Damn.

Damn.  It's POURING down, again.  This is not making my weekend plans look any better.  I was hoping to cut the grass, but at this rate I'll be doing it under a foot of water.  😐  ... Also, I hope my house doesn't flood again.  🙁

Oh well.  It's not like I don't have plenty of other crap to deal with.  I need to sweep and mop the dog floor.  Get the power to my garage fixed.  Deal with that fucking limb, finally.  Fix the a/c.  Get my tanks out of the garage so I can start breeding my own crickets since Teyla eats so much and PetSmart is unreliable.  Oh, and still push food down Teal'c every two hours or so.

Yeah... can I just not do any of it?

I don't think I'm lucky enough to have that option.  🙁

Teal'c showed no interest in bugs today.

Teal'c showed no interest in bugs today.  After some prodding I did get him to eat some organic soy yogurt with critical care and calcium mixed in, though.  He got a couple of big mouths full.  I think he's hungry, but that his meds are making his little tummy hurt.  That should help.

I am still very happy that he ate a cricket...

I am still very happy that he ate a cricket on his own this morning, but the rest of the day hasn't been as heartening.  First break, I could barely get any fluids in him.  Lunch was about the same.  He started looking rather bloated today, so I took him home and gave him a warm calcium bath.  Managed to get his meds in him, but nothing else.  He's clamping shut, and even when I get something in his mouth, he just lets it run out.  It's VERY frustrating.

He's been alert and even active, and seemed to enjoy being out and about today.  He went to McAlister's with us for lunch, later to BAM, and then to PetSmart.  This is him sunbathing during my lunch break.  He *seems* to be feeling a lot better than the other night, but I just wish he would eat or drink for me!  I'm hoping he'll eat another cricket in the morning.  Maybe even more than one.  We'll see.

OMFD Y'ALL...

OMFD Y'ALL - TEAL'C JUST ATE A CRICKET!  BY HIMSELF!!!  😃😃😃

I am so excited that I could just puke.  😃😃😃

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.  ❤
