I found my new poeci passed away yesterday, sad but as always, these things happen :/ I'm thinking I accidentally got her too dry? or too cool? mix of both?
regardless, gonna take this as a sign to stay out of poecis for now. the OW itch is satisfied with my OBT

if I were to sell the diones, I'd go from 2.3 to 1.1, but it really is impossible to decide 😔 it's a very solid group with a lot of possibilities. Great quality reds, good quality greens/Chinese (not the BEST tho so eh), and potential for visual T+

my goal is to walk out of NARBC having used only the money I make selling my stuff. I've already got about $400 guaranteed and I'm gonna try hard to sell the giant millis and brevicornis for...not dirt cheap. I'm not that desperate (yet)
