Lemme brag.

Lemme brag. Kira has been making desserts since the quarantine started. She's done a great job, but today she KILLED IT with some Tres Leches. Shadow rarely eats sweets and had 2 pieces. We all did! It was SO GOOD! 🤤🤤🤤

I'm on the couch, awake.

I'm on the couch, awake. I haven't been able to sleep all night. I'm feeling some type of way so I dimmed the lights and put Cheers on the TV. I love that show and have watched it through several times. I guess I've just started again. I don't know why but it comforts me and for whatever reason - I needed that today.

I'm listening to Booka snore beside me. Watching Balthazar's little back paws kick as he dreams. Hearing Scar's whistling nose as he curls up closer to me. Watching my beautiful orange Toebeans sleep curled up in the black chair across from me. Hearing my wonderful Shaun snore in his bedroom. I think everyone here is asleep except for me.

I can't decide if it's time to get up and move or if I should just try to nap with these creature kids. For the first time in months I missed a dose of my anti-anxiety as well as skipped a day of my litter box chores. I feel bad about it. I will do better today, but I can't decide if today starts now or after a nap. I feel sleepy, but that hasn't meant a thing to my body in the last week.

Good morning to you - whenever yours starts.

I haven't slept well in days.

I haven't slept well in days. Every time I lie down anywhere I smell bacon. Even when I light candles or put mint lip balm on my nose I smell it. It doesn't happen during the day and no one is making bacon in the house. It's driving me crazy and keeping me awake.

😕

My favorite thing about succulents...

My favorite thing about succulents is I can say "Dang, I REALLY need to water my plants." for like, 45 days in a row without acting on it and they are just like, "Cool, whenever you have time."  😂😂😂  I swear they are the best things ever.  💚💚💚

We just finished cleaning / revamping...

We just finished cleaning / revamping our (horned lizard) Koopa's house. He's got a lot more hides, not that he ever used them, but we'll see. 😂

I was also inspired by Jennifer's recent picture of Clover (red foot tortoise) to upgrade Nom's humid hide. These tortoises aren't supposed to have lumpy shells. Nom came to me that way and most of what I read said that it was irreversible, so I just followed standard care guides and didn't worry about it. I have provided Nom with a humid hide for as long as I've had him but he never seemed to care for it. But Clover's shell looks amazing and Jenn said it might be all of the humidity in her area so we're giving it a shot. Shaun and I made a new one and hopefully he'll use it. We'll see about that, too. He's stubborn as hell. 😂😂😂 But at least we are trying.

We have a few more habitats to go, but that's enough for one day. My cypress mulch won't be here until Monday, anyway. 🙂

We just revamped...

We just revamped our bearded dragon Teyla's house and I moved some stuff around and ended up putting some bricks on the floor temporarily. Nom tortoise is clucking at this small pile of bricks and mounting it. 😂😂😂 Dude. We always know when it's spring in my house. 🤦🏻‍♂️
