FOUND A NEW CAGE FOR THE CHINESE MOUSE! It was an abandoned budgie cage with birds' diarrhoea smeared all over the bottom; so I Cillit Banged it. Now it's gleaming shiny anew. I put Mouster in it. Wow, can he climb! Normal hamsters make up what they lack in agility in sheer enthusiasm. Surely we have all seen a great big fat tubby golden hammy pluckily attempting circuits of the upside down bar-clinging. Nearly every time they slip and fall, usually within half a minute. Well this one was right up the top for ten minutes and never slipt once, let alone fell... he really does have a "prehensile" tail (ie can hold onto things with it) and can even climb downwards facing down without once ever putting a foot wrong. Amazing agility. Now I'm putting all his nests in there for a furry transfer of homes. But it will have to be hidden come Monday morning when Evilstein promises to apply cockroach spray to every cranny. I told him I'd pack up my books in black sacks (bc the insects like to hide in between things and if I can pick up all my books in one go he can spray behind where they were. I loathe cockroaches and they're still there more than two years since their first manic infestation ...)
These mousey doings are all I have to say. Finding his new home really perked up my day as I've been exhaustedly down ever since forcing myself up at 11am. All I've really wanted to do ever since is to go back to bed ... well ... a bit like a hamster, really ...
Also I've been drinking far too much cyder. Which I shall have to cut down on, I know. But I don't know how I can ... I just wanted to go ro rehab and now I can't because they told me I'm on too much methadone juice and no detoxification plant would ever let me in ... so that is depressing too ... it's all very vulgar. If there's any news tomorrow except my going to Mother Hubbs's for Sunday lunch I will let you know.
BTW in repsonse to your question, whoever it was asked: Mother Hubbs (short for "Mother Hubbard" is not my genetic mother. Really just a friend. Who kind of took me in (took my stuff in more like. For over three years whilst I was at Nutnut Lona's and out on the streets.) Mother Hubbs is one of the best friends I have ever had.
coo!
ReplyDeleteIve never met anybody who loved their chinese hampster as much as you do. U probably are more attentive to it than most people are to their kids.
ReplyDeleteI have to brush my cats teeth. SO THERE, ;)
OMG!
ReplyDeleteU love ur hamste sooo much! Thats sooo cute!
& btw, i am looking forward to the MEMEs. LOL, such a funny name. Anywho, as i was saying, u love ur pet :)
& much respect towards Mother Hubbs. Now that's a real friend!
How did that Placebo song go?
"A friend in need is a friend indeed
but a friend with weed is better"
haha. i always laugh out loud at those words :D
thanx for visiting me, hope ur hectic days shall be over soon & u will feel harmony in whatever u do :)
there. a poetic ending to a complete nonsense comment. TYPICAL.
It's great that you have a hamster to share life with and that you were able to find him a new home.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need Mother Hubbs in your life, Gleds and it's good she is such a good friend to you.
I am addicted to your blog. I find it so interesting. It's your candor about your addiction that really attracts me.
ReplyDeleteTwo questions that you can answer now or wait and write about later in a post if you feel like it. Or not at all for that matter. Up to you...
1.You mentioned in a recent post that you can not post photos. Why not?
2.I don't know anything about methadone other than it is replacement therapy for heroin. What is the alternative to methadone? In other words how long would it take to go through withdrawals without it?
Your Chinese hamster sounds sweet and you are such a kind man, Gleds. He'll keep you going! Mother Hubbs sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnon: woo!
ReplyDeleteIvy: the hamster is just like a pet wild woodmouse or something. I mean obviously the English wild woodmouse or "yellownecked mouse". American mice with similar names are probably different. I.e. our woodmouse has very brown coloured fur (not greyish like the housemouse) and really poppy beady eyes compared to the elephant-eyed housemouse (I mean eyes in scale as an elephant's are to an elephant's body ...)
Edyta: I can't even think of that Placebo song: though I know the expression well. In giftshops they used to sell a wallplaque reading: "A friend in need is a bloody nuisance!"
PiB: mmm without Mother Hubbs I would not have eaten properly for months on end and would never have been able to keep myself clean bc she's done all my (clothes) washing for me ...
ReplyDeleteM-filer: no photos? BC I don't have a camera. Also I would never post up pixx of myself otherwise I'd end up in hiding bc everyone in real life would know who I am I couldn't handle that...
withdrawal? It comes on within about 12 hours after the last "hit" ... within 24 hours you are generally feeling dreadful. symptoms peak in about 48 hours and level out for about another day ... then gradually they start getting better, fading out in about a week, though you still can't sleep after this. That is HEROIN withdrawal I'm talking about. Methadone withdrawal aparently goes on for weeks on end. Ukk! Which is why nobody withdrawl cold turkey from methadone if they have any say at all in the matter ...
Welshcakes: the hammy is very cute indeed!!
