Yesterday was good. Busy and full, but good. 😃

Well.  Yesterday was good.  Busy and full, but good.  😃

Shaun drove me to Huntsville to get some hands-on training with baby squirrels.  Kim was awesome, showed me the ropes, and even made up a care package with formula, syringes, blankets, etc. for me.  I'm SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THE NIPPLES!  She sent me home with a good quality nipple and now I know where to buy them, too.  They are not anything like you get at the stores around here.  They come with the holes already in them and everything.  I don't care how doofy it sounds - THAT made my day.  😃

Then me, Shaun, and Shadow went to the space center which was cool.  I haven't been there in about 15 years.  I rode the centrifuge thing and also that thing that takes you up and down.  It was pretty fun!  Also, they let us in for free so who doesn't love that?!

Then we had Mexican food (always awesome!) with Kim and Vicky.  I love you, for realz.  🙂

Then I met up with Laurel and picked up Scooby (a bearded dragon) for Tiffany.  I will call you shortly, Tiffany, and we'll make plans for you to get him.  Your new kid is ADORABLE!  😃

What I need to know is:  Why do so many of the people I like live so far away?!  That is madness.  But thank goodness for the internet.  😃

We got home around 11 last night and promptly crashed out.  One other piece of awesome for the day:  Despite having been home ALL DAY without getting to go out I had no accidents in the house.  I have the best pack of mutts EVER.  ❤

Foster baby Chester...

Foster baby Chester (now known as Bowski) all grown up and in the snow!  There's that cheek I used to kiss.  ❤

Damn it.

Damn it. I just reached into my pocket and there was money in there. EWWW!

Six hours round-trip...

Six hours round-trip and a nervous headache all day and all I can say is:  IT WAS WORTH IT.  😃

I met a bunch of people that I look forward to getting to know and work with and realized a dream that I've been pursuing for years.  I have officially joined the North Alabama Wildlife Rehabilitators.  I should receive my permit this week and then helping the native babies of Alabama will be a thing I can legally do.  I will have people I can call if I need help - and in turn I will be there for them as well.  It's an amazing group and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

I've wanted this for so long that it feels like it's too good to be true.  I don't think it's gonna really sink in until I have my permit in my hands.  Then I will probably FREAK OUT in a fit of joy.  Stay tuned for that post.  😃 ❤

Also, go and like the NAWR page linked above.  They do wonderful things.  🙂

So I was just on my way home...

So I was just on my way home daydreaming about raccoons and minding my own business when I got pulled over by a state trooper for not wearing my seat belt.  But I WAS wearing my seat belt.  It's just broken and he couldn't tell.

So he's totally nice and doesn't give me a ticket or anything, but instead says "You should work on getting that fixed."  And I just wanted to dramatically shout at him "I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG!"  But I didn't.  I just cried the rest of the way home instead.

I gotta go and hug a dog now.

I have been looking for my comfy bra for the last 10 minutes...

I have been looking for my comfy bra for the last 10 minutes.

It's on me.  😳

How's that for comfort?  Didn't even know it was there.  😂😍

(It's a B Tempt'd from Dillard's - professionally fitted.  That makes such a huge difference!)

Oh wow.

Oh wow. I have some teensy roaches. I think someone had babies! 😃😃😃
