DESPERADO
I think it's Percival's time to go to ratty heaven in the sky. The poor old man is still doddering around the cage, but I'm pretty sure he's mostly deaf, and he has a nasty looking sore on his tummy. He'd have to be around three years old by now, which is quite a good stretch for a rat, so ah well. Poor Galahad will be lonesome. I have a vet appointment on Friday for Oliver (dog) and Penelope (cat), so I may as well take Percy along as well... get him checked out.
We're broke at the moment - the animals have been at the vet a lot, Oliver's somehow managed to sprain his neck and is on anti-inflammatories, and Penelope has herpes. Hahah. Apparently it's common in the Exotic breed for vaccines to just not work. She's an expensive little thing, with her eyedrops, tablets, powders, injections, etc. She is getting better though. We also just paid a $350 bill (don't ask), the registration for the VW, and just got ANOTHER bill (electricity), that we can't afford to pay just now. Luckily it's not due to be paid until the 21st. I think it's for over $300 as well.
It's a good thing Daniel just started his full-time job today. Yay! :D So pretty soon financial worries should be behind us and we can start saving for a wedding or home deposit or something. He's at work now, and the dogs keep barking. It's dark. I get a bit frightened alone in the house, especially when the bloody dogs are acting like there's somebody at the door. He doesn't get home until nine. I'm bored.
Okay.
Exactly a month since my last entry; fancy that.
