Oh, and I realized the other night that even though I was feeling hyper, I was actually exhausted and cranky – much like toddlers get when they’re wound up from too much activity and/or sugar. So now I have to learn to put myself to bed when I’m feeling that way, even if I don’t feel like I want to sleep. That or at least ask someone else to drag me off to bed, since I crashed out shortly after my head hit the pillow. PH is right, I really am just a little kid. Let’s see, using the old math I’m all of 7 (25 = 2+5) years old now.
I haven’t felt that way in a long time now, but it’s nice to finally recognize what that weird hyper-silly-fussy mood is.
And I finally called the Herp Society to see about finding a new home for Calista. Sigh…. I’ve had her for 8 years and I love her, but I just don’t feel like she’s getting the care & attention she deserves, especially now that I have the cats. But they said that their foster homes are full and that boas & iguanas are the most common reptiles to need new homes.
Maybe I’ll try to contact my old biology teacher and see if he wants her for the classroom. I feel so guilty about wanting to give her away, but I also feel like she & I would be better off with her in a new home. Bleh.

Poor Calista!!!! I love that boa. Too bad I can’t care for her either…
