I haven’t been posting regularly here. The stress of the reality of everything happening with the current regime is a lot. I fluctuate between disbelief, numbness, despair, and anger. The worry for the future is overwhelming at times. 1/2 ….

Beatrice spent about a week in her thick hammock that appeared overnight. She finally emerged after molting to show off her new bright colors! With this milt she gained a good amount of size and she is a full grown adult.

The boys arrived safely. Alfred and Edgar are adjusting to life in their much larger enclosures. The second two pictures show Alfred checking out his space. I haven’t been able to get them to eat as of yet, however. I’ve tried blue bottle flies, spikes, and mealworms in 2 sizes.

She’s here! Beatrice has finally made it home! She had a snack of a few fruit flies and is settling into her enclosure.

Turns out it was not warm enough to ship the spiders. Nor does it look so good for next week either. Dang persistent winter! However, it was warm enough to ship my feeder insect apparently. So I have bugs with no one to feed them to. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m getting a new spider this week. 2 actually. Hopefully it’s warm enough to ship them. 2 Regal jumping spiders hatched out in July I believe. 1 male,1female. Beatrice and Alfred

Ok…. This is going to sound so snarky and incredibly non-pc, but damnit anyways…. I’m so sick of posts in my hysterectomy support groups from women subtly bragging about how well endowed their partners are! Are we still in high school or something? Literally “ is sex going to hurt after? 1/?

So I just got my car insurance statement, I pay monthly. It unexpectedly went down by about $30. Note on the statement says Driver rating change. Did this happen because I’m old now?!?

So about a week ago I discovered a jumping spider in our master bathroom. I’ve never had any desire to have a spider as a pet. She’s a canopy jumping spider, and her name is Eleanor. Tomorrow I go to buy her crickets to eat. Sometimes the hobby finds you.

Here we go again…. Reflecting on everything that took place yesterday. Everything the Orange Mussolini has already said and signed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ once again embarrassed to be American. Feel like I need to apologize to the rest of the world for us.

50 apparently needs to come with a warning label. I was cleaning my stove tonight and decided a deep clean of the front was required. I sprayed down the front, the oven, everything and realized I couldn’t really bend over long enough to scrub it clean. (This was the first clue this was going 1/2

How did we get to the point where I qualify to take these? Wasn’t I just 20 something yesterday?!?
