kosh
nothing much going on with me other than quicken hell, sentinel hell, and kosh hell…
well, 3 days before I was due to hand my bearded dragon over to jason I decided it would be a good idea to get his meds underway before his trip to his house and having to go through the stress of acclimating to new surroundings so I take him to the vet myself. Since I was going to pay for the vet visit anyway, I figured it would make life easier not having to deal with vet bills later on.
It turns out that he doesnt’ have any worm or coccida problems but does indeed have a lot of ‘other’ problems including dehydration, malnutrition, deficiencies, and mysterious swollen toe syndrome I’m really trying hard to solve now. So once again I am pulling back and not handing him to anyone …yet. I feel terrible about doing that, but I’ve always had good pet keeping ethics and feel really really bad about dropping the ball with him. I feel I need to solve his problems myself and not dump those problems on someone else. yeah yeah, some may think. “he’s just a lizard, for christ sake!” but no, he’s my responsibility for the moment and I need to do right by him even if it’s an inconvenience.
vet also said he’s lived in his large tank for so long it would not be good for him to move to a smaller one especially not now anyway. So I’ve basically done all that work on the 55 for nothing. whatever.. I’ll just have to piece the 55 back together for the fish.. but now that it’s all in peices, I’m thinking I should trade that in for a larger tank for the fish. decisions decisions…

ugh!
i’m disgusted with myself. I went shopping for new shirts this weekend. nuff said.
anyway… I’m on a quicken kick again entering everything and damn! i’m 1 year behind on data entry. will i stick with it this time? lord only knows but i’ll try!
also… I decided finally to give kosh to jason. I have mixed feelings about it but it just has to be done. Sadly, I don’t take proper care of him and he needs to be taken care of properly .. he’s such a cool lizard… but I know he’d be better off where someone can be more enthusiastic about caring for him. My enthusiasm lies elsewhere completely. My days of pet collecting are over. I no longer have a parrot (although by no choice of my own - I would never have given her up) and no plans of getting another, no longer have my gliders, no longer have 4 fish tanks and will soon no longer have a bearded dragon. It will just be our 2 dogs and a few fish in ONE tank. if anything else goes down the line it will be the fish but those, if properly taken care of, is just so relaxing to look at. the fish at work are easy to care for especially since my coworker does most of the caring LOL!
anyway, soon to be hurricane jeanne is on the horizon. I can’t beleive how active this season has been.

still recovering
We still have a lot of fixing and cleaning to do outside before things out there return to how they were.. and now our cable internet connection is flakey as hell. we’re on for 2 minutes, then off for 10. Adelphia said it will be a long while before they can send someone out to fix it.
I didn’t realize how essential having power is to having a “normal” life until it was restored. It’s convenient, it’s comfortable but something is definitely missing. You shut yourself in from the world and crank up the A/C to keep the cool and keep the heat out but you also shut out all the world, all your neighbors and everything. It was nice talking to our nieghbors and it was nice not finding anything else to do but spend time with my daughter OTHER than usual feeding, diaper changing, and bathing..
well, now i put my laptop down more often and just take jada by the hand and let her take me around the house and I go outside with her a bit. She really likes it out there. we washed down the patio so at least now I don’t have to worry about her sticking a dead bug in her mouth. the garden is still a wreck and dirty with dog poo.
I still listen to the hurricane network on the radio just to keep in touch with people up north still suffering without power, water, food, ice, etc. Some of their stories are terrible. One lady called in and said fpl gave her an eta of august 4 because she was “low priority” .. jesus. If we’d had an eta like that, I think Dennis and I would have divorced by then. He can’t take the heat very well and both our tempers were wearing thin. I do miss him not having video games to play, though. what a damn time waster that is. …and so is the TV for me. Now after watching an hour of it, I shut if off and do something else or just think. And I still like to play cards with Dennis and sometimes I ask him to shut off the tv so we can just talk.
Electiricity is nice but… it also detaches you from the world, your family, and even yourself.
