Writer's Block: The Expendable Sense(s)
Right now, at this very moment, I would give up my sense of smell with almost no argument. That is, of course, under the presumption that my sense of taste would remain the same--unlikely, I know.
We gave Janey back up to the shelter for liability reasons, which, I'm more and more okay with each day. I'm sure she'll find a family who will love her very much. On eof the reasons this has settled so easily for me is because I no longer have to clean dog pis sout of the rugs on a daily basis. This sounds great and all, but we have another pet already. She's a medium-sized brown rat, which Seren has named Yosh. She's very friendly and loves to play. She comes up to lick my hand every time I open her cage. Al gets along with her just fine, but Nika isn't sure what to think of her. It's like she wants to play with her, but she's too afraid because she's so small, or like she doesn't understand what Yosh is, and so doesn't know how she should act around her. It's kind of funny, really. So the livingroom smells like a rat cage. i gues I can deal with that.
We've been half-heartedly trying to potty train Seren over the last few months. She's comfortable sitting on the potty and even asks to do so, but I don't think she's making the connetion with what she's supposed to do while she's sitting there. It's not that I'm in any really big rush to get her out of diapers, I just can't figure out how to help Seren make the connection with the whole process.
But it would be nice to not have to clean up any excrement for a while.
Speaking of diminutive excrement, Stephen and I are on to planning our next spawn. The IUD gets pulled on the 9th and then I guess we'll see what happens. I'm excited to be pregnant again, I just don't want to think of changing diapers on two kids at once. That seems fair, doesn't it? I don't think that's too much to ask.
