Sarah in The Ferret Prison



Last month Auntie gave us a present of some money to get something fun with. With the money, we bought a ferret prison.



As you may have noticed only one of the people in this picture is a ferret. Sarah Visiting Prison Warden. Pip prisoner. Alex, is a cat. 
The prisoner is trying to tunnel to freedom by going down the the warden's shirt.
Escape attempt foiled.

If you kiss a ferret, does he turn into a prince?



He may be a prince, but he is also still a ferret


Everyone is cuddling nicely.

Pip is trying to go down Sarah's shirt again. 

I think the warden is hungry

Another Writer Blog


Keirsi's blog.
http://prolificnovelista.com/

Keirsi is a writer friend of Abi's. As far as I know I have never met her. Keirsi is not to be confused with Kiri who lives up here and I know through Melanie.
I find the similarity of their first names to be amusing as they are the only writer I know who are publishing their work.

Easy Street Records and Cafe

4559 California Ave SW (between Oregon St & Alaska St) Seattle, WA 98116 
Neighborhood: West Seattle


This is an awesome place for breakfast food. Good food, fun atmosphere, reasonable prices and easy walking distance from my house. What's not to love? Andrew and I went out for breakfast at the place a few weeks ago. 

Andrew- You're taking my picture aren't you? 
Andrew- You are not a very good liar. I know you taking my picture. 

Andrew - Okay that's enough picture taking. 


The food has arrived. What joy!

It's very strange, the viewership of this blog just spiked up to 71 today. That usually only happens when I post a link to it on facebook. I wonder what people are looking at.

An Interview For Andrew

Andrew has a phone interview on Monday afternoon. It's a job that sounds perfect. He's studying his ass off on FE exam material to keep from getting either nervous or excited. I am really hoping that he doesn't get this cold that I have. So far so good. In the interest of Andrew's health, I should really turn the lights off so he can sleep. I still feel pretty crappy. Better, but not better enough. Also having less and less patience with feeling sick.

Snuffle, Snuffle, Cough and Wheeze

I have a full on cold for the first time in a long while. I've been really healthy the last couple of years. Maybe it's Karma giving me a break because I was sick almost constantly the year before that. Maybe I just got everything that was out there. Whatever the reason I was healthy for a good long stretch.

Now I am sick. I really wish my nose would stop producing so much mucus. Why does it do that? That's really where all my trouble comes from. Despite using the Neti pot, my nose keeps clogging. Mucus runs down my throat. My ear hurts and I wake up at six in the morning to vomit. What, prey tell, am I vomiting at six in the morning? Oh just more mucus. Was the bright green thing boogers or the remnants of the Nyquil capsule? Shouldn't the Nyquil be all gone after six hours?  Maybe I should stop taking Nyquil. Maybe my stomach doesn't like it.
Nah. I think it just doesn't like all the snot I am swallowing when I sleep. My nap this afternoon left my with the same feeling and that was Nyquil free. Concusion: Nyquil good. Swallowing snot bad.
Action: take Nyquil.
10 minutes later
In the process of taking Nyquil, I opened the fridge to get water. In the fridge I saw the olives. Mediterranean olives in a glass jar. I could not resist. Yum, yum delicious olive. Uh oh. Now I smell like olives. Andrew thinks that the delicious olives smell disgusting. Look around the kitchen guiltily. Ah ha! A solution. I will eat pumpkin pie. That will cover the smell of olives. Eat pumpkin pie. Yum, yum delicious pumpkin pie. Oh the cleverness of me!
