Ok so it's been almost a week since i had my new guinea pig. Me and Tracy named him after. We're calling him Spike for the way his hair sticks up in the front. Tomorow is his first cage cleaning and bath. So we will see how that goes. he's getting rather acustomed to me at this point. He snifs me, takes food out of my hand and nibbles on my fingers, but still won't let me pet him. Oh well all in good time I guess.
In related news i have already decided to build him a bigger cage. I will be building a fairly large cage that will give him much more room to exercise and enjoy everything in his cage. Will be building the cage out of steel mesh squares (normally used for storage units) and the base will be constructed of some kind of plastic or rubber material (probably coroplast) and will all be suported on a wooden table built of the cheepest materials i can find but still of course be plenty sturdy. I'd like to have several levels to the cage and in addition to the plastic house he has and the wooden climbing toy he has, I'd like to add an exercise wheel as well as a real bed. As for other "out of the cage accessories", i need to get some shampoo, a travel case and harness, and a plastic exercise ball for roaming around in.
Ok. So my study materials for the electronics course i signed up for came in yesterday. So i am quite plaesed :) Started studying yesterday and did my first online exam today. Got 100% So i am pleased so far. Seems like the course is ten times better then the course i started but never finished with ICS years ago. So I am looking forward to getting somewhere with the course. Should be fun. Get to build cool stuf like a sound amplifier and all that craziness.
Ok so the quiting smoking thing is going well so far. I am currently on day six of using the patch, and haven't had any seriously bad cravings yet. Already saving lots of money and looking forward to saving even more when i'm off of the patch all together.
Lots of stuf on my wish list right now. On the top of that is parts and components for building a proper cage for Spike and of course more toys for him. Then i guess would be the buying of parts to upgrade my computer, and after that would be an XBox 360, and what ever i feel like after that.
So as for everything else, all is going well. Me and Tracy are getting along better than ever i like to think. She's planning something special soon, so that should be interesting :P Job search has come to a screeching halt as neither of my interviews panned out and i haven't heard from anyone else since. Not worried about it since i have well more than enough to keep me busy right now.
Well thats how things have been. Chat with you all soon.
