We have to empty the kitchen and bathrooms, someone in the building complained about roaches. 
So every cabinet had to be emptied and appliances pulled out or removed if possible, and only he and I were home to do it.
We discussed the birds in great detail. He doesn't even want them, and is actually really upset with his girlfriend, our other roomie, for having them at all since she pays no attention to them. He also said that I and my boyfriend should in no way be responsible for them and he, at least, doesn't expect us to be, which is a big load off of my mind (and was brought up at all because I was attempting to buy them a new toy today but couldn't find one that would fit in their cage, which he also said he is buying a new one because his girlfriend doesn't seem to get the concept that the one they are in is way too tiny even for one of them).
I have a feeling this next year is going to be MUCH better, and much smoother. He appreciates that I take care of my animal and theirs even when I'm not directly asked (or apparently outright expected), and that I intend to make sure the ferret I get doesn't eat the birds (though he semi-jokingly said he'd look the other way if he ever saw it slink up to one of them on the ground...nature being nature and all :rofl1: ).
He did mention he still wants to bring in a dog. I'm over that at this point, and am allowed to have my ferret without argument, so I can wait on a dog. He wants a Great Dane though, but said he plans to wait until we're just here a few more months. He even has a good breeder picked out (he looked up the breeder checklist I suggested and everything!) and is well-aware of their health issues, which made me glad, he has done his research, he deserves a dog if it will make him happy and be taken care of, and he is much more responsible than his girlfriend when it comes to that, I think.
SO MUCH RELIEF. :hail:
In other news, I am sleeping normally again. More :hail: on that front as well.
In other other news, I mistakenly fell in love with a pet store ferret kit today. He was the sweetest guy, has been overlooked at the store because they've had trouble litter training him (though he just seems to go in the cage, they said he doesn't do it nearly as much when he's out running around and will go back to the cage to do it). He tried to steal my ring right off my finger and almost undid my earring, but gave me a kiss on the cheek. I loved him, I did not, however, love his $250 price tag. Forget that. Forget ALL of that. I hope he goes to a good home.
AAAAND I'm done *breath*
