Quick Update for you guys:
-Siddhartha, the Godfather of the Desktop (or floor of the new apartment) has molted!
I am guessing that (s)he is 4″ now! This is the 3rd molt this year. One every 5 months is the trend.
-Osiris Molted! The Ephebopus cyanognathus from the kind stranger looks like it might be about 3/4″ now, up from 1/2″ ! It still has the pink legs, and hopefully will keep baby colors for a while.
Stray Roach-
One of the Gromphadorhina portentosa babies escaped, and was found basking in the light on top of Lizzy the Leopard Gecko‘s tank. I think a few more are missing, and some have been found living amongst the crickets. I just pick them up and place them back in the roach tank- I can’t figure out how they are escaping!
Aphrodite (Brachypelma boehmei) has not moved in a few days. I am keeping a close watch, in hopes that there might be a molt coming up. She hasn’t eaten in some time, so we shall see… I hope that she turns out okay, but I refuse to move her or do anything until I know for sure. Every forum I have read says not to move a tarantula that might be dead until it is in the death curl,and/or stinking.
12,774 words as of this posting. I took Saturday off to spend time with my husband whom I had not seen in a week due to the move, and his new Graveyard schedule.
I have been making coffee by hand (since our old maker had to be thrown out) and my guy was awesome enough to bring us home a new one this morning!! (After I had just spent a half hour hand making a pot…sheesh!)
It gets tough to write without thoughts of editing and restarting every five minutes. However, knowing that I have committed to doing this has really allowed me to stick to it without feeling like I can just walk away. I have developed “writing buddies” on all of my social networks, along with interacting with local Wrimos -although I have yet to be able to make it to a write-in. I hope to, someday!
Well, it is back to the ol’ word processor, and hopefully a few more words so that i can at least make my daily goal of 1700 words for the day.
Wish me luck, and if you are writing as well, good luck to you!
