thanks, everyone. I wanted to update on here, cause I love this forum and my poly family. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to post as much with my new job...I have to be on the computer a lot more, so my eyes get tired. The polys are all well, although Pinky tried to eat a snail yesterday smh. Yes, the snails are still there too. Plants are still alive lol. Moke still has the crazy eyes, but is very inquisitive especially about Tilapia and faces. Soba is gentle and graceful; he enjoys freediving, eating small bites and hanging out with Moke and Macaroni. Macaroni is dramatic when she's fussy, but loves to dance and swim. Pinky is-as always-up to shenanigans and loves to zoom. The del still loves to bury., but might be the real tank boss? Going to be posting a flood of pictures soon.
In other news, I was accepted to several Physical Therapy school programs. I was on track to start this year in August, but because of a low back injury, my PT school acceptance was deferred until next year. Although I'm grateful to still get to do the program in a year, my enrollment is contingent upon me being able to meet the minimum physical requirements to lift 100+ pounds. This might or might not happen according to my spine doctor. This was never an issue in the past, as I was a personal trainer and did weightlifting. I guess it's disappointing cause everything was going so well and I had a career "figured out." PT would be a great career fit due to my active lifestyle, need to move around, and exercise experience/knowledge. Guess will just have to wait it out. If I'm not allowed to do the program, not sure what's next. I'm just thankful that I can walk, exercise, think, read, enjoy nature/animals, and interact with the lovely polys and their people who are on this forum.
