Congrats on the new job, Pip! Finally getting above minimum wage and into more sustainable territory is such a relief. I hope your work is fulfilling and that you are prosperous!
Also, congrats to the recent retirees! May your retirement be a long and happy one.
My recent “heck yeahs” might seem small to others, but they’re pretty big to me:
1. It’s now been a year since I quit smoking. I had a two-pack-a-day habit for over twenty years, but I have finally managed to put it behind me.
2. I’ve also finally cleared a huge chunk of consumer debt that the spouse and I have been battling for about a dozen years. It feels pretty dang liberating to know that we don’t have to make that giant payment anymore. We’re not totally debt free yet, but now we can move on to the next thing.
3. My gold mother dragon arrived today, and she’s a beauty!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
My gold mother dragon arrived today! She’s a beautiful lady. Nothing fancy in the way of display as yet, but she and the brown hatchling are up high and generally as out of kitty raiding range as I can get them.
Thanks again!
The cats are usually pretty good around the statuary, though sometimes they’re drawn to one item or another. They seem in particular to love a couple statues of Egyptian gods I have: They’ll get up on the table where they are and just…snuggle up next to them. We’ll have to see how they act around the dragons! Hopefully they won’t get snackish! 😉
Many thanks for the warm welcome! I look forward to sharing them when I get them situated in a relatively cat-safe zone somewhere amongst the books. 😉 I have a feeling I’ll also be posting in the repair section, as the little brown hatchling has a couple of very, very tiny chips. They’re pretty much imperceptible unless you look closely, but are there. He also lost his forehead crystal somewhere along the way before I got him, so I’ll eventually hunt up one of those for him.
By the way, out of curiosity, regarding not getting the dragons wet when cleaning them, is that specific to the Ruby line, or is it a general precaution? I imagine that none of them should be immersed, but I seem to recall wiping the Mother Dragon I had years ago down with a damp paper towel to remove some dust and fuzz, and she did not seem to suffer any ill effects.
