Quick updates...

Gonna make this update quick because I am pretty exhausted. Let's see, first, my baby Jake came home from the vet yesterday. I didn't actually think that was going to happen at all, but I am glad he is here. He still is not in great shape as his kidneys are failing, but his numbers got a little better with the extra fluids. We have to give him an IV drip for less than 10 minutes a day and some meds. Hubby did the IV today since the vet showed him how to yesterday when he went to pick him up. Doesn't seem like Jake is even bothered by the needle at all, but he doesn't want to sit still for very long which is an issue. Also trying to give him a pill isn't great either and I don't want to stress him out so that's going to be interesting. The good thing is he is eating and drinking and all that. He is getting around fine although he can't jump as high as he is used to and I've made a makeshift step ladder out of boxes so he can get into the window, his favorite spot. My goal is just to spoil him (more) and keep him happy and comfortable. He'll have to go back in a week for a blood test to see if the numbers are still going down or just maintaining (not going higher) and we'll go from there.

I'm very late on my referrals post.. so I'll just say referrals this month were for people with January 5th, 2006 - January 9th, 2006 LIDs. 5 days. No more to say about that, except congrats to those who were finally matched and received pictures of their babies this month.

My mom is still staying with us, maybe for another week or so. My diet is pretty much out the window, but will be back on track shortly. I have no willpower when there are snacks in the house.

I had started working on my closet last week. Here is the progress so far.

So that's where I am at with the closet. What's good is I will still have extra storage behind the shelves for boxes, things that I will probably never have to go get.. haha but will be easy to access by just taking out a shelf. next step is to make another unit to put next to this one that will go to the other end of the wall. I'm debating whether to throw a big carpet down in the whole space or just a runner in the aisle since that will really be the only place I'll be walking. I could always just keep the lovely 50's gold linoleum.. naaaahhhh. I'll probably paint it all too.

Oh yea, my sister had come by the other weekend with my niece and nephew and we went shopping and she bought two very cute outfits for Raven which I still need to take a pic of and will post that soon.

I think that is all for now. Not as quick as I thought. HAHA
