Winding down

I guess all these nights of staying up all night working is finally getting to me. My muscles, especially in my back, ache mildly. I took a nap around maybe 9pm, and woke up at 1am. Didn't feel stellar. For about an hour and I half I forced myself to hydrate while playing (losing) Monster Train. It did help my headache a little.

You know the velcro dots? They suck. Everything fell overnight, and not due to the velcro coming apart. The adhesive wasn't strong enough. I had to order clear fishing wire to secure the tree frog enclosure's vines instead. It's coming on Sunday. Not sure what I'm going to do about the thermometers.

I got two things in the mail today, Stumpie's UVB bulb, and our nuts.com delivery. 

(This isn't an ad, I wish I was getting paid.) 

I'm trying to be a little more healthy this year. Just a little. Ordered myself acai powder, mango juice powder, chocolate peanut butter powder, and plain whey powder. I want to mix my own smoothies. Also got a pretzel mix, cheese powder for mac and cheese, lemon crystals because my sis finished our stock, and loose blackberry tea as a gift for my sister. Oh, that's another thing. I want to be a better sister if I can.

After unpacking that I took the UVB to the reptile room. At first I panicked because it wouldn't turn on, but then I realized I didn't rotate the bulb into place. After that I mistakenly fed Stumpie early. I could have sworn feeding day was today... Oh well, she got her meal a day early. 

Excuse the mealworm pupae everywhere, waiting for them to become beetles. She actually did come out of her humid hide, as evidenced by the photo, but she scurried back in. I don't think she's used to her new enclosure yet. I'm just overjoyed she doesn't have any eating problems. I'm going to be paranoid about appetite issues for a while after Sprout... 

I didn't do much else because my headache was coming back. I have migraines, and a headache always seems to be a precursor to one. Can't fuck around with headaches. I went to bed earlier (earlier means 5pm, hah) to try and kill it.

It's fine if I didn't function too well tonight. For the past three days I've been running myself into the ground. It's not surprising to finally be exhausted.
