Update time..

Betty: Almost seems to be doing better, but also still the same. She's got definite problems in the hind end, both with walking and relieving herself, so I'm still not figuring on a miraculous recovery, but there seems to be quality of life improvement in a way. We're currently pausing the need for decisions. The lack of available cash to do the deed is also a big factor.

The house: On hold until I give a shit again. Still keeping it clean though, since if I don't then I start to REALLY not give a shit.

Crochet: Still not done with the purse, currently thinking through how I want to do the strap, might try something weird... Have been eyeing other yarns/other projects, still want to finish out some things and get them out the door. Having other ideas and wanting to shop, but resisting due to afore mentioned lack of cash.

Limbo: Still sucks, will continue to suck, likely until early October unless something changes. Yay.

Fish: Torn fins all around! (not too bad, but I'm still annoyed) I changed one filter, I'm about to change another, and maybe even a third. This will require a shopping trip, luckily not for anything expensive, but way in the ass end of nowhere I don't want to go. Yay for time wasted.

Kid: Everything is worth whining about. I mean everything. Yup. Everything. If I said I hated the last phase the most, it's because I forgot about THIS phase... My son is the DRAMA KING and don't you forget about it, or he will remind you, with whining! *seethes* I'd like to whine about it, but that would require way too much explaining of the nature of his communication skills as to why I feel like I can whine. Maybe some other time when I feel like feeling sorry for myself. Long story short, change must happen, or this will be the reason we finally sell him to the gypsies.

What else is there?: Lots of things I don't feel like going into. Some really good, some kinda bad. Brain feeling very full. There's people I want to connect with, and I'm being a loser and sucking cheese at it because of the drowning feeling I get trying to keep in control of my surroundings. I need to learn how to balance myself better, ironic considering Libras are supposed to be all about the balancing. I'm learning, I'll get there...

An excellent point!! I love the way your mind works *evil grins*

Hey, did I already know you were a Libra too and I'm just a complete doof and forgot? That seems quite likely.

And you're not alone on the kid-whining front. My little monster has been doing that a lot lately as well. EVERYTHING needs to be whined at/ignored/flatly refused before he'll do anything anymore. Good plan with the gypsies though. At least you'd get something for K. I'm about ready to let Jet be raised by a pack of wolves, but there's no monetary return there, so yeah, gypsies might be a better idea.

Glad to hear Betty is doing better. She's a sweet pup.

We're having fin issues, too.
I need to do a water change on the algae-laden betta pot (the water lily never thrived to get enough leaves out to shade the pot adequately, and subsequently, I'm harvesting algae for the compost pile. At least it has a use, eh?

And I think Benny the fantail is having problems, but he's gotten so skittish in the barrel I hardly see him anymore. Damn that neighbor's cat.

"He's so sweet," she says, "He shouldn't bother anybody," she says... Yeah, well, he pisses on my house and my cats reply in kind; he traumatizes my outdoor fish and shreds the leaves of my waterplants - or just knocks the pots over in the water; and he's dragged something dead under my house and it STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN. Did I mention he's not 'fixed'? Urg.

And why is he an outside cat? "He just kept spraying the house, and I can't have that." Thanks, lady. Thanks.

My husband has a great shirt that we got from the shelter where we got Uhura. It's got a red circle with slash and says "NO LITTERING" and talks about how a single un-altered cat can be responsible for up to 72,000 feral and stray cats, in a very short amount of time... I wish people would actually think about it when they decide to save themselves a couple buck, or whatever dumbass reason they've chosen to condemn lots of cats to starvation and other kinds of bad ends....

The buying price of a blonde haired, blue eyed boy must be pretty high with the gypsies. Wonder what they'd give me for B's kid? Hmmm, maybe we should auction the both of them off on ebay. Like little a little salt and pepper shaker set.
