I am sorry, I lied about updating today

mousmeTurns out that getting your aging parents settled in for a week or two of quarantine takes a lot of time! I went grocery shopping for them this morning and had to fight my father about it because he kept trying to come with me (I cannot EVEN).
Anyway, I drove home in the afternoon, got the dogs organized, waited for KK to come home after her doctor's appointment and then took a rather unsuccessful nap in the hopes that I won't be a complete wreck for tonight's night shift.
Now I have to start a new fruit fly culture for the frogs before work. The most active one I have is "booming," meaning all the larvae have evolved into adults, and they've eaten through most of the medium, so if I don't put them into new containers they're just going to die off, which is a total waste and can throw off my whole fruit fly schedule. I also need to feed and water the quail before I go, and check for eggs. KK has been feeding and watering them in my absence, luckily, and they appear to have done fine in my absence, which is great.
I also need to pack a "lunch" for work for later tonight, and prepare my water bottles (I have two fancy ones that keep my water ice cold for up to 24 hours!), and also bring in the garbage and recycling bins from the curb. BUSY BUSY BUSY, apparently. :P
Anyway, if my work shift goes slowly enough, I will be able to provide a proper detailed update about the 36 hours I spent with my parents, and all that accompanied them.
Catch you on the flip side!
