Co-worker is gone today.
Other co-worker is all "Wow this is really not a two person business is it?"
Meanwhile I'm like "LOOK AT ALL THE ($*@ I'M GETTING DONE TODAY. PRODUCTIVITY. BAM THAT'S DONE. BAM THIS IS DONE. IT'S ALLLLLL DONE. WHOO."
Pretty sad when being down a person improves productivity, but that just shows exactly how much productivity is being lost micro-managing...

Hmmmm....
I'm not clicking with this hedgehog like I had hoped I would be. I thought I wanted an animal that kept to itself and didn't give a flying flip about me, but now I'm thinking that may not be the case. Not really getting the enjoyment out of caring for her like I thought I would.
Trying to decide if it would be an absolutely horrible thing if I placed her in a different home. I mean, I've only had her for a few weeks...but that's enough time to realize you're not quite the right fit, right?

I would re-home her. I had two and they were fun for a day or so. But they're prickley little assholes otherwise. I did not spend much time with mine. And they have a very short lifespan. At least mine did. (Disclaimer: I was about 12 when I had mine so I had even less of an attention span than I do now.)
Well, little miss hedgehog has gone to her new home. She was adorable, and I liked her, but I'm apparently just not a hedgehog person. Being acknowledged that I am the bringer of food is apparently more important to me than I thought.
I'm going to visit a guinea pig rescue on Tuesday and see if I click with a piggy that needs a home. Wish me luck!

Let my brother keep my last foster, which means my fostering money is all gone since I didn't get an adoption fee for her. Now there's a gorgeous border collie girl in a rural Iowa shelter that I can't afford to pull. Stupid brother. He was supposed to spay that dog and get me my spay deposit back so that I could continue to afford to pull dogs, but of course that can't happen in a timely manner. Oh well.
My dad told me he saw a gluten free frozen pizza at the grocery store and I told him I knew, I'd had it Friday. Was relaying to him the (drunk) conversation I had with a friend on Facebook about gluten free pizzas and almost told him "well the only reason I bought that one was because I was in a hurry to come home and get drunk." Juuuuust managed to catch myself and said "come home and... eat dinner."
WHOOPS.
WHOOPS.
Deal made with DH was if we kept Histamine, no ferrets. 
I plan to abide by that....at least for a little bit. I will have them again at some point, just not now. I'll pick that battle up again in the future.
I had Guinea pigs from the time I was 9 years old to sophomore year of college and I absolutely adore them. I think one will fit in quite well. Will also help me eat the fresh produce I want to buy, but haven't been buying, because it goes bad before I can eat it all. Lol Not worried about the cage space, or clean up. Dealt with it before and doing it again won't bother me in the slightest. I'll just need to find the best source for hay...

My rats are super helpful in the excess produce department. I don't like raw carrots, Ryan sometimes eats raw carrots (about the only raw veggie he will eat) so I keep them around. The rats and dogs here eat so many freaking carrots, LOL!
