Hey there, O-zies! How are all of you this morning? Aside from being cold, I am actually feeling ok. I slept well, did a morning meditation with positive affirmations before I got up. I had two yummy mugs of coffee and have nowhere I have to be today.
Yesterday's passport excursion went smoothly. I always worry about having the right documents for things like that and I tell to being more docs than needed. But the apps are sent in and we should be all set in a couple of months.
On my way in with my two kids, I had a sweet flashback to when they were little. A mom was walking in front of us, she was holding a little girl, prob 2 years old and her son- probably 3-4- yos old was next to her. He was walking holding a box in front of his face, telling her, "I can't see, you have to guide me!" That is *exactly* what my life was like. That is something that Scott would have done and I would have had no choice but to roll with it. :rofl: I told Gary the story at dinner and he agrees-100% Scott, who thinks he remembers doing something like that. Would not surprise me in the least.
The rats seem to be adjusting to each other quickly. Cait had them switch cages for a few hours in the morning. That was hysterical- the babies were running all over the big cage- it has four levels and they were *everywhere.* It reminded me of toddlers checking everything out with new toys. The BGs were running through the little cage, digging and smelling every corner and tunnel and hammock. Then she put them in the tub again, this time with the wheel and the LOs were loving the wheel and were climbing on the center spoke and then falling when the wheel rotated. The BGs who typically don't care about the wheel naturally had to be involved. At the end of playtime, all 5 of them were squished in the bottom of the wheel, all on top of each other. I think that they are going to be bonded very quickly. I am so proud of Caitlyn, she really works with her babies and you can see the results.
It is also good bonding for us four humans too.
I tried to do online shopping for the past two days but the website kept crashing on me. Hopefully, it will be working today. I can use the app on my phone but it is really hard to see things with my old lady eyes.
I am going to make my mom's birthday present today too. I was hoping that Gary could engrave on one of the seashells that I brought home from the shore a few months ago but the engraver didn't work on the shell. Instead, I am painting the last slats of wood from that wood palette we used for Xmas gifts and gluing the shells onto it in a heart with "Spring Lake 2019" in the center.
It should be a nice "puttery" kind of day.
I hope you all have a great one too!!
