More friggin snow...isn't spring supposed to be coming?

I've been working a ton again...
The weekend was a cross between too long and not long enough...I know that it makes no sense, but that's how it is...
Friday, Mike had his girlfriend over. They went "for a walk" with a sleeping bag...yeah sure...I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, but DH doesn't know this yet...
Saturday he HAD to go over again..pfft. So I had taken down a steak for dinner, I was horny, I wasn't looking forward to driving DS's ass all over creation...so it was sort of shitty all around...Well we wound up actually having the steak and a bit of US time too yeah...bloody red meat is a good thing LOL
Sunday we did nothing...except for laundry. And get all screwed up because of the time change...
Today, I'm back at work. It was raining when I started and by the time I was halfway there it was snowing. That just sucked. It was 50's Friday, 60's Saturday and about the same on Sunday...I was cleaning the animals and it looked like a fucking blizzard...I mean I KNOW it's New England, but SHIT!!!
We're not carrying a bunch of animals anymore and Cuddy did the small animal reset. Once we sell out of the female Rats, and hammies we can get rid of that section of habitats...
But right now, I'm so confused that I had to make myself a road map so I know who is where now...If I remember I'll have to take a pic of how beautiful Bill has turned out for a rat and Eric too. (He's blond with red eyes).
It's so cold right now...I had some cereal that I shared with Obelisk. I added milk and tossed it in the microwave for a minute...so now our gizzards are warm..I think she's feeling the weather too. She's not saying a lot and is a little fluffed up...I can sympathize. I want nothing more than to crawl into bed with a book, and one of those old bedwarmer pans that they used to use to warm the bed up for you.
I'm on book 5 of the Sookie Stackhouse books...oh boy...Then I can start on the Dresden Files...I've found that Hulu has the SciFi series and I found TrueBlood on a mongrel site so I've been watching that.

Argh and more argh!!! Playing Catchup...

It's been a long couple of weeks...argh and then more argh!!!

I've been working a ton and it's not been on my Etsy shop either...pfft. I was gonna work on shirts, but the inkjet printer is out of coloured ink...figures. I completely blew off this past Chickenstock because I had nothing ready to go...I can still do some stamped pendants and some shrinky plastic things...sigh...

But I haven't had the bloody ambition to do ANYTHING!!! this sucks...

I haven't even worked on my story...but I have actually started working again the past couple of days...

Strange dreams too...my boyfriend Nunzi and I were going away with other people and we wound up ditching our so's and hooking up and the boat sank and I lost him...I got rescued, but he wasn't found for too long. A bit later, we met up again and he had brain damage and didn't remember anything...not a good dream to wake up from...

Another one was a bus trip and there were things trying to get in the bus and it was like a Quetzalcoatlus dinosaur/bird critter...very odd.

Obelisk has quit laying again...

I guess we're decreasing our critter departments. In birds we're just gonna have Budgie Butts, down to two habitats in reptiles, and just two habitats in small fuzzy things too.

We went to New Hampshire to meet up with Magda, Kathy and Maria. It was fun. I bought Lindt chocolate that had cayenne pepper in it...Yummy! I bought some shirts to print on at AC Moore's too. No tax up there.

I splurged and spent $17 on the Ap0calyptica Tshirt that I really and truly wanted. It was the one for I'm not Jesus off of Worlds Collide and well here it is:

I looked in 3 different Hot Topics before I found it...LOL Talk about dedication. 20 Years ago, Hot Topic would've been the only place I bought stuff...shit I was Goth before Goth was in...

Last month or so, someone bought one of the coloured male rats for food and then couldn't give him to the snake. So he came back. I took him out of the box and just hugged him...he's a great rat too...
I've just named him Bill and there's a blond one who I've just named Eric...They're characters in the books Magda lent me. The Sookie Stackhouse series that the HBO show series is based on. I'm really enjoying the books. I've finished 3 and there's 5 to go, I think. I found it on the computer and watched two episodes today.

