No rest for the wicked, 3 double shifts followed by a half day on my day off, and 12 hour shifts this week. I want to get back writing but this schedule is kind of just occupying a lot of that time. BUT, all the overtime is definitely paying off. Thinking of surprising my wife with a trip back to Australia for our anniversary. Her mother can't travel on planes so she never got to see us get married. I want to set up a ceremony over there for her. |
That's so sweet! |
Haven't been around much these past few days. This is always a busy month for me. Not to mention I got to pick her up from the shipping center today. She's gorgeous, already need a bigger enclosure for her! I think in the next couple days I can get back to writing now that things are settling down a bit. |
Added this gorgeous Caramel Coastal Carpet Python to the family today. Have to come up with a name for her. Our daughter's name is Maia, named after the star in the Pleiades Nebula. (Named for the 7 daughter's of Atlas and Pleione in Greek mythology). I was thinking of continuing the mythos names and I'm kind of leaning toward Electra, Taygete, Arcadia, Alcyone or Pleione. |
I don't recall the origin of the word maia (Greek perhaps), but it means "good mother. One of the first dinosaurs known to care for its young was named Maiasaurus. |

She's getting big, just about a year old now. I think we're going to add a Carpet Python to our family, likely a jungle carpet. It'll bring the house a little closer to my wife's home of Australia. |

Snakes are awesome creatures and I've been very blessed to have had some snake friends over the years. |

Cute as a button. I think my oldest kid is going to ask for a Burmese Python next. |

It is that time of year again. |
We got our seeds started a couple of days ago. It's always nice to start them inside, transplant them and feed the critters... ![]() |
