Back in LA

I've been back in the USA for some time now.

I haven't felt motivated to do a whole lot the last few days. I really miss my little family back in New Zealand. Malcolm and my baby rats are all alone now and have no one to spoil them. I feel bad having to be on the other side of the world from the 2 little balls of fuzzy love I had become so attached to. My little star runs for my voice desperately when she hears me on skype... It's enough to break my heart seeing my baby trying so hard to reach me and knowing I can't hold her anymore. 

It is true that I do have my fair share of babies here in LA. We have a large dog, two cats and a bunny. I also have an extended family of fuzz-balls that belong to my friends. Luna and Puck my friends little Dachshund puppies and her larger dog Ahanu. And a giant real life Garfield belonging to one of my childhood friends. All of whom I love like they were mine.  It's 7 am here at the moment and I have no clue what on earth I'm doing still awake.

The day after I got home the above mentioned friends had a welcome home party for me and we had mac and cheese and a huge cake which I will admit did help with the sadness quite a bit. When I got home however my 72 year old mother was laying on the floor in front of the front door having fallen. I have no clue what I would have done without my friend there. My dad and I could have never gotten her up safely without him. She smacked her head on the fridge and came down pretty hard on her tail-bone. She's in a lot of pain (well more so then usual) and is having a bit of trouble walking now.  

It's funny now that I look back on just how many times this same friend has come to save the day in an emergency. He drove me to the ER about 3 times? He came to visit me when I was stuck in a bed with a morphine drip after my surgery 4 years ago now.  O_O omg it's been 4 years WTH?!... Uh anyway... I just have no clue how I could have managed without his help the last few years.

My Dad came from Maryland to pet-sit and visit me when I got home which was also nice as I don't see him much these days.

Hopefully I will get to updating this more with photos of things I cook here. I would like to start cooking more often but that means we need to get food for me to cook with. ASAP I will start cooking and updating way more often perhaps with new photos of random stuff here and there.:D

For now I leave you with this:

End worlds longest blog post...

Thanks for reading...

Again it's like 7:00am I'm sure I made spelling mistakes and typos but I'm to sleepy to be able to tell.
