New little leaf over the last couple days, even if she does look worse for the wear.

I work on federal defense satellites at a government contractor that isn't SpaceX so I may not have to 'quit my job' before long.

Anyways, I did also buy a camera to do timelapse videos of it with!

This summer, I was at our high school reunion and telling Nikki Fannin Gorla that I remembered her birthday and her high school phone number.

And I did. But I didn't put together that that day, the day of the high school reunion, was on her 38th birthday.

Current state. The philodendron micans just pushed a pretty new leaf this week, too.

Oh, nice! I had no idea! We have a friend who breeds geckos and goes to reptile shows at least monthly. I originally got into the idea of a bioactive terrarium specifically to build it for a gecko, but then realized that geckos are quite the commitment (15 yrs!). So now it's just about the plants.

Only the creepy crawly kind to keep the mold and decay in check, springtails and dwarf white isopods.

One good thing that's happening this week!
