Hi...
So Puff is pretty much in the same boat as Broly and Jamie and Kane weightwise. He's still managing to stay a little below 500 grams but his appetite has been better and he's eating a little more this week than he did last week, so that's good. Daddy stuffed him with hornworms this last Saturday as a belated Easter treat, and Puff cooperated with much enthusiasm, but of course he wasn't hungry for anything on Sunday. I had to remind my husband why so he wouldn't worry about the beardie not eating. :roll:
No fresh warm air and UVB outside around here lately. We've had a few gray drizzly days, but the temperatures are rising into the mid 40s and low 50s in the daytime and usually just above freezing at night, so the snow is melting off the ground pretty fast. We're gaining over 5 minutes of daylight a day and there will be various degrees of twilight with no total darkness from now until sometime in August, but around the city lights you still can't tell the difference between "astronomical twilight" and total darkness. The twilight will continue to get lighter until the solstice in late June.
Lots of people are doing virtual parties with their families and friends. Did you get to talk to or see your father over the iphone or whatever electronic device?
I did the math -- your dad must have been around 18 when you were born? My father was about 41. I was the last little accident in the family that wasn't supposed to happen, but I'm here now, for better or worse. :wink:
Does Oreo appear to be feeling her age? Maybe she'll break a record. (Am I right about the "she"? I don't remember for sure.) :?
I've been a little hypomanic these past few days but depression is always just around the corner. Yes it makes it worse for just about anybody if you don't get enough sleep. But maybe online friends are helpful for depression because they're about all we've got for right now.
My husband had one of his allergic sneezing and coughing fits at work and scared people, so they sent him home and wouldn't let him come back until he got a note from his doctor that he probably didn't have the "plague." Fortunately he was only off on sick leave for a couple of days. He's still working otherwise but they're still shut down as far as letting the public in to their offices. I'm having a heck of a time getting him to wear a mask when he goes for groceries and stuff. This thing scares me but we're actually doing fairly well with it here in Anchorage. They're talking about very carefully opening things back up.
Glad to hear that your German friend is ok. I think we forget that just because covid is floating around out there doesn't mean that there aren't still the other run-of-the-mill cold and flu viruses as well.
Oops -- another TLDR.
Anyway, enjoy the spring and stay safe.
