Monday, 29 December 2014

I got up a little late this morning but still walked for about 35 minutes.

I was scheduled for 4 units of Berlitz lessons today, but they were ALL no shows: 10:15-11:45 and 4:00-5:30. I still had to wait an hour each time, just in case someone DID show up. But I can't complain because I get paid the same as if I had taught the full 3 hours.

For lunch today, we went to Rachel. David had a mushroom quiche, and I had their delicious "Celebration" salad. Since I told them it was David's birthday (his 59th, BTW), they also brought us complimentary cake and even a sparkling "candle". Afterwards, we went up and visited our friend, Moshe, for a bit.

The big event of the day, though, was getting our newest family member, a South Florida Yellow Rat Snake. I had actually been planning to get a corn snake, but they only had baby amelanistic corns, and they just didn't interest me much. The one I got is an adult or at least nearly an adult. I don't know if it's he or she, and, since I don't have a probe, I'll never know for sure -- of course, it doesn't matter. In any case, he's a very nice gentle snake, and he loves wrapping around my hand of wrist and just chilling. It really nice to have a snake again, but I'm NOT going to get back into breeding -- too expensive and too much time investment.
