Since I have a few minutes to myself for the first time in any weeks I think I'll write an update, because I know how ya'll have missed me.

First the dietary needs of large snakes. I swear when I first bought them I though it just be a mouse or a rat a week and that's it. Nothing doing, my ball python Monty is the pickiest of the three and for about three weeks has turned his nose up at any rats offered to him. Today I'm going to buy him a mouse and maybe that'll whet his appetite. Simon too, the other ball has stopped eating, for the first time since I bought him, he too will have a mouse because quite frankly mice are less expensive than rats. Rosalind happily eats anything offered to her, and is well on her way to five feet and in need of a bigger cage.

Which I have to put off for another week because I have to pay $176 in Union dues, and I still have to wait a year for healthcare! What in the hell am I paying for?! I swear at that introductory meeting I'm going to ask point blankly if I have the time seeing as how I work a fifty-four week, with no health insurnace.

In fact its become so desperate I'm actually considering going to school again.Because that way I can get back on parents' insurance.

However I've decided academics will never be for me, so I'm thinking culinary school. I've always liked to cook and most programs to get a BS are only two years long. Except the tutition is about 34,000 and I have no idea if I can claim student aide living with my parents. I may have to move out first, most likely to my grandmother's spare room since Micheal still hasn't let go of the back house.

Since I work for a large supermarket I can simply ask for a transfer to the store close to her house, but living there means no internet and no computer and I desperately need spellcheck when I write. I still don't think Gram be too crazy about the large snakes either.

I am desperately trying to write a novel but I can scarce find time or the energy. I think I may have to take a week's vacation after the holidays to Lucerne Vally (a little desert town with a little motel) and just free myself from all distractions to write.

Yeah, the trip to Germany got moved to Spring because my sis's dog broke her leg and it cost sis $500 to fix, and that's not including when the cast will be taken off. But I didn't think I was going to be able to get off during the holidays anyway. The deli's been so busy just with back to school I hate to imagine X-mas eve. (Which I'm sure every last opne of us in the deli will be working.) Ugh, stressed out yuppies who can't plan ahead, I am so not looking forward to dealing with those in a throng.

And that's whats up with me.
