ran out and picked up the rope light for the quail cage, sale + coupon made it a good buy a $8, did some general toddling about since id drove all that wy, picked up bread form the bakery outlet, and milk from wallyworld, put go juice in my vroom vroom...she was very thirsty!
got home...and did...very little lol
wel actually did kinda a bit...
I put the slip coveres on the couch and chair...I got a great deal on them at a closeout place and they've been sitting, waiting.
they don't fit perfectly but they are removable and washable...lol
I also put my new bed set on my bed. well, all except the bed skirt which will wait until the next sheet change day. its so pretty green and cream with beautiful embroidered roses.

need to find someone with a large enough washing machine to wash my other comforter, that set will be set aside for guests., the comforter is king sied and wont fit in my little apartment sized washing machine :/

put the critters to bed, and put dinner in the oven...

will probably get dishes done and the kitchen cleaned tomorrow...

OMG - she is the cutest thing ever and looks like a bundle of energy. Thanks for the pics of the quail cages, too. I'm not gonna count my chicks before they hatch, but at some point in time I might want to add extras to the mix.

well the loset shelving realy is AWESOME for cage making, :D easy to put together with wire or cable ties

todays been great so far, brunch with E, a little bit of running round, got her digi-microscope set up (I wants one!) an then came home.
managed to get a pendant (wire wapped stone) done for a friend and now im planning on grooming ruby.

also need to clean tallies crate, im going to set up the 24" I have with the ivider, shes messing in the crate and I think shes still got too much room
and id like to get the dogs bathed today too.
and ive still got a sink full of dishes... :/

You've been busy, busy, busy! Did you have to cut any of the shelving material for the quail cages, or did you find ready made pices that were just the right size? I just love that idea!

I tried to plan the sizes around the pieces I had already but I did have to cut some.
a good big pair of bolt cutters (I borrowed a friends 24" set) cut through it with no problems though.
and many places if your buying it new will cut it custom on site for you.

its a lot easier to work with and generaly sturier in long sections than trying to work with "cage wire" too...and less stabby!


last night the temps dropped o 52 degrees....oh fall how I love thee, perfect sleeping weather...
btut the dogs not so muc in agreeance. jasper and ruby were bothhuddled under their blnkets and talie, whos restricted in terms of bedding until she stops pottying in her crate, ws curled up as tight nto a ball as possible.
this means everyones going to have to hve their pjs on for bedtimes form now on.
some ofrubies ps should fit tallie for now, but from what im seeing and reading the breed does ten to be a little col sensitive...didn't even think id have to be paying dressup with a Doberman LOL! so as she grows shell likely be getting her own smallcollection of clothing...a couple pairs of pjs, a couple sewaters and a couple blanket coats.
I may evenhave to get her used to wearing boots because if he does become a service dog whilei don't go out much in winter im going to have to protect her paws for when we do. (salt, slush, sand YUCK!)

rightnow I can telleveryoens chilly because im buried unde a pile of critters, ruby foundehr own spot commandeering a large pillow and blanket, but allie is on one said sprawled on y lab, jaspe istightlycurled up behind my neck, Dusty is curled up on the other sie of my lp, and little milo kitten (the ginger kitten whos stil looking for a goo home) whos NOT a people kitty is curled up next to my other shoulder...
he even spent the ight curled up nextto me on the bed.

aywho.
got up did morning chores.Quail cage #2 gave me 2 eggs this morning 11-12grams a piece on all the eggs out of there so far so were starting to pick up. :D
and then I checked onmy p-lets and theres an egg in the box. id almost given up hope that theyd lay again until spring, but nope she layed at soe point yesterday/last night, this means we SHOUL have a clutch ready and weaned right in timr for Christmas! EXCITED.
my big goal over the next year is to pay down/off my debts, ive got about $1200 left on the loan to clear the land (thanks to an extrea $5 a month payment ive cut my pay off date so fary down by 3 payments! that's HUGE
ive payed down my credit card a bit, down froma $2500 balance to a $2000 balance. trying not to use it at all until its payed way down.
hoping to use the money form the parrotlets to pay down the card some or pay down te loan even more. either way those 2 debts need to go bye bye...the loan is the more expensive one, but the credit card has much higher interest...
if I can pay off the credit card I can put that payment into the loan and get that paid off quicker...
hh the joys of Debt! lol.

otherwise.

supposed to be nice today then rainy tomorrow then nice the rest of the week. Wednesday ill probably start my tire collection work lol.
tomorrow will be mostly a clean the hosue day especially if its rainy...so today ill probably do some dishes and mabe get to painting some gourds :D