The new ferrets just suck...I think they take them away too soon from their mothers...they're more likely to shred you than look at you. I don't like it when things are biting me and drawing blood. It pisses me off...Itachi nailed me good last week and got me yesterday twice! Fucker. We have Madara and Sasuke left...I ain't gonna miss em when they're sold.

In the past couple of weeks, I've had migraines...damned things...make you feel like you wanna drill your head...then the aftermath when you feel like a dishrag.

We watched the Oscars...Damn! Hugh Jackman can do no wrong...drool...

I decluttered 20 pounds of crap out of the cellar. Yays!
So I felt like I accomplished something...

I held Oreo the bunny that was fed cheeseworms...I have the feeling that s/he's on his/her way out...her poor nose is all snots and she's wheezing...I feel so sad. and I've begged to bring her home, but Ernie's said no too many times. sigh.

On the last day of the month which was Saturday, we went to the inlaws because it was supposed to snow like a bugger on Sunday. That's when the trouble started...
We always take Ernie's Taurus, Smokey. We were tooling along and the check engine light was on. And the steering sounded funny like he had thrown a shoe, only the car version...Tires were fine and we fiddled with the gas cap, but there's something not right, so I made Ernie turn around and we took Xicoh...now Ernie isn't keen on my driving and he needs a shoehorn to get in and out of her because she's so small compared to his. I was ready to throw him in the trunk... Did you see that car? You're going too fast. I can't see out of these mirrors. on and on... We get to his parents and his dad can't figure out how to get his email. Well there's a HUMUNGOUS icon that says MAIL and all he has to do is click on it and his mail will come up...but nope...he can't figure it out...again. Between me and Ernie, we have deleted over 1400 emails that he hasn't even looked at because he can't get in...it's ridiculous. Then my mother in law started complaining about her eye and how she hurts and the arthritis and I was telling her that people half her age have even more problems than she does, but she doesn't want to hear about anyone else...noone's pain is worse, noone's worse off... So we fled...we dropped Mike off at Danielle's house around 2:30. And we were going to get him at 6. We called at almost 6:30 and he was watching a movie. So he got mad that we wouldn't let him see the end of it. But he had seen it before, a few times. So he's giving me attitude about it. Then Danielle's mother's asking why he can't take the bus home and I was explaining about he can't keep his mouth shut and will say the wrong thing to the wrong person and get himself in trouble. And Danielle's asking why he doesn't have more freedom and I told her if he can get better grades, maybe he could get more freedom and priviledges...So now I'm getting aggravated...and Mike's sulking in the other room. We were supposed to call at 6 to say that we were going to pick him up. Now, if it had been ME or Ernie and someone didn't call us when they said they were going to, we would've called THEM...nope that takes too much effort..so he didn't so when we came to pick him up we got the attitude. THEN he says he's not going home. "Get your coat." I'm not leaving. "Get your coat" I'm not leaving. "Get your Fucking coat" I'm not leaving..."Do you want Dad to come up?" What's he gonna do, make me? Now, you do not dare me to do anything...and when I'm getting mad forget it...I gave him one last try to get his coat...You can't make me go....Sure, I can't...I basically bodily shove him towards the door...made him upset that he got pushed by his mother...I think I would've thrown him across my shoulders and carried him kicking and screaming if he persisted. so now he's sulking and not talking to me... I think I'd rather have more chickens...sigh.

He didn't talk to me for two days...not that that's a bad thing...LOL

We had gotten rid of all our snow...and we got 10 inches on Monday...
Sunday was even more fun because I was putting my mug on the counter and I ended up on the floor...my friggin back went out...Ernie had to help me up. Oh that was sooo not fun. It's now Thursday and my back STILL hurts. I've been using a heating pad and I think that I need to keep taking the ibuprofens because they wanted me to stay at work today and I just couldn't...it hurt too damned much.

We'll see what tomorrow brings. Last work day of the week.
