As the deck is now complete we were also able to put together the canopy we purchased at Lowes before we even began building the deck. It was a PITA to assemble. Jason was so frustrated at one point he decided to try out for the Olympic javelin team as he tossed a pole across our backyard. His form needs some work. In moments like this I leave him alone because not only will I make the situation worse but he always finds a solution once he lets go of his frustration.
We rearranged the canopy a couple of times to determine the best location. I will need to make some outdoor curtains to cover the sides as we get the hot afternoon sun back there but by doing so we also may be able to combat (HA) the mosquitoes.
We also decided to spoil our pets a bit last week. Teddy loves his face scratched and will drive you nuts rubbing his face against your hands, your legs, your feet, your pen, the laptop, the speakers, envelope corners, the corrners of boxes etc. We were not positive he would like or even use the brush bristle scratchers they sell at Petsmart but we took a chance. He went crazy. I think the picture below perfectly captures his kitty orgasm as he rubbed his chin and cheeks on the brush. 
We also bought Shadow a bed of his very own. He's not allowed in our bed because we would wake up looking like him....covered in black fur. He's a massive shedder. During his May grooming appointment we made the decision to shave his fur as short as possible. We figured out he was getting cold at night post shave because he started sleeping on a stack of blankets I had in the corner of our bedroom. We figured he would like a bed of his own. He loves his new bed. He went nuts over it when we brought it in the house and told him it was his very own bed. He rolled all over it making it his own and more than likely removing the smell of other dogs who sniffed or laid on the bed prior to our purchase.
I had my acupuncture consultation last evening. It went well. The doctor(I'm not sure if I call him doctor or not), measured my meridian channels and determined I was a good candidate for acupuncture. I asked him if our sessions would not only help my fertility but also my migraines and gastrointestinal issues and he said yes. I'm very happy about that. Jason said he would be ecstatic if the acupuncture would keep me from puking when I eat certain foods. I know he would love to introduce pizza back into our life. At the moment the only pizza I thought I could tolerate was CA Pizza Kitchen BBQ chicken pizza but I had a puking session the other week after eating that so I guess that one is off the menu for now as well.
I had to recall moments of bodily trauma which was difficult. I was a tomboy growing up so I can't tell you how many times I sprained an ankle, fell out of tree, wrecked my bike etc. I tried to recall a few of the more significant traumas such as falling off the uneven bars when I was four and smacking my noggin, or the cheerleading incident in which the basket toss went wrong and I ended up splayed out face first on a hard cement floor, or playing Dodge Ball in middle school when Dwayne Moses threw the ball directly at my stomach hard enough to knock the wind out of me and make me spin around before falling on the floor. If Dwayne Moses is the reason I can't have a baby I'm going to spit nails!
Needless to say I guess I'll be taking a loan out against our unborn child's college fund to pay for 3-4 acupuncture sessions a week for the next month.
