I get up at 6am, go make coffee and ck email to see what the night tried to do to me. Then I take all my orders on clipboard to Bugatorium. I plug in coffee maker to warm up the water for the mantis, they think it is coffee, so I let them think that, no harm done. Then I take out of fridge their hatched fly bottles, bbs and house flies. While they are coming to room temp, I start pouring their coffee into a sprayer, and hopefully I umplug it at this time as I tend to forget to. I start feeding babies as the fridge flies are not moving yet, when that is done, I start dumping out yesterdays frass and dead flies from each container into the garbage container on my feeding cart. From there, each gets misted and fed. When that is done, I go take a 1/2 cup of milk and pain pill, after washing my hands of course, by this time I am beginning to feel like someone ran me over and I sorely need it. Then I place out pupae into the fly cups to set on shelf to start hatching for another days feeding. After that it is all either making new cages to move someone or shipping, usually shipping the first 4 days of the week. Shipping means making containers w/holes and plugs and running around the Bugatorium to pack orders. After that it is back to the sink and into the office to print labels and look at new emails. After that, I need to eat, or us the restroom or get a drink, probably all of the above. All the while hubby is calling and bothering me like I ain't got nothing else to do but answer his questions or help him with his work! He thinks all I do is fool around! If he only knew! Today I had to drive him to two jobs, his eyes are in bad shape, so he could not drive, but we could not go till the mail lady came, she had packages to pickup and some to deliver to me. So It was after 2 when we left. As it turned out, he could not see good enough to do the work, so I did most of it. Then I drove us home and made some rice to go with hamburgers. Then did dishes, went to barn to get some hurricane hooks I need for the deck work tomorrow, then I found the fly container I was working on under a bush, dug it out, went inside Bugatorium unpacked mantis that came today, fed the roaches, superworms , crickets, and started another container of superworms to turn into beeltes, then went and mopped the laundry room, kitchen, two baths and hallway, as tomorrow is Fuzzy Friday! After that I washed the bug containers in the slop sink, turned out the lights in the Bugatorium and fly room, and came in to do emails and forum, hubby came in and wanted me to download the pics of the jobs we did today and send them in email to his customers, so I did that twice cause I sent the wrong pic first time around, so hard to see those thumbnails! Now I am sitting here with my wrist hurting as I worked outside yest cutting down tree limbs and writing this post. (tonge sticking out, needing drink and massage). here is pic of my darling Fuzzy. I love him to death, whatever that means.
