Two wonderful things happened today. First, I got my baby fix and brought back a shitload of Chewlee's clothes to her house. I knew I didn't need them and, with the way she's growing, she should have the chance to wear some of her things that were here. I kept a pair of her jeans, two shirts, underwear, sox and a pair of pajamas. That's all I need to have for one of her sleepovers.
Gunner is so damn cute! He is pulling himself up in your lap and can hold his head up pretty well. And he's just a bit over 2 months old!
The Princess gave me the litany of shots that he's gotten. They have a couple of new shots I never heard of before but the old familiar ones are there, too. I did get to play with him for a bit but then he wanted mama and her boob....LOL. That's a breast fed baby for you! He knows where the food is! I didn't stay for the feeding since he would go to sleep then and I know the Princess puts that time to good use. But I got to hold him and love him. He really is such a little boy already.
The second wonderful thing that happened is....the seepage has slowed down tremendously! I kid you not! I am now wearing just a large bandage on it and that is all I need. I changed it only once today so far but I am just so jazzed over the fact that the area is finally healing, I can't begin to tell you.
I helped the Beast clean our floors today, too. I really love our Shark vacuum cleaner but have one complaint that applies to most of the vacuum cleaners on the market. The hose is too short!!!! I have no idea what they were thinking but the darn thing doesn't even stretch 3 feet... If you stretch it that far, it knocks over the cleaner. The wand is not long enough to make up for it, either if that's what they had in mind. You almost have to carry the vacuum to vacuum up any cobwebs in the corners of a room or anywhere up near the ceiling. Other than that, I love the attachments. They are just fantastic, especially for our laminate floors.
We also have the Shark steam cleaner. Perfect for any floor (well, not rugs...LOL!). It did a fantastic job on the tile in the kitchen and dining area and also the laminate floors. The house looks fantastic and well worth the effort. I admit the Beast carried most of the burden but I did sweep, vacuum and dust the floors (special attachment) and cleaned the lamps, end tables, coffee table and one of the shelves with the fisherman figures that is on the wall by the TV. THAT was really dirty! You could tell it has been a while since it was dusted.
I also found the perfect spot for the new orchid I received for our anniversary. The flowers are still on it and I trimmed it today so that it would encourage the new blooms once these fall off. It's on top of the fireplace. The lighting is perfect! Totally indirect and it is always opened during the day because that is where Baron perches himself...by the front door. The fireplace is directly behind where he plops down. He gets upset if you don't open the door so he can watch what's going on outside. But, as I was cleaning the top of the coffee table (it's glass), I looked up and realized I found the perfect spot for the orchid.
I quickly watered it (it had been a week since I last wet down the wood chips) and then placed it on the fireplace. I am just so happy to have found a good spot. I love orchids. I had a bunch of them on my screened patio and they did great for me. It actually takes a bit of neglect but I watered when it rained outside...just a bit because the orchids can grab moisture out of the air. They ARE parasitic, after all. That's what all those weird roots are for!
We are having cool nights for some reason, although our days are still steamy. But I am enjoying it just the same. The poor Beast was complaining that he hurt all over so he took a bath and tried to soak some of the hurt out. He is trying hard to make up for something he did and I am too upset to discuss it at the moment. Maybe in a week or two. Yes, it's THAT serious. I may never forgive him.
Love you all. Please drive carefully. It's probably Friday when you read this and the end of a long work week (if you didn't get Monday off). ***Hugs***
