ladydraceBad stuff first, because I prefer to end a post on a happy note for a change.
1. Went to hubby's 'workplace' because he forgot his lunch. Co-workers subjected me to lighthearted teasing which I was in no state to handle. So I felt like a loser.
2. Since it was right next door, I went to check out the pet shop where I'd been an intern once. They've become part of a larger chain and redecorated, but the animals were suffering just as much as they always did. The rats had ear mites, possibly scabies and definitely lice. The mice had what I assume was their version of scabies and also lice. Even the hamsters had bald spots. *grr* Obviously, they took NONE of the warnings to heart they've had from animal protection services.
3. Since I'm clearly an idiot, I went to another pet store in the area. It was new and I figured that since they were a relatively small store, they would hopefully be more focussed on the welfare of the animals. Let's just say... no. Same deal with the rodents, with the added bonus of no separation of the sexes. Even the fish were living in horrid conditions. There were some really huge and rare types living in tiny tanks with nothing in them. Not to mention that most of them were simply in plastic bags, never mind a tank.
4. Went to city center and promptly had an anxiety attack. I breathed my way through most of it and made it home, but now I'm exhausted.
Good stuff!
1. Primeval. LOL! The preview for next episode will probably make hubby grin, because he's had real trouble with the title. He's always calling it 'mid'eval. Looks like he was on to something. :oP
2. Bumped into an old old lady who lives in the area and often stops for a chat when we cross paths. I know her name and her dog, but that's it. She was in hospital for a while last year and I worried for her health. I haven't seen her around for almost 6 months, so I was really starting to fear she was dead. But today I met her again and she was perfectly fine. Chipper as always. :o)
3. It grandparents' day at daycare tomorrow and my mother will be going. To my surprise though, my step father will also be going! This makes me sort of jelly legged and happy. I've never seen him as a father figure at all, but I like him and he makes my mother happy. And for him to show this much interest in Pea I am just so grateful! He really is Pea's grandfather, blood ties or not.
4. Bought birthday present for Pea. A little toy suitcase with a pirate pattern on it. :oD Yarrr!
5. Got some writing done.
All in all, not too shabby. But damn, a nap would be good.
