I'm giddy with excitment

because Bella Mae seems to be having a good spell! She ate some moist food I picked up yesterday, and actually chose that over 'kibble'. She also ate more moist food this morning! She's seeming to be spunkier and more talkative. I'm so happy :) Go Bella Mae!
I'm tired, my extra hour was pretty non-existent due to coughing and kitties not really giving a hoot that the time changed. Hard to feel like I'll get any better since I can't sleep!

I'm just starting to read Dewey's Nine Lives. I'm excited!

Cordelia Joy is trying to get into her toy cupboard. I had to put a sticky-back piece of velcro on the doors to block her from opening them. You might ask 'Oh why are you being such a mean mommy?' The toys in that cupboard are ones that could be dangerous for her to play with by herself. Feathers, string, and the like. This mama doesn't want to take her baby to the vet because she decided to swallow a foot or more of string off her Da Bird toy. Also, would like for the feathers to remain intact for awhile longer. Replacements aren't cheap.
She's becoming too smart of her own good. One corner is lifting, and she knows that it blocks her from her heart's desire. So she's working at it, hoping in time, to get it open.

Watching the local news, and waiting expectantly for the shelter animals. That is the greatest thing about weekend news. Cedar Bend Humane Society

Other than that...I'm trying to psych myself up for work, life, and stuff. Maybe if I had a cat bed...maybe then I'd sleep better!

Finally

some much needed sleep. Granted I had to sleep in rediculiously late, but the past several days of being woken up at 5 a.m. had caught up with me. Instead of completely playing around, Cordelia actually would snuggle under the blanket with me. Maybe it is the fact I took the belled collar off her (and Bella) for the flea treatments. (ew!)

Fleas...Haven't seen many (thankfully) of course I do not trust them. This summer has sucked in that regard. Really, not too much to complain about, but you know it hasn't helped it in general.

Bought a little cat bed for Cordelia. I had put it in the corner (on the floor) where she will sometimes lie. Well...Bella Mae has fallen in love with it. Where ever I put that cat bed, she is on it. It was on this little stool that my mum caned years ago...I heard all this crinkling and stuff and wondered 'what the?!' Here Bella Mae was, getting herself comfy on the bed on top of the little 'perch'. When she is in love, she is in love. Not that I want her to think I want her sleeping on the floor. >.<
