Michele...are you in FL?

lele Apr 11, 2006 07:09 PM

Did I miss a post? I thought you would be MIA a lot longer than you have been. Are you settled in down there? Is the landlord OK with the scaly family?

Hehe, I totally forgot about that! Yup, I'm in FL as I type right now. I arrived late Sunday afternoon, and the first thing the movers helped me install was the computer. I've been unpacking things these last few days, rearranging furniture, and just basically relaxing!

My Scaly kids are doing great, they made it down just fine and have been soakin' up the rays since I arrived. The landlord really doesn't mind them that much, I actually caught him admiring them when they were in their outdoor enclosures, so at least he doesn't hate them...I just don't think he wants to admit it! (How can people not love Chams?!) The weather down here has been gorgeous all week, and I'm so glad I made the move down here.

I'll be interning at Sanibel's Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, (C.R.O.W.) Taking care of injured sea turtles and small mammals my first few weeks. It's exciting, I start on Friday. Thanks for checking in on me, I've become so comfortable here already, I almost forgot I moved!

Than good luck with the directions to my house!

Michele

I'll train Cyrus and Darwin to be herp-finders (you know, along the lines of bloodhounds) and bring them along.

So how are you liking it so far? Hope you like heat and humidity b/c the summer (May-November) can be a killer!

Have you begun your internship or do you have a little time to get settled in first?

Well, I'll officially meet the crew (other interns) I'll be working with on Friday. I had dinner with most of them yesterday, and they are all very kind. I'm not quite sure what to expect on Friday, but it will be exciting, and the beginning 3-5 year internship (depending on my own personal education)

Yup...I'm kinda scared about the weather. I heard FL summers are killer! MI summers are very mild, with temps hardely ever exceeding 100 deg. I guess I'll just have to find out though...

LOL....glad you made it! Good luck on your internship. It's good to keep the conservationists (what a word) going strong.

As for the sun...dont forget the sun block, and enjoy that lovely humidity!

I will enjoy my little bit of sun...but nice semi-dry air up her in Ory-gone!!!

Glad you all made it!
