I just want to put it out there...

I just want to put it out there that I'm going to stick with the fosters I have, but I'm going to try to not be so quick to replace them once they are adopted. I keep telling this to myself - to no avail - so I'm saying it to everyone else now.  Short-term deals might be ok, but my dogs need a break... probably worse than I do. I've got one withdrawing and it's breaking my heart. 🙁

I just watched a movie.

I just watched a movie.  I'm starting to think I should just give up on that completely.  I almost never like them.

[I think I just don't like anyone else's thoughts and ideas in my head. I pretty much feel like it's an unwelcome intrusion most of the time. And I'm so picky - if I watch something I don't want it to make me sad or be anything but uplifting and / or funny. I don't need any extra darkness in my life. I don't want monsters, or rapes, or people shooting up, or getting killed, or tortured. I don't like any of that!

We watched Suckerpunch and I think it was not a bad movie. It wasn't extremely disturbing to me, but it made me sick what was happening to the girls. I guess I like fantasy movies more because I don't stop and think, "I bet that's happened / happening in real life. I bet people have actually suffered / are fucked up like this." That does not make me happy. It takes me to a dark place in my mind; the place next door to where I KNOW there are animals being hurt and suffering out there somewhere every minute, but there's nothing I can do about it. Those places will keep me awake at night if I let them so I try to stay away. I don't need any movies taking me there - or even close to there. I feel like no one gets that. I think most people don't equate the fucked up shit they watch with a story that has probably actually happened. But I do.]

I am drinking some Chai...

I am drinking some Chai out of one of my new color-changing cups that Shaun got me and hoping that my head feels better.  Headaches are just no fun.  🙁

Kittens have been officially upgraded.

Kittens have been officially upgraded from a kennel to a cage with a level, and from a cardboard litter box to plastic!  Now they they got it good!  😁  They are playing peek-a-boo over the edge of the ledge.  Too cute.

I got an email from Buster's family!

I got an email from Buster's family - he's heading to the beach soon!  How awesome - he and his new sister Lexi get to go on vacation, too!

Calvin and Cal are settled in.

Calvin and Cal are settled in. Time to move the kittens to a better space, then perhaps clean the g-pigs' cage. Then what? Scoop the poop and mow the lawn? Time to play catch-up!

Been home about 12 hours...

Been home about 12 hours after 5 days away.  It's good to be back.  Missed my mutts like crazy!

I don't get out much and that's the main reason why. It's so hard to leave them (even if you KNOW they are in good hands). Plus, they don't understand. I know it has to be stressful for them, too. But everyone is doing great (ThankYouVeryMuch, Janet), so I'm just happy to be here. 🙂
