Sorry I haven't been posting but it is finals week so it has been hectic around here. I have no news on grades so far but I'm feeling confident about half of my classes.

So as far as packing goes, I have been able to pack up the guest bathroom, the rest of the small animal pet stuff, and the fish box but it will remain untapped until the last minutes since I will need to put the fish food I am using now in it. We will also be returning the bed frame to my parents during Thanksgiving so that is one less thing to pack. We will be having an open house type yard sale soon to get rid of a few things which will hopefully take off some pressure. Now I just need to think of more stuff to pack.

In pet news: My poor dwarf hamster Ewok has passed. He lived a long happy life and he was the best hamster. I will miss him. My puppy Chewy needs surgery again on her eye. Both of my dogs are Shih Tzu's and the breed is prone to distichia. Distichia is when the eye lashes grow into the eyes. There is nothing you can do to prevent it and the only way to get rid of it is to remove it with a laser. This will be her second time have the surgery. Mr. Chubbs had the surgery when he got neutered and hopefully does not have to have it again anytime soon or at all.

Well that is all for today. I need to go study I have one more final tomorrow and a 6 page paper I haven't even started.

Cheers

Alright so it is officially November, which means 4 more months until we move. I finished Chewy's tutu and she looked gorgeous (pics will come soon, I promise) and I plan on making many more. I will also post pictures of her in her and Chubbs in their costumes.

As far as packing goes I must admit I have been procrastinating. I packed all of the puppy clothes including the costumes. I did leave out one sweater each. I am almost done with the fish box but I need to pick up some ziplock bags, I don't want chemicals exploding all over the place. I also unpacked a box. With me no longer working I unpacked my craft stuff so I can work on a few projects.

We are trying not to buy new things but with Christmas coming up we will make a small exception. We both agreed that our Christmas gift to each other is the move but we are still exchanging stockings and doing something for the pets. Most of the pets' gifts will be homemade and hopefully I will be posting tutorials on how I made their toys.

With four months being left I feel like I need to really start packing but as I look around I cannot think of things to pack. I can't pack the puppies' stuff, I can't pack kitchen stuff, I can't pack toiletries. So what is there to do? I packed some "summer" clothes but I live in Louisiana which means short sleeves and jackets all winter. The only winter clothes I have are from our trip to Red River, New Mexico to ski two years ago.

I think I will be packing all of our posters and wall art. We have a few pictures hanging up. If we get everything off the wall then we can see what may need to be patched up before moving. However, the walls and carpet were severely damaged when we moved in.

Until next time,
Jenny
