So it is clearly obvious that I am still bad about popping around here consistently. Started a new job driving for Grub Hub, and have been basically available for 12-15 hours out of the day, but definitely not working that much. Gauging earnings has been very inconsistent with the first week being very solid, and the number of offers/orders past such have been fading, likely due to Thanksgiving coming up.

...There's still a few orders that need to be sent out as well, and quitting smoking is at the top of my priorities lately, but god damn has that not been easy or effective at all. The bearded dragons have been doing well, as have been the Pixie Frogs.... But there was a loss with the ornate horned frog. He/she must have gotten sick, as I needed to hand feed it for a while before it closed its eyes completely and refused to eat, simply starving itself to death.

However... where there is loss, there is also life. One of the mice gave birth to a decently large litter. Being a new mother, the young mice and myself were lucky she had decided to only eat a few of them rather than the most or all, (and after needing to sex and remove the males to feed the frogs.... Sorry folks) so we are now left with 7 baby girls who are a few days, if not hours away from opening their eyes.

Things have been just as wild as they have been stagnant lately. Likely to pick up a second job as well in the near future to ensure things stabilize. From there... Once I fully understand how Grubhub and the new company works, best hours, best times, etc... I will FINALLY be able to make a full return to here with gems and more.

...And yes. I have decided to stick around and continue. Just needed a period of quiet to get my own thoughts in order, as it has been a long time since I've both had the time, and gall to do so.

Hoping the lot of you have been doing well yourself, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. <3
