It's pretty unmistakable once you've heard it. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sparky77 switched her room from the one next to mine on the main floor of the house to the guest room downstairs next to Maddie's. That was where we would keep the kittens when the adult female (predator) cats were out and roaming around. Now the room next to mine is the Kitty Haven, and Chloe and Jane are literally bouncing off the walls in there. Rock on, little kittens. Rock on.
Still no cria out of Satine. I don't know, maybe she ate a jackrabbit and that's what's bumping around inside her. Or it could be the fact that Jester makes periodic breaks out of his own paddock and trots down to the front to visit the alpacas. Which not all of them are all so psyched about. ::coughSatinecough:: I actually got to watch him bust down the fence yesterday. I saw him start trotting back and forth the length of his paddock, picking up speed. Then *wham* he rammed his chest into the gate and lifted it off the post, then trotted on happily down to say howdy to the furry guys. It was pretty impressive :)
We're expecting another big storm tonight. This time it's ice and snow. Oh, woe. I hate ice storms. If it has to be both, I'd rather have snow first rather than how it's going to hit here. Dar and I headed out through the dense fog this morning to hit the store (again) just in case we're stuck here for a few days. The fog was because of the above freezing temps and the evaporating snow. There's so much melt going on that it looks as if part of our side road between our house and the big main road (Line 86 for those of you who've been here) is going to be flooded. That could be just the start of the troubles once the temps plummet and that turns to ice covered with a foot of snow. Come on, spring!
I canceled a dentist appointment for today, and Dar canceled an appointment that Maddie had with her doctor for tomorrow. The Alpaca Collective meeting for tonight is being rescheduled, and from what we hear on the radio there are tons of cancellations coming in now. Bleh.
I did hear from my neurologist's office today. I have an MRI scheduled for 2/15. That's a pretty impressive time frame, and all I can think is that the blood work I had done a few weeks ago has some results that pushed me to the front of the line again. He also rescheduled my appointment with him, moving it from 3/27 to 3/5. No complaints from me.
I've been having a rough couple of days in some ways. My muscles are very weak in all my limbs but especially in my legs. They actually gave out on me a couple of times today while I was just standing around. Fortunately I was standing next to something so I could grab on, and whatever it was quickly passed. My hands and forearms are constantly numb and tingling. My gums and tongue are sore and burning, and my teeth are incredibly sensitive to hot and cold. (Which in no way stops me from eating my rainbow sherbet. There are some walls that will not stand.) Then there's the near constant low-grade nausea. I'm thankful that it's just annoying rather than the full-on vomit comet, and Gravol ginger tabs are doing the trick. Still, annoying is the operative word. All in all, I love my neurologist for pushing through the MRI, because that's going to be a big help in clearing all of this up.
I'm watching the returns for Super Tuesday, and I have to say that I'm really surprised at how well Huckabee is doing. Huh. And I guess I'm a Hillary fan, because I find myself being gleeful whenever they post a win for her. Huh again. This is one hell of an election year, that's for damn sure.
And just to prove that I love the kitties more than I love to sleep, I made a little ball out of aluminum foil and threw it in with Chloe and Jane. It sounds like Thunderdome in there :)
