Just got done with my ct- scan. I called Nanay to see how Opo is doing. He hasn't moved but is still awake. Going to be 70 today and sunny, might try to get him outside. Going to be 80 in a few days and no more 30 at night.
Hope your CT scan gives some answers to help you ?

As to your rain comment - We've had quite a bit more rain than normal for our area, but now, for the past month or so, nothing. The day after our last rain event I broadcast a bunch of pasture grass seed over the back yard tortoises' yards, and now, after a month, I can still see plain old seed sitting on top of the bare spots in the yard! I wonder if I should sprinkle water over it.
I would if you can sprinkle some hay over it. But I don't know how to do gardening in California. Maybe the hay could sprout to but also hold the water in a bit.?

What's crazy about me is when I was working my house was cleaner. I don't know how I did it all. Now it's too easy to say it'll be there tomorrow ?
I've become excellent at procrastinating with housework!
I've all the time in the world now - things can wait!!
Then I have visitors and I'm rushing to get the house ship shape and cursing myself for not having done it all when I had plenty of time. :D
It's true - procrastination is the thief of time.

I've become excellent at it ?if nothing else ? well... I am retired ? or supposed to be if nobody likes it. Don't look. And I live with a critter called Joe ? and a house bunny, a cat, a tortoise, a couple of house birds and a bunch of naggy wild birds etc etc etc... I guess time flies when ur having fun ?

Oh dear that must have been hard work for you and Rose!
I think and hope that because it was only for a short while that he was without heat he will probably be OK once he is warmed up again.
Do you know what tripped the circuit?

A few evenings ago Lola's heating tripped 3 times in a couple of hours and I was worried there was a problem with my electrics but turned out to be power cuts (outages) in the area.
It wasn't very hard to move Opo's night box. It's only 3.5' x 4' and has wheels. There is a slight ramp going in the house for my wheelchair. So we just opened both french doors and I used my electric wheelchair to do most of the pushing. We let Opo sleep in the house again last night. Yesterday he only came out halfway from his box. About 4pm he came out and turned around and went back in to go to sleep. He is out basking right now in the sun. It is about 70° today and going to be around 80° tomorrow. ?
