This past month at work has been insane. We had inventory yeterday so I got to do all the prep work in getting the pharmacy in order. Granted, if people had done their parts throughout the year it wouldn't have been so much work, but that's another rant for another day. And it will come again, I know. BUT! It was worth it! We picked up $51K!! Go us!

That has pretty much been my life the last few weeks. I work, I come home, I sleep, and I watch Boy Meets World and Animaniacs.

Bye bye.

Wow, February is just flying by! Let's sum it up with pictures.



The silver one. Ain't it cute? That green one is actually just one piercing that twists around.



New hair! TOTALLY different from what I've ever had - it's so short!!



Maggie LOVES her little brother so much. They are adorable together. She likes to chase him around and he doesn't seem to mind at all.


I actually let Smoke Monster out of his cage tonight and he just explored all over. It was adorable. I wish he could be cage-free, but alas, he is still a rabbit, and limitations on his house-wanderings still come in to play. He's a sweet boy. *cuddles the bun*


On a final note, money sucks. The end.

SQUEEEE!!!!

I had literally just updated this and Mom came in the house to tell me to get outside - BENRY'S BACK!!!

Tried to get him inside, but to no avail. He looks like he lost a little weight, but his fur grew back and he looks fine and dandy.

EEEEEEEE!!!

Ugh. I was sick all weekend. It started Wednesday with a sore throat and by Thursday I could hardly speak. I was hurting and went to a clinic to get drugs. Turns out it was the flu. Never had it before. Craaaaap. The worst part was the $60+ in medication I got to buy after being diagnosed. YAY! The last four days are a blur of being doped up and sleeping. I did, however, make myself happy by purchasing seasons 1 and 2 of Boy Meets World. EEEEEE!!!

I haven't seen Benry. I am hoping that the original owners realising that Smoke Monster won't be coming back has led them to, you know, take care of him. I really miss him, though.

Here are some pics of Smoke Monster to show how well he's doing.


Maggie is curious, but not amused.


She does better when sniffing.


Lazy. Just like his half-sisters.


He's so cute when he sleeps!


Now I must get back to Pretty Little Liars. SO ADDICTIVE!!

Some big stuff this weekend.

First and foremost, Smoke Monster is a BOY and in perfect bunny health! I took him to the vet Friday to get all checked out and he's fine and dandy. Vet doesn't think he can be much older than two, probably younger, so he still has a full life ahead of him... with me! He is not neutered, though. I'm thinking I should do that for him, but I still have a lot of research on rabbits ahead of me.

He's doing pretty well, too. Very active and extremely sweet. I'm going to get him a bigger cage and a little playpen so that he can have more space to wander, but I have to wait for icome tax to hit.

Speaking of, I'm probably going to lose $400 in overdrafts! YAY! *puke* I suppose the television and unit will have to wait until payday. Ah, well. Such is life.


Aaaaaannnddd... my other Sr. Tech is officially on bedrest until her baby girl arrives. She had to go into the hospital Thursday during a routine checkup for her blood pressure, and as of yesterday, still hadn't come home. She's due the 13th, so it's not too bad. So now my schedule's completely different and I had a long weekend working, so craziness will about this week. But I think I'm set. *grin*


As for Benry, I haven't seen him the past few days, but the night after we took in Smoke, I did see him in the alleyway. I hope he's okay. I miss that little guy.

BUNNY UPDATE!

I went to the animal adoption center Tuesday and spoke with a volunteer. She doesn't think that Benry is molting because it looks nothing like when her rabbit molts. She did mention that it could be a skin condition, which rabbits can get. We talked at length about what to do and such and in the end she gave me a Have a Heart Trap to see if I cold get Benry in and at least take him to the vet to see what's wrong with him. I set it up that night while he and Smoke Monster were outside, but no luck. I did it again last night and actually saw Benry go right up to the trap and eat the food that I'd placed just outside. He sniffed the caging and whatnot and even put his head inside, but I guess it was still too much for him and he didn't go in all the way.

As I was leaving for work this morning, I saw Smoke Monster hanging outside - alone. I've seen Benry by himself countless times, but Smoke is ALWAYS with him, so I was initially a little worried. Smoke Monster was just sitting there not moving, so I went over to him and he didn't budge. I leant down to pet him, which he didn't have a problem with, and just moved down a bit further and picked him up. He didn't struggle or anything. I took him inside, set up the cage and now he's a member of our family. He seems to be doing fine, though I will need to get him a bigger cage. I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow to get him checked out, and while I'm still not 100% sure, I'm betting he is a he. I tried looking but a tail covered the main area, but there are two rather large... ahem... masses on the sides so yeah. I'm going with boy. *grin*

Maggie finds him a curiosity; Roxie doesn't seem to care. He's very sweet and lets me hold him without any problems, but he does get a little antsy after a while.

