Well, little bitty opossum didn't make it. 🙁 Rest in Peace, tiny guy.

Just got finished feeding the littlest opossum again.

Just got finished feeding the littlest opossum again.  He's been fighting me over eating.  I have to kind of make him, usually, but this last time he sort of cooperated.  I hope that's a good sign.  Little bit has me worried.  😐

Wow. I just checked on my roaches and...

Wow.  I just checked on my roaches and they'd eaten all of their food and water.  I just put fresh in a few days ago!  I am seriously wondering how many I've got now.  😳  Might be time to start feeding heavily from them.  🙁  Or selling some off.

I need to clean out their tote, but I don't want to do it without Shaun around.  Knowing me I'd lose a bunch.  😂  I'll plan on doing it some time this weekend and then hopefully I can get a good idea of how many are in there now.

That is SO EXCITING!  😃

So after that awful coochie digging on Monday...

So after that awful coochie digging on Monday you want to know what still hurts?

My finger where they pricked it to check my iron.  😳

I'm totally glad it's just my finger - don't get me wrong.  But I would THINK that if pain was an indicator my "down there" would have been more damaged than the finger and would still hurt - not the other way around.

It's weird how the body works.  😂

This Memorial Day weekend...

This Memorial Day weekend I am so thankful that my brother survived war and will be home in less than two months.  I can't wait to have him home.  We've all missed him so much.

To all of the veterans out there (and even the ones who never made it home):  THANK YOU.  ❤❤❤

This is one spoiled baby.

This is one spoiled baby.  He went to work with me so I could make sure he got enough fluids.  A little bit before the day ended I heard him calling me so I got him out and gave him some water.  Then I just stuck him and his blanket down my jacket and wore him home that way.  😂  Opossums like pouches so he was happy with that.  He seemed to sleep rather soundly despite me moving around and doing things.  I guess they are used to that.

When I was on the couch doing my nails a little bit ago he was sleeping in his carrier.  That is - until he woke up.  So he started calling again (sounds like little kitten sneezes, FYI - that's how they call their mama) and I couldn't hold him because my nails were wet and smelly.  So Shaun got him out and then they proceeded to snuggle.  This is how the kid fell asleep.  How freaking adorable.  🙂

He's not interested in food or milk of any sort, but I've added some calorie supplement to his water so I'm gonna give him a couple of more days before I get worried.  All of the drinking has flushed out some sticky black poop so that's a good thing.  He doesn't have teeth yet - just gum nubs, but I've got a recipe for some mash that I've made him and I've also got opossum formula.  Unfortunately, for the time being he is uninterested in any of it.  Hopefully his appetite will return soon.

I just painted my nails again.

I just painted my nails again.  And I think I did a good job - technique-wise.  But they are kinda fugly and weird.

I THINK I like them...  😛
