Mommy Blogging: 31 Weeks & Pink Ladybirds
|
Okay, I went to work on Thursday and Friday because I was going stircrazy, and it is JUST A FLU. My boss was cool with it, and agreed with me, a flu is a flu.
The paranoia over H1N1 is pretty fucked up.
I have never been a "inject" myself with flu vaccine type of person. I hardly take over the counter "medicines" either. Doctors are more "guessers" than anything really. When I get sick, I take care of myself. Normally if I have a fever I sweat it out. FEVER is the best thing for your body. It is your body's way of killing the bad things growing in you.
The only reason I stopped my fever this time was because I know fevers are dangerous to the baby. Otherwise, I did what I always do when I get sick... rode it out. I'm still congested, and have a cough to hack up small bits of gunk from my chest. Really though, if I weren't sick I feel amazing.
 
On Friday I skipped my shift at the RAPS Cat Sanctuary. I just didn't think I would have the energy and good thing.
Instead I swung into Sears in Richmond to pick up my order. My crib mattress arrived, as did my Ladybird crib bedding and the Fisher Price Whale Tub. I got home up packed the crib and bedding and put it together. OH MY GAWD it is the most adorable thing ever. Lydia Jane is going to love her bed. I love her bed.
Today I've washed my bedding - after a week of being sick on my ass, I need CLEAN things. Kitties both left me hair balls this morning. LOL I did what I could but tried to not wear myself down. Fresh air is a blessing though. Windows open. Dishwasher ran, rugs washed now... floors swept and mopped. Dusted. Moved the living room around. Time to make the bed with the fresh sheets... Life is good.

After, I will sit in front of the TV while dinner cooks, and watch Lydia Jane moving around in my belly. It is the most amazing thing to watch her rippling my belly and bumping around in there. I can't wait to meet her. I am so in love with this little girl all ready... I can't imagine how I could love her more but every day I do.

RAPS: Donate, Volunteer... or give LOVE
|
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I have been sick all week, and even though I slugged it through work Thursday and Friday, I am exhausted, and suffering sinus congestion and a nasty chest cough still. Sadly, I felt it best, for my health, to not go to RAPS tonight. I MISS THE KITTIES SO MUCH.
But I wanted to remind everyone out there the kitties are there year round, day after day, just looking for loves. If you can help in any capacity... they would love it, as would the Members of the Richmond Animal Protection Society. Members like me... so THANK YOU.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
[Olive has gone to a Foster home ! YEAH!]
RAPS needs FOSTER HOMES for senior cats.
RAPS has many beautiful, loving older cats that need long term foster care. Many of these animals simply need some tender care, and RAPS will pay for the veterinarian costs, while they stay with you. If you can provide a safe, warm and loving home for a senior cat, please contact RAPS at (604) 275-2036 to find out more information.
RAPS also has many loving animals (cats and dogs, bunnies and birds, you name it) for adoption at the No. 5 Road Shelter.
For more great stories about RAPS adoptions and other tidbits, please read the RAPS BLOG.

The Richmond Animal Protection Society is open to visitors on Sundays from 1 - 4 PM. Bring treats for the kitties and laps for them to cuddle in. Bring LOVE.

The November RAPS Newsletter is now out. Please take a read of the stories about DOG adoptions, check out the upcoming EVENTS calendar, or read about all the various weird cat tails that some of the cats at the Sanctuary have.
Furthermore once again I'd like to remind you local readers, BOTH the cat Sanctuary and the No.5 Road Shelter are mainly run by volunteers, and RAPS is always looking for more volunteers for various shifts - please visit the link to RAPS BLOG for more details.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) is a registered charity that operates two shelters in the City of Richmond, British Columbia. The first shelter, on No. 6 Road in Richmond, is North America's largest cat sanctuary. At this shelter homeless and abandoned cats and kittens are rescued and cared for. Most of these beautiful animals would have otherwise faced starvation, injury, disease and an early death due to the many hazards in their environment. The cat sanctuary is currently home to more than 800 animals. The second shelter is the City of Richmond Animal Shelter, which RAPS have operated since February 2007. In 2006, RAPS bid for and was awarded the city contract to take over operation of this shelter. By expanding to a second facility, RAPS now cares for a wider variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small domestic animals. In addition, the RAPS City Shelter runs a comprehensive adoption program to find the animals at this facility a safe and loving home.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
 I have made a personal pledge page to collect donations for RAPS. I hope to raise money for the charity through this blog. I have all ready donated, and donate monthly. You can set up monthly donations through CanadaHelps or do a one time gift. You can always pick one specific cat at the shelter to sponsor as well, there is a sponsor program (info available on their web site). If you are interested in adopting an animal, please contact RAPS directly.
Every bit helps.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
