I am:
-down one rat baby. I expect two or three more to die.
-sad. See above. Also the waiting impotently game sucks.
-sick. Fever & sore throat.
-busy today. Need to go to North Van to meet with my boss, go to the Drive for another meeting re: my upcoming cutting, and had planned to go grocery shopping with mom.
-happy I got to see Paul yesterday, but sad that he's gone again.
-feeling down despite extended cuddle time with Jacob and Esau last night.
(Oh my god. I just looked over at the rats and one of Oak's babies was playing dead. That did not help matters)
-really wishing I had access to all the snuggly boy rats I have at Lizzy's right now. Opal or Hades would clear all this angst right up for at least a bit.
-really wishing Angus was not sick too, but of course he got it first so I'm a day behind him. Seems to be the way things work.
Good stuff:
-at least one foster baby had milk in its tummy, visibly, when I checked this morning. I wish I knew if it was the one I fed or not so I would know whether to try feeding the others or not.
-Angus rearranged the livingroom and it's nice.
-Granville Island is actually a ten minute walk from my house, who knew? And there is galangal and lemongrass and kaffir lime there.
-May have found the beads I want to make cup-marker-jewelery with for Angus' folks.
-Cinderella has paused in trying to kill me through the cage.
-I have a box of actual kleenex in the house.
-The burmese rat girls are trying to distract me by hanging upside-down from the roof of their cage and making funny faces at me.
-Angus loves me.
