Just a day, just an ordinary day...

Sorry for the annoying song title... but it was just an ordinary day but like the song says, a nice one because it's the weekend and DH was home with us. :-)

We went to the Camberwell open-air market and spent the morning wandering around looking at stuff and chatting. For a couple dollars, I managed to snag a piece of ocean agate, a piece of regular pink agate, a piece of rough serpentine from Tassie and a silver/serpentine necklace from Afghanistan. (Same source as my first piece!)

When we came home Nic finished refencing in the garden and putting down the lucerne, moo poo, dynamic lifter etc. to the new bit of garden bed and hopefully that'll be ready to plant some nice beans and stuff shortly!

After that I spent most of the night cuddling and playing with the giggly, smiley, raspberry blowing, wiggly-squiggly little tumbleweed of a child who is getting waaaayyy too good at rolling grabbing stuff! Darn thing is, he's cheeky about it because he knows I thinkhe's so freaking CUTE and terribly clever! LOL

A not so fun note... we've been having "issues" with Isabella. Her most recent seizure was longer and weird. She's also been having some "bowel" issues as well for awhile. We've been having long talks about what to do as we've tried pretty much everything at this point that we or the vet can really think of. Options are pretty limited and kind of crap, so it's been sort of weighing on me for the past several days especially.

Other than that, I'm just mostly tired... another night of L playing pop-up every 30-45 minutes or so and just not getting any good sleep poor thing. I think I might call the chiro and ask if we can't be put on a cancelation list or something. I'm guessing it's a combo of reflux and teething owwies.

No training... too tired, my timing would be crap, so better to leave it for tomorrow despite the dog BEGGING ME to PLLLLLEEASSSEEE train her by sttarrring intently at the darn clicker and whining.

Dinner: teriyaki don and char siu pork. Verdict: Teriyaki is a regular so yummy, the char siu pork Nic did something "artistic" with and it had this really odd flavoring... not bad, not good, just ODD! 8-0

Okay, so I lied.

After I blogged I went and did some training with Cade.
