I found some older pictures of Momo and Haru a few weeks ago, most of them from when the rats were a little short of a year old, with the exception the picture of Haru falling out of the wheel, which is much more recent. Hi ratses! You guys are super cute, and I still miss you.

• I have moved! Okay, so I am still moving a ton of things over slowly, but I have spent a week in the new place. I think once I get the commute down, it will save me an hour a day and probably a lot more in terms of frustration.
• I have not talked about the ratses much lately! Here, have a Flickr set! The quality is pretty awful, since they're all ( Read more... )

Am still alive! This is mostly a placeholder post to say that I have been mostly offline lately. It's been almost three months of stressful personal stuff, which is almost over...

Haven't even had energy to organize my own birthday party on the weekend, grah. I think what I really want to do is sleep for a week and play Picross/Griddlers until my ( Read more... )
