Deathwatch and roadkill

I thought Corky would love that picture.

I feel a tiny bit better, instead of feeling like I keep getting run over by a semi. I feel like I'm laying in the road like roadkill. Guess that's better. hehehehehe

I got randomness today.

In the mornings I have been taking Kiddo, Big J and sometimes his little sister to school. Then the boys walk home together. Well...they have started some after school clubs. Kiddo has computer club on Mondays and he's on a waiting list for Fitness club on Wednesday. Big J has drum line on Mon and Wed and walking club on Tues. So...I still drive them, but most afternoons they have to walk home alone.

Every once in a while Big J's mom gets off early and goes and gives them a ride home.

Well...Big J has been riding his bike on Mon and Wed, so I take Kiddo alone.

I got a nice surprise this morning. Big J's mom called and said he was gonna ride his bike, but then said to send Kiddo over (they live across the street) that she would give him a ride to school. After she did that, she texted me and said she was gonna go ahead and pick him up from school too.

That was really nice, to have someone offer, instead of me having to ask.

Well....I've been on deathwatch since last night. Kiddo's poor little gerbil is dying. She's is way way old, lived longer than the other two, they say the oldest they live is 3 years, and she is at 4 years old. She was barely moving and couldn't even open her eyes last night.

She's in a corner very quiet this morning, but she is still breathing. I kept praying that god would take her quickly, but I guess a lonely gerbil is way down on his list of "to do" things.

I would send Gigantor out to take care of her if she was suffering. But dammit I've had him kill so many dam animals for me. Lots of chickens and roosters, some mice and hamsters. Other such things.

I couldn't face asking him too again, and I didn't wanna hear the stomp. Yes the quickest most humane way to kill a small rodent is to smash that size 14 boot down as hard as you can. He would have done it if I asked, but dam, that poor man. She's laying quietly and not struggling, so I'm not gonna make him.

All I know is I am done with rodents for a while. We have had so many dam hamsters, dwarf hamsters, gerbils and what not, that at our old lot. I started teasing about having a hamster/gerbil garden. I probably had 10 or more little avon jewelry boxes with little corpses in them burried in the back.

Gigantor asked where we wanted to start the new garden. hhahahahhaah I told him the trash. Not to be mean, but that fricken rat dog of mine, digs up every fricken thing. She has found bones that my mothers dogs burried probably 10 years ago. grrrrr A little gerbil corpse would be a tasty snack for her.

Okay....I need more meds, cuz the fever is coming back. ugggghhh I need lunch too.

My toes and fingers and nose is cold. Maybe a blanket.

Hope you all are doing well and have a great Wednesday.
