Goal Getter /// February 2016

FEBRUARY 2016

FAMILY (3%)

  • Plan a weekend to go see Mr. LL’s family in February (0%)
  • Hang out with my brother and sister-in-law
  • Clean the turtle and get his diet straight (10%)
  • Get Bigby a new harness (0%)

NOTES: Weekend plans are troublesome these days...at least when it comes to family it would appear. :/ Also, I decided to start putting some pet related goals here because Mr. LL and I do not have children, just our pet-babies (I would say fur babies but the turtle is furless, heh). But seriously, Paul Giamatti, the turtle, has the starting of what looks like shell rot. :( Friday, I spent a few hours researching turtle care, because for about a year we've just been winging it. Bigby found him in the parking lot of our old apartment complex, and Mr. LL wanted to keep him. So we have, and we've been trying to do right by him, but we didn't really know how to take care of a turtle it would seem. So we've discovered that we've totally been feeding him wrong (he needs less protein because his shell is starting to pyramid), he should probably have a bigger tank, but he's still small so he's ok for now, and we have not been giving him ANY calcium which turtles really need. I should talk to Lady Serpentine about turtle care.
