Happy Mother’s Day! (OK, I realize that this is only going to work for UK Mums, but to any Mums reading, have a great day too).
Well, so far having a great day. My (step) son Myles and daughter Lizzie bought me the most gorgeous little Boofles key ring (mine says “My Keys” on it) so now has pride of place on my keyring, along with my Marvel keyring (yes, I am a geek, and care not one jot!). At least it is now big enough that I can’t lose it in my bag.
Apparently today later on Myles, Lizzie and I are going to watch The Hunger Games on Netflix together – that is the film that they have chosen for me. I really am looking forwards to it very much.
Cathy is settling in very well, today is feeding day so (with some trepidation) I am looking forwards to doing that too. Myles is going to help me as I think for my first go it is going to be a 2 person job. I have the following things to do:-
1 – Get her dinner out of the freezer
2 – Clean and disinfect her RUB (really useful box, where she is going to eat)
3 – Once her dinner is defrosted, pop Cathy in her RUB, and dangle her dinner in front of her.
4 – If Cathy doesn’t take her dinner, I am going to have to brain the pinkie (her dinner) and leave her for an hour.
5 – No dice on her eating? Back into her vivarium she goes.
6 – Whilst she is eating (or not), Myles and I are going to clean her vivarium out and move it around a little for her, as she is one inquisitive girl.
Yep, just because it is Mother’s Day doesn’t mean I am going to renege on my responsibilities as a Mum to Cathy.
Oh, I took a couple of pictures of her the other day, I woke up at 9pm to find Bert the other side of the bedroom glaring at Cathy’s viv. I shall explain further, aided by pictures of course…
THIS is apparently Cathy eyeballing Bert. Oh yeah!
And THIS is her watching Wheeler Dealers. Honestly, they are verbatim the words that came out of Bert’s mouth!
Slight case of paranoia? Methinks so!
So, I am off to finish watching one of the Bring It On films with Lizzie. The things a Mum does!
