Have a safe trip and a great Christmas MaggieI don't guess you use hot basking lights for them. You only have Redfoots dont'cha? When all this cold and gray starts to get to me, I steal a tortoises 100 watt Powersun, and put it about 12 inches from my face. That way I never get S.A.D. Which is good as I have several strange disorders already....lol
Well, they inform me the day has come and tomorrow I get on an Amtrak train. Frankly, I thought today was Tuesday. So I hadda bake gingerbread turtles in a hurry. Glad I made part of the dough a couple of days ago, so it was already chilled. And they turned out really good, except I'm no artist. I have to pack, leave feeding notes, vacuum, and more, I'm not ready in any sense of the word. And that stresses me out, so instead of functioning and packing or something, I'm going to bed. And when I get up in the middle of the night, I'll do all that crap. I worry about leaving my animals in the hands of a non chelonian person. I'm sorta OCD about how they are cared for. (ha! used a preposition at the end of a sentence....) Should read I am concerned for their care. English lesson of the day
And my son does not have cable or WiFi, so ya won't hear from me until next week. Y'all have a good Christmas, you hear?!! I know you will all miss me....

This weather sucks the energy and the life out of you. Even the tortoises are depressed this time of year.
Oh poor youI came into town early to get my last minute shopping done before crowds. I just got a text from my children. seems that they forgot a few things, will I pick them up after work.
Those will come in handy. Will they be re-purposed into tortoise fencing?
