I'm exhausted. Busy homeschool day plus hatching out babies is crazytown. So much fun but I am ready for bed. 7 hatched, 2 to go.

I had to take them off damp papertowels because they started eating them. At first I lined the existing papertowels with big romaine leaves and piles of greens, but this evening I pulled out the papertowels and put in long strand sphagnum moss and a new hide.

Well I got the "hatch 'em itch" and bought a clutch of eggs from a friend/TFO member. The guy I bought them from is the same person who gave me October as an egg, that hatched last October.
7 have hatched and 2 still remain unpipped in the incubator.
They hatched super quickly, 80-83 days. Freaked me out because I thought I at least another month. Clearly they had other plans lol.

Today I'd planned to drive up 3 hours to VT with a friend to check out the mountain I'll be racing on next weekend and go for a hike, plus check out where in the woods I plan to be pitching a tent to camp since who has money to pay for a hotel, certainly not me!... Well she bailed (and got mad at me saying that because "she never said yes officially") so I went anyway, hiked up Killington alone ... And had the best time of my life!
I find I tend to rely on others too much, and it felt pretty great to get out and take on the mountain and get to the summit solo. So peaceful to, there was literally no noise at all, and because it was Wednesday is very possible I was the only one on the mountain hiking.
I've officially decided I want to call Killington my home when I spread my wings to my own place. It wasn't too populated, but still had stores and places close, and in the winter the mountain would literally be right there, if it got too snowy to drive I could just walk my snowboard and me to the slopes (when I'm not muddy I'm snowy)

And... Wait for it... *gasp* a picture of me not covered in mud! Summit selfie (because 'if there's no picture it didn't happen')

I wondered where all these babies were coming from. I thought I remembered that all your leopards were too small yet. Isn't it fun?

Well, here we all are again!

I just finished watching episode 20, season 12 NYPD Blue. It's pretty sad that there are no more of them to watch. That's one of my very favorite shows. Hopefully the new season starts soon on all the regular shows and I won't be stuck trying to find something free to watch on Amazon Prime.

I'm so glad we finally heard from Steven. I was really starting to worry.

So what's going on with all of you?

Sarah: You're such an upbeat person. It really bothers me when you're down in the dumps. Glad you've been able to get up the mountain, even if it was by yourself. Mighty pretty pictures (including the last one).

It is fun. A lot of fun. I hope Mia starts laying one of these days. She should have her choice of males soon enough, since it's likely I have several LOL.
Have you seen Mia?

No, I don't believe I've seen her before. She's big!
