I took these photos of Nom last night and I could not help myself. 😂😂😂

Hey, my buddy decided to say hi!

Hey, my buddy decided to say hi!

This is why we call him Nom - he tried to bite that curtain rod a few times before I got to my camera. And once I put his food down he couldn't even wait for his pellets to soften up. He's almost as mouthy as a dog. He's currently nibbling cat food crumbs up off the floor. 😂😂😂

He was super walky his first day here, but we kept him in his new house because we had too much stuff in the floor that he could get into. After that he was either sulking or for once enjoying his humid hide; I really don't know which. He would come out to eat and then go back in there, which was fine by me.

I am determined to help his shell smooth out with humidity and proper diet. He came to me lumpy and I think his diet is healthy (pellets aren't his main diet, but were on hand), but he never would spend much time in his humid area. I'm really happy that he is now because that will be good for him. I am also happy to see him out walking - he's acting like his usual social self and that makes my day. 😊

I moved a laundry basket full of plants yesterday.

I moved a laundry basket full of plants yesterday. I moved this little bit today. I'm hoping that one more trip will do it and then I can move on to less important things like clothing and dishes. 😂😂😂

Also, check out the floor mat Shaun bought for the sun room. It's perfect!

Tfw you're trying to get stuff done...

Tfw you're trying to get stuff done, but your normally chill reptiles JUST WON'T CHILL. They were acting up so I let them out. Oddly, Nom, (the larger tortoise who's usually causing a ruckus), is relaxing in his humid hide for once.

And yes, they both desperately need a bath. It's on my to-do list.

Ooh, I'm not as sore as I thought I would be!

Not a complaint so much as an observation:

Not a complaint so much as an observation:  I am going to be in pain tomorrow.

I worked nonstop from 10 this morning until 8 tonight debugging, bathing, drying, packing, and moving plants, as well as handwashing pots, disassembling my plant shelf and packing it, and packing and moving other stuff in the house. My hands are sore from so much washing, and cactus splinters, and because I'm not used to carrying so much weight. The psoriasis spots I have are raw and bleeding from the friction of so much movement. I really, REALLY did too much today. I'm paying for it now, but tomorrow is going to be a heavy Tylenol / Ibuprofen day. Hopefully, I'll feel ok enough to chill down and repot some of these plants so I will have accomplished something. We'll see.

Goodnight, friends. It was all I could do to stay awake and have dinner and watch a movie with Shaun and the kids. I'm done.
