Puppies, Housework and the Desire to Color . . .

At least my desire to be creative has come back I was worried there for a while.  Finished my jungle piece, a lot of people on my groups liked it so I'm glad it came out ok.  Got some of the house swept I need to mop pretty badly but will do that in a bit down the road.  I'm hoping people start coming around tomorrow to get some of this stuff done.   Get the yard in the range of being picked up, get the trash hauled off and cleared.  I'll do some of that myself I'm loving getting outside these days it's definitely going into spring now, no more freezing temps.  Sunshine and warmth the whole way.  About the puppies.  Well, you know Annie had six, and she bit a social worker so she's quarantined until Monday.  Well, her pups need to be fed.  They are going into their 4th week.  They are doing well, there was one that was failing but I think I have her on the mend she got up this morning raring to go and for the first time ate at the plate with her brothers and sisters.  I know this is a shitty thing to say but, I wish we could keep her and her sister that was born bobtailed.  I think she is going to be a lovely and loving little dog and her sister will be so cute without her tail. We'd have to get them spayed, but I do believe there is a place here that does low cost spay/neuter for $48.  I hope so I'm going to call them and ask them.  More later I do have stuff to do now!

FINALLY !!!

I finally beat level 24 of Panda Pop!  WHEW that was pissing me off.  Life is going on slowly but surely, both Mother and I are sick with food poisoning obtained from food from Jack in the Box.  Last time we eat there despite the coupons.  I hope other than light cleaning I don't have much to do tomorrow I just want to laze around and get back to coloring and reading.  I now have 11 coloring books, 96 gel pens, a new 36 pencil set, second set of craz-arts, and a 30 count marker set.  So on to more vibrant colorings.  I'd like, once we get things settled, to invest in a set of PrismaColors but gods they are expensive.  So I wait.  I'm so sleepy.  Bed early tonight.

This Has Been Such A Bad Time . . .

From one county official to another this has been the shittiest time since late January.  Mark this as the WORST year yet.  We have to take Annie to the vet tomorrow to check her for rabies because she bit a freakin county employee, just nipped her but oh she was on duty so it had to be reported bleh bleh bleh now we have to vet her and quarantine her for 10 days.  So the mess I cleaned up so the social worker could see an improvement will just start all over again.  Most days these days I just want to throw up my hands, pack my coloring books and pens and markers and pencils and just walk into the sunset, never to be seen again.  Mother's mind is getting so vapid she is the biggest nuisance of all.  I literally have to repeat information over and over again in 10 - 15 minute intervals for several hours.  I just don't know.  I saw this playing out differently, better.  But that's what I get for thinking.  We'll see how it goes.  I just want to continue moving forward.  Ever forward.

Continuing Down Life's Road . . .

Things are looking good there is a helping hand on the horizon out there and some friend support I'm hoping to keep up.  I don't know what's going to happen but I know when this is over I plan on some MAJOR MAGICKAL REPERCUSSIONS!  I've had enough of being everyone's carpet so, time to square my shoulders and fight back and fight back hard.  ENOUGH!!!!!!!

SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some time ago we were going to buy a small cabin and have it finished out into a small house.  Well I didn't remember how much they were going to charge us, but BANG, $479 a month for 60 months.  Which, were it finished to begin with I wouldn't mind but for us to have to finish it ourselves is a bit much HOWEVER . . . should I get a job I could have that done a bit at a time, living primitively until I get a good amount saved and find someone who'll do the work.  IT COULD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!  I own a propane stove.  A camping toilet would work for me.  I'm going to keep grousing on this.  If worse comes to worse.  And it just might.

Life and Times . . .

All Gypsy's pups died, the chihuahuas.  All 6 of Annie's are still kicking just over a week after birth, they seem ok, but are whiny.  Peanut hooked up with Rusty so I'm praying the first of the month to get her spayed so she doesn't have puppies, have Gypsy spayed the next month and try to get Sparky neutered the month after, that will help.  Mother is absolutely fighting it tooth and nail, I don't get it she's the one that bitches the loudest about these animals but will do nothing to help thin the herd because it costs money.  I'm tired of it.  I used to think "I want a place of my own where I can have as many animals as I want."  Well, live and learn, I only WANT no more than 4 dogs and 3 or 4 cats.  Currently we have 5 cats (most of which we hardly ever see since they've become outside cats), and 9 dogs.  This is actually an amount we can handle, especially considering the advanced ages of Thor, Rusty and Tiny Tim, those are all pretty geriatric dogs, still able to reproduce though.  Mother thinks the SPCA is the perfect birth control, it isn't.  The six we have of Annie's I bet we're stuck with.

Ah Gods . . ..

Annie had pups last night, at least 6.  Could be as many as 8.  Can't really get a good count.  I have a lot of cleaning and re-cleaning I have to get done today, already started some laundry, my gowns and comforter.  Will have to do 2 loads even if one isn't hung out, we need sheets.  Life's a bitch these days I tell you.  Sick of puppies and dogs, these are going to the SPCA as soon as we can get them there, Annie too if Mother doesn't allow me to get her spayed.  I hope our 'visitors' don't come any time soon but they will probably at the weakest possible moment.  But I'm trying to be ready for them.  This is so exhausting.  So much needs be done.

Finally get home from town at 4:20 p.m. to read this:
