By far a good day!

Today was a good day really which I'm not getting very often these days. Everything that's going on seems to be taken over all of our energy, time, and good days. So that I don't forget it I'll document it in case I want to reflect on it one day.
We fried fish the night before with a new kind of fish fry and when it mixed with the cup of alcohol I was drinking it must of soured my stomach. So I get up this morning to find that I need to do my bowel routine. Wonderful! It takes way too much time for my pleasure but it's got to be done. Once that was dealt with Jessica and Deza decided to go ahead and give me a bath. I hate baths because I always get to cold from not being able to control my temperature. It seems to me that I get too cold to where it's hard to warm me back up. It could take hours upon hours to warm me back up. I hate it!

I went out to my building and got out Snurble, Nova, and an unnamed boy so while I cleaned up the cages they could play. They had a ball! They ran around, jumped, glided, and cased each other. It was so much fun to me too. I got to interact with them more than I have the last six months or so. Nova is such a Momma's girl that if she got scared shed run into my shirt and hide away. Snurble was skittish of course because I have not handled him much so he wanted to hide down in my shirt too. The other male we thought was a girl so we called her the girl with a bald spot. Well turns out it's actually a boy!

I can see my mom's smile in each bloom from my brand new roses. We bought them soon after momma passed away to help get over the sadness. My momma was a flower fanatic! God, how she loved her flowers! It's so hard to believe that in just a few days it will be three months without her here with me. I know that time can help null the pain I feel but it won't ever be the same without her here.