So that's the happy news!

I haven't seen Benry today. I'm a little worried. Mainly because of finding Smoke Monster alone, I'm worried that something has happened to Benry. Perhaps Smoke's compliance this morning was a result of shock? I'm not sure. I definitely want to find out, though.


Other than that I have been on a cleaning spree since having to disinfect the bathroom liek woah!!1 I'm clearing out a lot from my room, preparing it so that when I get my new tv stand I'll be able to get it all in order. Income tax should be in next week, and I am FINALLY getting myself a nice new television. I'm grateful for the (free!) one I have, but it's definitely getting to that point.

I'm also getting a new piercing (a forward pinna) and new tat (Deathly Hallows symbol).

YAY!

I hope that nobody else ever has to clean up what I just spent three hours cleaning in my bathroom. *shudder*

The toilet overflowed, the bath filled up, and the floor was flooded last night. It started when Mom turned on the washer. The lines were connected somehow and the water coming up was... well, it looked like vomit, but the plumber said it was food. Weird. AND NASTY.

By the time I got home from work it had all crusted over on the floor and in the tub. UGH. Took me THREE FULL HOURS to scrub that entire bathroom down from top to bottom. I bleached the tub twice, scoured the toilet three times followed by a soak/rinse, Swiffered (Wet!) the floor about five times, and while it wasn't affected, I scrubbed the countertop and cleared out all the crap. I still don't know if it will ever be clean again. *puke*


Benry was a few houses down in the alley tonight when I got home, so I managed to coax him almost to our house with some food. He looks a lot worse. He seems, however, just as happy and energetic as always, so I'm seriously thinking - and hoping - that he's just molting. I'm going to stop by the rescue center tomorrow and show them the pictures below and get their opinion.






I am exhausted. Bed is calling my name, except that I have my sheets in the wash because somePUPPY decided to throw up on my bed. Le sigh.

Well, here we are. It's been almost a year since I updated and while part of me is upset by that, I know that my need and desire to be on here isn't as strong because I've finally branched out in my actual life. However, I really do miss this.

Here's a rundown of life:

Mom's been unemployed now for nearly two years. She had a contract job for two months last year, and they called her up again for another contract, but it will only be a few weeks. Still, something's better than nothing. Fingers crossed they'll keep her on permanently.

Work's still great. I've been at Walgreens for just under six years. Crazy. There's the normal problems you get from any job, but most of it doesn't irritate me the way it once did. My other Sr. Tech will be gone for four months when her baby girl comes in February, which means more responsibilities on me. Yay!

Maggie Mae is almost a year old! She and Roxie love each other so much. She's a little aggressive when they play, but I'm sure she'll mellow out with time. She appears to be fully grown at around 10 pounds. Tiny compared to Muffy and Roxie. She's a sweet one.

My HPDFW group is amazing. So much fun with those guys. Meeting up Sunday for some Magiquest. Can't wait.

Still have a ridiculous amount of penguins.

Have acquired a new tattoo and piercing - penguin on my ankle and just the normal cartilidge piercing. I will be getting another tat and hole when my income tax comes in in a few weeks.

Gramma is... well, she has good days and bad days. Her hearing is just about gone. Her memory is awful. We have to argue with her for a week before she'll take a shower and even longer to wash her hair. It gets harder every day.

Right now, however, my main concern is for a couple of bunnies. Last year we had an actual snowfall and this adorable white rabbit began hanging around our back driveway. Several months later a little black one joined him. I've been feeding them since Benry (the white one) starting coming around, because I thought he'd just been left by his owner. Found out our douchebag neighbours own them. They clearly don't care for them the way they should. I've been saying I want to keep them for months, but... well, you know.

But the other night I came home to see this:



Looks like he's been attacked. Definitely hurt. I will do anything it takes to get them as mine. Will call animal control to find out what I can do legally, but right now they haven't shown up.



So, that's my life in a nutshell.

I promise I will update again.

I promise I will update again.

I promise I will update again.




LIFE.

Being able to watch movies instantly from Netflix using your Wii is the best idea they've ever had.

That is all.





Okay, maybe not.

Just got back from the dentist again. Had to have the impression for my crown molded, but apparently there was a teeny bit more prep work to be done. Now I can't feel the right side of my mouth and tongue. I see pain in the future because my teeth keep landing on lip. HA!


Now that is all.
