Sickness Brews and Beju Bear

For almost the past week I had been pretty sick. My head was throbbing, I had a fever (which I hadn't got in forever!), a cough that killed my throat, my eyes for some reason were in immense pain and looked like the eyes of the devil, I was almost too weak to stand, dizzy too, and nausea was always keeping me from eating. I literally spent days in bed barely getting up. But now I can finally get around again despite a foggy mind.

I haven't seen my pony girl for a while now and it is driving me crazy. We've been getting a lot of snow too... I hope I feel well enough to see her tomorrow.

In other news I have something to share with you all. I don't share many other aspects of my life besides horses and possibly some stuff about school but I am so excited about this and really wanted to share. For the past few months I have been obsessed with reptiles. Ever since I held an eight year old Ball/Royal python named Borris at my local Master Naturalist class I fell in love. I watched millions of videos and intently read all about their species. They were fascinating and I really wanted one but owning a snake wouldn't happen for a while due to having other animals in the house that could be eaten (chances of it even happening are slim but shouldn't take the chance)... But I still researched and learned a lot about them until I came across Leopard Geckos. My obsession grew into something more as I learned all about these little creatures. They sounded amazing and after realizing how cheap and easy they are to care for I decided to adopt one. I browsed through many breeders until I found this little guy at a great price. He is almost six months old (they can live from 15-28 years!) and is called a Jungle Morph. I named him Beju and am so excited to get him!
