I just finished all my Chanukah/Holiday shopping tonight. Sweet! I ordered my holiday greeting cards, too…they should be in by next Thursday, and hopefully I can have them all mailed by the end of that next weekend, the 9th, I think.

One of my female rats grew testicles over the last 3 days. So, either it is a transsexual or was just a little delayed in puberty. This sucks – it means I need to get rid of the new him because I do NOT want 10 little inbred rat babies in a couple months. I will try to give him back to the pet store, if not he may need to become food for something else. Grrr.

Tuesday and Wednesday night were not good to Mr. Parker An. He fell asleep as usual in his crib, and got up his usual hour later. Then went back to sleep as usual, but then woke up again, I got him back to sleep, he woke up again 15 minutes later…and again, and again. Tuesday night he was hungry and giving him a bottle at 10 PM helped. Wednesday night he was not hungry, he just really wanted me to hold him while he slept – and who am I to deny him or myself that treat?!! Tonight, so far, he has not gotten up since he went to sleep 2 hours ago – hence me being able to finish shopping online.
