There is some more winter weather heading our way. Snow tomorrow and Tuesday, but it may turn into freezing rain starting tomorrow evening. I was thinking when I read it last time that it said tonight the snow would come, but I was wrong. So I did not err too much in failing to go out into the cold to get eggs and stuff. Paper towels seem to be a necessity with two little ferrets running around. Tomorrow if it looks as if it's getting bad I'll leave work early and go to the store, along with all the other idiots who ran out of things and didn't get around to buying them on the weekend.

I accomplished some stuff this weekend, and I am proud of my little self. We got more paperwork together, the last of it that we should have to gather up for the mortgage loan on the house. I took down Christmas decorations and packed them up as much as I could while being short one box. I sorted stuff on my desk and filed and threw away and went through some other piles, including a file box with assorted stuff. I gathered up aq whole big bag for recycling just from my part of the office. I helped Gregg with a bunch of laundry, including all of the ferret bedding. THey use a lot of stuff, and we try to keep it clean so they smell nicer. He bathed them, together, and they like that, except for the shampoo part. :)

I want another ferret. Sort of. There is one who sounds very nice that a breeder has. He has not been neutered yet, and that's a good thing because they are supposed to be older when they get that done. The ferrets I have were spayed at 4 to 6 weeks of age, the standard practice of the ferret mill in New York state that supplies 70% of the ferrets in the country. Spayed or neutered too young, they are subject to gladular probelms later in life, leading to a shorter life span and they do not get their full growth either. The ferret I am most interested in was returned to the breeder by the people who bought him when they decided they cpouldn't take care of him anuy more. The breeder says that he was very skinny, but now he is quite the opposite. Her ferrets live an average of 8 to 10 years, while the ones from the ferret mill stick around ojnly 6 - 8 years. This little guy is 1 1/2 years old, a very sweet ferret, an albino.

Note: When I have NT in the title of an entry, that means that it is Not True. I like making stuff up, and why not make it up on here? It is my journal, and I'll do whatever I darned well please with it. Also, typoes will be included from now on, free of charge. I have written that before, but then I go back and clean stuff up anyway. I am such a proud creature. The ferrets are: down for the night Weather: cold, with snow on the goround, and more on the way. Unusual for western Oregon. Reading: Pop Goes the Weasel, James Patterson (and I did not chooose it for the title) Listening to in the car: Probable Future , ALice Hoffman
