, though, so I proceeded to play. As soon as the game started, I noticed that it looked very comic bookish. I was thinking, "Oh, this is cool. They're paying homage to the comic series." Let me just say that they take their tributes a little too seriously!
That's pretty much what the whole game was like, an in action storyboard. It was awful! They used the real characters from the TV show, which I thought was going to be cool, but everyone sounds so awful! I only got to see Hershel and Bobby, but that was enough. I couldn't even remotely get used to the controls. I mean, if I was forced to, I could -- who would want to play a game where is asks you what moves you want to make!?
After about 15 minutes, I had to turn the game off and walk away. It was probably one of the most unappealing games I've ever played - it was horrible! I can't wait to return this hideous game...
In other news... well, I don't know if this is necessarily news worthy, but I'm pretty excited about it. While I was at the store earlier today, I noticed that there was a section of Christmas stuff that was left over from the holidays. As my eyes gazed upon endless rows of red and white treasures, they stopped at something that I had previously wanted -- and never got... MINI candy canes!
I saw these devilish treats last month, but never picked any up. So this was a major bonus to my day! I'm sure my stomach and teeth will regret it later, but whatever.

As you can see, the majority are gone...
While we were at the store, LaVaughn made an awesome find in the produce section... mini peppers! We live in a very small town, so we rarely ever get good food like this! Peppers are like my favorite food every, so you can imagine my excitement.
Free at last...
Today was the first day in months that the fowl have been able to leave their pin and roam the yard. I don't believe I ever wrote about it, but the demon dog next door (Carly) killed 65% of District 9's inhabitants. I'm not going to rehash about what happened, so take my word that it was awful, disgusting and range inducing. I love animals more than anyone, but if I could have got my hands on that dog, I would have strangled her to death!
Okay, so not going there! The chickens, ducks and turkey all had so much fun today. They ran around eating bugs and grass, it was so nice to see. I wanted to stay outside for an hour and take photos of them, but decided that just a few would be okay and let them be. I definitely didn't want to ruin their first day out by chasing them around the yard with a camera, lol.

He loves being out.
Just look at Mr. Friendly's pretty face!
Camille's such a looker -- and super good bug catcher. :)
She's also very stunning to look at.
Harley, being is pretty duckie self.
And there's Miss Serafina next to him.
That would be Maggie May in front of Camille.
And lastly, our sugar glider girls: Violet (top) and Chloe (bottom).
Just try to resist the cuteness...
I really felt the need to take photos of the gliders a little bit ago. It's been a while (too long) since everyone has had their photo taken, so it was time. I can usually get better photos when I have mealies, but had to settle for yoggies because we're out of the delicious squirmers . Don't get me wrong, they love yoggies - there's just something about mealies that perks them up... I wonder what that could be. ;)
While we're on the subjects of gliders, I'd like to talk about a few other things pertaining. Do you remember our first twin mosaic boys, Smeagol and Deagol? Well I've stayed in touch with both girls that got them. I messaged the girl that adopted Deagol last month and was saddened to hear that she was getting rid of him. Only because she couldn't find an old enough female to breed him with and felt bad hat he was so lonely.
That's great on her part, putting your glider first makes you a great glider owner. That's when I told her that I wanted him back. We talked about things for a while and finally decided on an arrangement. At this point, I'm feeling really discouraged. I have this horrible feeling that she's going to back out of the deal. It makes me fell sad and depressed, but I'm hoping it's just nerves and she's not going to back out.
My uncle -- who is a self contracted OTR driver -- pretty much agreed to pick him up for us. All he has to do is book a load down there and back. Oh, did I forget to mention that she now lives in FL? Yeah, that's the fun part! The upside - FL is only like a 13 hour drive, so it's not THAT bad.. is it? Ugh, I just wish he was here already. I just really hope that she doesn't back out of our deal.
In other, happier glider news... Sadie's joey is getting huge! It only has a couple more weeks of stewing to do before we get to meet this gorgeous little baby! For some reason, I think we're getting another WF male, but I'm not anywhere near sure about that, it's just a feeling. Only time will tell.
Love & Peace
