Dec. 9th, 2019 07:17 pmOh, busy busy busy!
Nearly finished with TEFL - have everything paid, now just to finish all the rest coursework.
Kiddo is adjusting well to his great-grandparents both being gone. He's sad sometimes, but is now finally talking about it and his brother. And how at least the three aren't alone now on the other side. There's them and the army of animals we've rescued as a family over the years.
Still, Thanksgiving was odd without everyone here. Christmas is gearing up to be the same. New normals always feel so very very strange.
Have 11 audio books from the Alien series on Audible now. Happiness!
There's not a whole lot to tell really. Still trying to find documents to be able to settle the grandparents' estate, still paying off debt, trying to get my credit score up, still trying to organize my house (HAHAHA).
I've decided something about one of the stories I'm working on. Supposedly, spiders are small now because there is so much less oxygen in the air than there was when insects ruled the earth millions of years ago. And since they have book lungs, and they have their exoskeletons, they cannot be large due to the fact that their own body weight would crush and/or suffocate them.
So to combat that...
What if the scientists during their experiments mixed in some DNA from something like the spider crab? They live deep deep down in a lot of pressure and the cold. Or perhaps a yeti crab - they survive around 7500 feet down, and can live in extreme heat or cold.
Ooooh, now wouldn't that be interesting?
