Because my luck as of late is wonderful...

Because my luck as of late is wonderful... anyone have any recommendations for someone to repair an HVAC?  It's hotter in my house than outside!  🙁

These are what I did the other day.

These are what I did the other day.  The polish is Swanky Silk from the new China Glaze Bohemian Luster Chrome Collection.  It's a pretty gold / pink foil.  🙂  I wanted to stamp something feminine on top, so hello, swirly vines.  🙂

I'm off to go and do my nails again.  These are chipping.  I've had a stressful few days, so I need to relax and treat myself, if only to a new paint job.  ❤


Teal'c is still with us.

Teal'c is still with us.  I feel better about him today than I did yesterday.  He was more alert and receptive today.  He's still not eating on his own.  Everything that gets in him, gets in him because I make him eat or drink it.  😐

He's gonna be my sidekick until he's better or he dies.  I'm going to put fluids and food in him, as well as bathe him, every two hours during the day, until things are better or until there is nothing more I can do.  I love him.  It's not that hard to take care of him on my breaks at work.  He even seems to like the extra attention he's getting throughout the day.  I'm sure it's more interesting than sitting home in the cage.

So yeah.  If you see me out with a plastic box it's a box full of sickly lizard.  Hopefully, sickly lizard who's on the mend.  ❤

Teal'c is hanging in there.

Teal'c is hanging in there.  I honestly didn't expect him to be alive when I got up, but he is.  ❤❤❤

Rough night all around.

Rough night all around.  Before I went to get bugs I tried to feed Teal'c.  He was almost completely unresponsive.  🙁  This morning he was the same as he has been for a week, so it looks like he took a downward turn at some point today.  So while we were en route to Gadsden I called the vet.  They said that I was doing everything he would have told me to (thank you, Laurel and Emily), and that there was really no point in bringing him in.  That in itself was both comforting and terrifying.  If I am doing the right things, then if he doesn't make it it most likely isn't my fault.  But if I'm doing all of the right things and he's not improving, then, well... I don't want to think about it.  🙁

After I got home I tried to get his meds in him again and failed.  So I cried and snuggled him on the couch.  After a nap, he sprang up and started smacking.  We rushed and got his meds and a little bit of calorie paste in him.  Then he went right back to sleep and hasn't moved since.  I have no idea if that little bit was enough to keep him going, but I hope he hangs in there.  I am trying so hard to keep him alive.  I wish there was something more I could do.  ❤

Ok, not so great things need to stop happening...

Ok, not so great things need to stop happening.  I'm having a cricket / meal worm emergency.  PetSmart is OUT.  The pet store near my house is CLOSED.  I guess I'm heading to Gadsden, then.  😳

I think I'm going to buy enough to just breed my own.  Holy cow.  All of my lizard loving friends... from what I've read I'll have wayyy too many bugs if I breed them myself.  I will totally hook y'all up!  🙂

I spent most of my weekend not accomplishing a lot...

I spent most of my weekend not accomplishing a lot, which was NOT my plan.  We did give Casper his last mange bath (woohoo!), and Shaun helped me medicate the beardie babies.  I did a little bit of cleaning in the house, but never worked in the yard like I should have.  In my defense, it did rain enough to send water into my house, so it's going to take a few days of dryness before I can even get out there to do anything without being stuck in mud.  Ugh.  😐  My grass is going to be so tall by the time I cut it again that it's gonna take a few days for me to do it.  SO NOT FUN.

Also, the tree limb is still hanging in the tree and propped on my cable line.  I THOUGHT that Cable One would be back for it, but I guess they bailed on me.  I'll call again tomorrow to see what's up.  Mom and Bobby came and un-stuck my car for me a couple of days ago, so that was nice.  🙂  At least I've had my car to use.  I hate being a bum.  LOL

Other than that, I've been preoccupied trying to do something that means a lot to me.  I'm so much closer than I've been before, and yet I feel it's so far away.  After sending emails to a bunch of different people this weekend I feel a little better, but it's hard to wait.  I don't want to talk about it just yet, but maybe soon.  🙂

And of course, I did my nails.  Maybe I'll get a photo of them up tomorrow.  😃
