I finally got a job back in December - though it only lasted a month because it was seasonal. It took several months of waiting, but I got a job working as a packer at an Amazon Fulfillment Center. I finally had my own spending money and could finally buy my own things. Now, I am currently looking for another job and it seems like I’ll be called in for interviews soon.

Chroma, my bearded dragon boy, passed away in December. This was the most heartbreaking thing for me last year and I’m still very emotional about it. He died during my second week into my first-ever job and it was a struggle to not burst into tears the following few days. I plan to have him cremated - just need to find the right time to do it.

I bought a nice new pvc tank and supplies with the money I earned from working at Amazon. I got a new bearded dragon earlier this year. Her name is Dagyr and she eats so aggressively that she has more than tripled her size than when I got her - her body could fit in the palm of my hand. Only recently she was identified as a female and this whole time we thought she was a boy (she was pretty young when we got her and was hard to tell).

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on tumblr, but I got a fire skink a while back. I think she may be a female, but I am not certain. I got her from a reptile show and I had been looking at getting a fire skink for some time. She is still skittish with me and hides most of the day. From time to time, she will poke her head into view or come to the front of the tank to stare at me when I’m up late at night. Sometimes she just wants food and goes crazy when she sees the feeding tongs.

I’ve been spending most of my time taking care of my pets, playing lots of video games, biking while playing Pokemon GO, collecting figures, and trying new hobbies. I occasionally will go out to places with my sister to the mall, downtown, and stores in general. It does make me feel better going out and doing things. I have noticed I’m a lot more comfortable and likely to talk with strangers than I ever have before. I’ve taken an interest in gardening again and have a collection of succulents.
