You'll have to wait for me, California...

So I'm having to postpone my trip to California. I know this is very sad for everyone. Don't worry! I'm still coming out! It'll just be closer to October, not August. Sorry guys. I'm not sure of the dates yet so I have just removed the countdown timer and will repost it when I know for sure when I'm coming.

I know all you Californians are broken-hearted that you will have to wait longer to see me but I promise I have good reasons. First of all, my dad has invited me to go on a Caribbean cruise October 4-10. He'd originally booked it for himself and my mom, but now that she's starting a new job, she can't go. So I get to go. If I fly to the States in 2 weeks then back to the UK in Sept, I'd have to fly back to Miami in October for the cruise and that's like nearly £450. I could just stay out in California for the whole 7 weeks, but that's sooooo long to stay out there with no car and I don't think Steve would appreciate me being gone for that long anyway. The other reason is that I have a health issue which needs to be taken care of asap. I've got a doctor appointment the Friday before I'm scheduled to leave and I'm probably going to need to go back for more tests and stuff after that which I'd like to get over with as soon as possible. It's just easier to get it all done before I go. Also, it'd be nice to have the extra time here to figure out job stuff and get that all settled. I'm more than a little bummed that it's being postponed (though the cruise is definitely making the deal sweeter, thanks Dad!) especially since today is the last sunny day for the next week at least. It's supposed to just rain and rain and rain for the foreseeable future. Lame =[

In other news, Chaz has a vet appointment tomorrow. Just a little checkup. Hopefully anyway. He's been quilling and he's nearly done now and still grumpy as ever so I'm wondering if he might have gotten mites somehow, maybe through the wood shavings we used to use or maybe from a fly that got into his cage or something. You never know. So I'm bringing him in to get him checked out, just in case. He's never been to the vet anyway so I thought it'd be good to take him in and have him looked at. He's so getting another bath tonight too because he's so dang cute in it. Hopefully we'll get video this time. I'll totally post it. Speaking of cute, how hilarious is this picture of him on his back? He can't get out of this position and his face gets all fat and it just cracks me up. His arms and legs wiggle and he looks like he's kinda trying to swim out of it. It's so cute. Maybe I'll get video of that too.

Anyway, it's about time to bathe the hedgie so I'm off. Ciao all.
