Update

The kittens are growing up, ans fast, I might add. With time, we've discovered that Zoey is indeed a boy and, accordingly, his name has been changed to Zod (aka Zo). Ellis is still a boy... we're pretty sure of that. The two of them have been sleeping with us most nights and waking me up with purrs and snuggles in the morning.

Grimm seems to be doing a LOT better. He's eating and, without the appetite stimulants, he's actually eating wet food and about 2-3 times a day! It's exciting. He'd put back on a little weight and when we check to see if he's dehydrated, he's not... so we're happy that we aren't having to go to extremes everyday in order to accomplish this. Tonight, Grimm got excited about catnip and rolled around on the mat by the front door. He was even playing with my hand as well as a toy! I am a very happy mom. :) As you can see by my earlier picture, he also "tolerated" Zo sleeping next to him, which is a big accomplishment for both of them. Odin is still doing well; he's our little tank and even more so now that he's been snacking on kitten food and gaining more weight. haha!

Work is work. I'm glad I have a job and I'm glad it's not something I have to take home with me every day. At the end of each phone call, I can wipe the slate clean and start fresh with the next call. I don't have to really remember anything (except maybe publication/form numbers) because it's all saved on my computer and I am allowed, and encouraged, to use the hold button frequently. Since it's not face-to-face contact, like Target was, I am able to dress however I want to (within reason) and I can make goofy faces, flip them the bird, or write swear words and NO ONE knows I'm doing it... except for me. :) (and now you, I suppose...) Over half of the calls I have received are considered "Baby Momma Drama." Good times... and with tax season in full-swing, I'm sure I'll be getting a LOT more calls about that same exact issue.

This spring, Sam and I are hoping to have enough money saved up that we can actually DO something to our backyard to make it usable, as well as functional. We're also hoping to clean out the garage and make it more storage friendly as well as have a little money put aside to work on our bathroom, which is still not being used at the moment. If there's time, Sam wants to build me a greenhouse and some planter boxes for my garden... in the backyard. The front yard garden will be for flowers only. :) I think that will be fantastic... and I can't wait!

That's it for now...!

A green house would be awesome to have! If I had an outdoor space I would love to have one, but for now, indoor plants will have to do!
