Mike and I have a new member of our family. I told him I had a surprise for him and swaddled our new son for the big reveal. Mike is a big fan of the Rick and Morty cartoon, which I have never watched. I do, however, like the one character. Therefore, I brought him home for us to love and cherish:
His reaction was priceless when I uncovered Pickle Rick’s face. I had custody for the first few days and Mike has had him since. Mya wasn’t a big fan of him, as you can see:
Mike is taking good care of him. Showed him the fish:
Fed him peanut butter and jelly:
And surprisingly, shared his favourite Triscuits while they watched TV:
Yes, we’re weird. I mean just look at our children:
Last week we met up with his sister, brother-in-law and four kids to celebrate their eldest’s ninth birthday. I always joke with him about his age, and say “You’re 16 now, right Elliott?” “Auntie Elizabeth! I’m eight!!!” Hehehe. This is the balloon we gave him:
The card said Happy 16th on the front and we wrote Happy 21st inside. Tee hee!
I’m so glad the weather has finally started to warm up. One of the first signs of Spring is seeing the kitties frolic out on the balcony (it’s enclosed with sturdy screens, so no worries!)
Not too sure where Abby was. They were quite content out in the fresh air, but didn’t last too long. Once back inside, Boo decided to munch on Mike:
And Mya was licky:
All was good in my world until this past Monday. I got my second “bug” in a few weeks. I’m on a roll! Woot! I couldn’t decide if I wanted a cold, sinus infection or bladder infection so I got them all. Jealous? I had to take a bit of sick time this week, mainly because my energy was so low that I couldn’t even sit up straight all day. The sinus issue is a bit worse today but the other things are starting to clear up. I’m just hoping everything is good to go (health-wise and weather-wise) this Sunday, as it’s the annual Walk for MS. As usual, I will (or at least hope to) fly over all three Walk sites in Niagara, starting in St. Catharines. Paws and wings crossed the weather forecast is wrong and it’s going to by sunny. None of this overcast and 50% chance of rain gobbledygook. All these years I thought it was gobbledygoop! Oops. Well I guess it can be whatever I want it to be in Lizzyland. I came up with some zingers the other day. Just out of the blue, I told Mike that I’m Heidi-dextrous. I can use two Heidi’s equally well. Seriously? Where the heck did that come from?!? I don’t even know anyone named Heidi. There are a couple other things that flew out of my yap, but they are not appropriate for my blog.
So there’s my joyous update for now. I will report back soon, hopefully with good news about flying over everyone this Sunday.
Today’s symptoms: Considering the cold and infections, I’m feeling like caca. Even having a slight infection completely wipes out my energy. I always take longer to recover too because of my cruddy immune system (mainly caused by my MS medication). I shalt get better soon though and be all bright eyed and bushy haired again!
