So my roaches arrived in Birmingham...

So my roaches arrived in Birmingham at 5:51 pm today... and the tracking still says "Expected Delivery By:  February 23, 2013."  I just don't see that happening, somehow.

Definitely gonna take them some food and water, though.  They've been boxed up longer than my last batch.  I bet they are hungry and thirsty.  🙁

Ok, so... I napped. 😃

Ok, so... I napped.  😃

I think I'm gonna move a few things to the garage before it gets dark.  That will make me feel productive!  😃

Worked in my yard a little bit...

Worked in my yard a little bit with mom and Bobby.  All of the wood outside of the fence is now in pieces small enough to move.  It is free to a good home so if you want it - come and get it.  It's nice, fresh pecan wood.

We're gonna have to wait on cutting up what's inside the fence.  It's just a mucky mud pit and I'm not up for sliding and sloshing around in that.  Maybe it will stop raining long enough for all of that to dry up soon.  I HOPE SO!

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my day.  There is plenty that needs doing... I just kind of don't feel like dealing with it.  I guess we'll see.  😳

Got back from the vet with Lowrider a little bit ago.

Got back from the vet with Lowrider a little bit ago.  She's gonna be ok - she's on antibiotics and the vet shaved a little bald patch on the back of her head / neck.  She's missing about a dime-sized chunk of flesh and it was infected.  🙁  I didn't even know it was there until I was getting her by her collar this morning and stuck my thumb in it.  Oh, that was disgusting and I'm sure quite unpleasant for her, as well.  🙁

Anyway, she had a puncture that I cleaned and it's doing just fine.  I guess next time I'll have to check more thoroughly if someone gets hurt.  I don't know how I missed that.

My roaches didn't come today so I guess Monday is the day.  I hope they are ok in a box for that long.  😐

Went to Tractor Supply...

Went to Tractor Supply to get the cats some food.  They have baby chicks.  😳  Their little peepy sounds just melt me.  I miss having chickens.  It's so hard to not just take a few home.

In other news - my other set of roaches left Cali on the 21st and are supposed to be delivered today.  The tracking hasn't updated so I don't if that's accurate or not.  I had planned to just go to work and wait on the post man, but looks like that is not gonna happen.

I gotta get Lowrider to the vet.  Looks like one of her sores from her scuffle with Faith the other day is pretty infected.  🙁

Roachy Posty!

Beginnings of my roach colony!  😃😃😃

Don't worry - I'm not gonna leave them without water.  I'm growing their water crystals right now.

There are supposed to be 125 in here.  They cluster together and hide.  I'm getting about 75 more tomorrow.  Thirty of them will be adult females so hopefully I'll have more babies soon.

😃😃😃


I got my roaches!

I got my roaches!  I got my roaches!  I got my roaches!

They are SO FUCKING ADORABLE with their little mandibles and shit.  I don't know if I can feed them anyone.  😳

Poor babies were so hungry and thirsty when I opened up their box.  I gotta go and get them all settled into their new place now.  😃
