Mila arrived today and she is absolutely stunning! Bigger than I imagined too, and very realistic looking. Her only flaws - however mild they may be - are that her head doesn't articulate and her ears stick out a bit. She also has a big ass, LOL. 

The magnetic pacifier she came with is cute since you can't exactly stick a regular one in her mouth with the way she's smiling. Didn't realize she came with so much extra stuff. She's got a stuffed animal, a certificate, a diaper, and a baby bottle. Not sure I'll use the last two things. 

Since Mila is soft-bodied all the way up to just under her chin it shows me that she probably wouldn't look good in any outfit that exposes the upper chest area. She came in a white onesie with a blue and white checkered number 1 on it plus blue and white checkered shorts which is just okay. I switched her to a pink onesie with a rainbow tulle skirt. 

Got another dress for the 18-in dolls. A green one. So now they have green in their wardrobe. They also have about eight pairs of shoes each in a different color but I might get a few more. 

So all the rat stuff is here except for the rainbow wand and the cage. We've narrowed it down to two cages. One is blue and the other is blue and white. The blue and white one has a larger footprint overall but isn't quite as tall. The blue one has a smaller overall footprint but is taller. Since they’re bird cages, we can use the perches as anchors for platforms of some kind to make a shelf for the rat to sit on. So, so far we've got the hammocks, chew toys, and water bottles. After we do a little ratproofing we should have the rat in a couple of weeks, assuming they have a decent selection around here which means that the little guy has likely already been born. It's getting real! 

The hook with the ceramic pink rose above it is lovely, and Tom can put that up later for me to hang my purses just inside the door. 

As for the pink no-show socks - when I first pulled them out of the bag I thought there was no way I could get them on my feet and only my large dolls could wear them but they do stretch quite a bit. I'll do a foot treatment later on and put them on and see if I can stand to wear them around the house to protect my feet from getting chewed up by this fucked up carpet we're stuck with for life. 

Haven't hung up the wind chimes yet but one of them is smaller than I realized it would be. They'll both still look beautiful to see from the kitchen window. I just don't know if I'll be able to hear them because one is small and while the other may be bigger, that window is double-paned. Maybe I'll hear them when I'm sitting at the desk. 

I got this hair removal thing that doesn't work at all. It's the only thing I got that I don't like. It's a tiny coil spring that’s supposed to catch and pull hairs out as you rub it against the area you want to remove hair from but it doesn't work. I say if you want hair removed, shave it off. 

There’s this tri-thermal nail polish on Amazon I want to try. Especially while my nails are long because the longer the better for temperature-changing polish. This one doesn’t require a UV lamp. 

The handyman helped put rocks down at the house behind No Poop. Nothing's been done yet next door and I wish they would just get it over with already, whatever they're going to do. 

I swear a loud clap of thunder woke me up at one point which is why I'm a little tired today but Tom insists all he heard was thunder rumbling way off in the distance and that it didn't even rain. He probably had the headphones on when it happened. 

I couldn't fall back asleep right away because I was stressed out about the possibility of it going on for hours. These things almost always happen when I'm sleeping! But that was all I heard. 

I felt so bad for Tom because the day before yesterday he was in such intense pain that he said he was literally ready to give his soul over to God, LOL. I laughed when he said that but I know the pain he suffered! He said he had intense stomach cramps and was sure he was going to have the runs from hell but never did. Then he felt like he was going to puke but never did. Then he felt like he was going to do both but never did. He just had semi-runs and that was it. 

I've been totally all over the place with the moods. Two days ago I felt fine. Yesterday I had a few hours where I felt a mix of being on edge and kind of down. Today I'm okay again. Just tired. 

Started the 7-day treatment of my yeast infection, but I’m still not sure that’s what it is. I’ve had mild burning coming and going but if I’ve had any discharge lately, I’m not aware of it. 

I messaged C about timing out on his site and getting a hosting error message, along with the intrusive drop-down thing begging for money when he already has an obvious green, glowing button for that but he completely blew me off. I’ve had the feeling for a while now that he’s not very fond of me anymore and I have no idea why. Because I wouldn’t help him more for free? Because I haven’t donated in a while? Something he read in my journal? 

*shrugs* Oh well. I can’t control what others think. I just know I’m sick of his tech problems and all the spam on PB. This site and LiveJournal may be kind of boring, but at least they’re reliable.
