Thanks Adam.
Don't forget my old friend.....A Carolina classic....Cheerwine.
Less caffeine but much more bubbly!
It has me almost back to 100%.
For once I'm glad Lyn is not here. (She doesn't like my dirty work refrigerator.)

I might drink 12-20 single cans of beer per year and it's usually Budweiser. I'm not sure why. It's not because it tastes the best...........
A beer after some hot and tiring work, like lawn maintenance is always nice.
This time of year the lawn must be mowed 2-3 times per week. I could become a real LUSH.
I have 2 pots of coffee in the day and 3-5 buds every night ! But shhhh don't tell Ken :)

I use to drink a ton of Dew. I stopped for a year an a half now. But I started drinking a lot of Coca Cola lately. I wish I liked water. I have a hard time getting it down. I bought some flavor stuff to mix in with water. It does help a bit.
I love water but what started helping me drink it was if it's super ice cold. Plus doing those infused waters helped too. The ones with lemon and cucumber and mint and such

Moving is one of the most stressful things a person can put themselves through.
i've done it lots, though i hate it, I love living in different places.
Thanks for popping in and good luck with everything.
I feel really bad for beastie as well :( I can tell he's really unsettled and doesn't know what's been going on. I have made progress today though. He pooed for the first time in 3 days and managed to get him to drink whilst bathing him today. My fiancé went to the shop and bought kale - we only ever feed him leftovers once every couple of months as a treat but he loves it and we were just wanting him to eat something!! But he scoffed some down - not as much as normal though :(
I don't think it helps that we are tying to decorate at the same time, despite him being in a different room he can still probably hear banging and stuff which won't help him settle

And so does the lawn........

Poor, beastie, he'll be most confused.:(
It'll take a while, but he'll settle in and learn to enjoy exploring his new home and garden.

I know I feel so guilty. I know he will LOVE the garden when it's warm enough to get out but unfortunately it's just been too cold recently.
What would your thoughts be on letting him walk round the room (obviously I will not take my eyes off him) that his enclosure is kept in? Just so he can familiarise himself with his surroundings a bit better? I think I'll try it tomorrow if nobody tells me it's a terrible idea - just for an hour of something.

I have to tell you that it is a terrible idea.Temps are probably wrong, draughts not good, objects, even dust balls can be dangerous.
Ahem.
Not recommended at all.
But equally, I do it all the time, under strict supervision, but it's hot and not windy here.
Naughty, Tidgy's dad.
