It was so wonderful sleeping in this morning. Man, I needed that! Weirdly, I felt really down upon waking (probably hormones) but Henry cheered me up quite efficiently and we were sickeningly cuddly and adorable for the next few hours. Then we headed off to Wild Oat's for something light to eat, and then wandered to the bookstore. I couldn't resist ( Read more... )

Our trip to the zoo was awesome. I heartily recommend visiting if you're ever in St Louis. :) Sadly, I don't have any pics just yet since my camera is still broken, though we did pick up some disposable Kodaks. Henry also bought me a tiny, plushie Marmoset, which was quickly named Marmalade and has been my companion of choice. Maturity is seriously ( Read more... )

Happy Independence Day to all who celebrate! Henry and I are going to see Transformers in lieu of fireworks and then we're splurging on a nice meal from Outback ( Read more... )

Squishy's been down hard for the last few days but has apparently decided to get up for a while this afternoon. I put some salad out and she's eating a little squash now ( Read more... )

Henry and I are back in Ohio, and it's good to be home. I never thought I'd be pleased to be in Cincinnati! I did get glutened over this break and was sick just before we left but I've been relatively ok and I'm only suffering a stomach ache now because I ate too much GF Xmas cake. ^^;; Anyhoo, I've unpacked all the cases and started tidying up a ( Read more... )

Last night Henry and I attended a biology lab social. It wasn't that good in the sense that no one really mingled and just kept to their little cliches, but the food was delicious and I met a few really nice people, one of which wants to get together sometime to hang out. :) The main success, however, for me were two amazing desserts someone ( Read more... )

Having geckos is a special kind of fun. You get to play "spot the babies" in the morning; peering about in the naturalistic enclosure until you find them hiding beneath a leaf, or seemingly glued to the glass in a bizarre, spread-eagled fashion. Then, in the evening when they're active, you get to desperately try and catch one of them (I'm looking ( Read more... )

Well, Squishy is being a very good little dragon. :) She ate a fair chunk of salad today for the first time in about 5 days and took her medicine without complaint this evening. She even suffered through me syringe feeding some rehydration/electrolyte formula and then happily scoffed down 3 locusts offered as appeasement ( Read more... )

Squishy is back from the vet and has been placated with mealworms. She was out in the waiting room and seemed a little afraid of the dogs, but I gave her access to a hiding spot on my lap and she was happy watching everything. The vet we saw this time was a little frustrating to deal with. He talked over me a lot and didn't really listen, plus he ( Read more... )
