What's Happening (02-22-20)...Wow, What a Week!

So I'm doing things a tad bit differently this year and will be combining all of my regular weekend posts.  This will enable me to add more content on Fridays and it is just starting to make more sense.  I'll still be linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga's Reviews and Sunday Post at Caffeinated Reviewer.  Both blogs are awesome so make sure you check them out. 

First of all I want to apologize for not moderating or returning comments very quickly this past week.  My Gpa has been in the hospital since the 5th and is now in rehab preparing to return home.  Stupid Uncle is on a river in Louisiana (once again) so I've been handling most of the affairs.  Hopefully it will slow down once he gets back home.  I love my Gpa but he is the worst at saying he wants/needs to be at the hospital/rehab and then demanding to be sent home before he's actually ready to go.  I was cutting deals with him just to get him to stay sometimes.

Apollo and Cassius also had a vet appointment this week - and my vet is still out.  Cass has a sensitive stomach and I feel so badly when it acts up that I wanted him seen so we could get recommendation and ideas.  Worthless!  Basically I think we knew more than the vet did.  Apollo did well with his shots though and he is 14 weeks and now weighs 26 pounds.  Good news though!  Our vet is back on a limited basis.  Right now he is just seeing small dogs until he gets his prosthetic and is used to it, but they agreed to do puppy shots.  Apollo just needs to slow down his growth for the next three weeks - just kidding. 

We finally finished watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and although it was off to a rocky start, it finished pretty strongly.  Needless to say I'm not upset that Season 4 has already been filmed.  We also watched a horror movie (well, it was more of a thriller) called VFW.  It's about this elderly vets who end up taking on a drug gang. It was super enjoyable.  I'm still watching The Outsider on HBO and actually finding it pretty slow.  Mr. Barb is counting the weeks until it is off.  The Walking Dead starts back up this Sunday and I'm hoping they put that show out of its misery soon so I don't feel obligated to watch.

I need to finish three more books before the month is out.  Riverdale: The Maple Murders is about 40% done and A Murderous Relation is about 12% done.  I've not started Wither but hey, I'm optimistic - I can do it!

I actually got a few library books this week so I'm going to share them instead of the two review books I received.  I'll just add them next week.  Remember, this is from two different library systems and I can keep them close to 12 weeks.  Will I get them all read?  Probably not, but hey, I'll have fun trying!

So I'll leave you with some more thoughts from Cassius on this episode of....

STUPID S**T MY BROTHER DOES:

1.  Remember how he was eating dirt?  Well, he still does.  But I've also noticed he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth.  Bottle caps, grass, paper, people's trash when we're walking, and dare I say, one of Mom's books!  Seriously son, don't you know where some of that stuff has been?

2.  He does flip flops.  He will run so fast and he's in what Mom calls "the awkward stage."  I'm pretty sure I never went through that stage but man, he gets going so fast sometimes that he gets tripped, flip flops and then keeps right on going.  He looks like a darn slinky.

3.  He's losing his teeth!  Mom and Dad say they're baby teeth and he will get replacements.  Won't bother me a bit if he doesn't.

4.  He takes my balls.  I forgot to add those to the list of sacred toys he better leave alone.  I have close to 15 tennis balls of different colors (some even squeak which are my faves) and he needs to leave them ALL alone.

5.  He sleeps beside me...sometimes...when I allow it.  And sometimes it's okay.

STUPID THINGS MY PARENTS CALL MY BROTHER (aka nicknames):

1. The teethin' heathen

2. Puppyman (like he's some superhero or something)

3.  Pollo Pollo

4. Satan (that's Mom)

5. Nosferatu (Mom again)

6.  Skinny butt
