We did a bbq and campfire :) it was fun but also exhausting u feel me? lol Luna also went swimming in the ocean today, (she loves swimming) but I had to give her a bath (she was a stinky girl!!!)

I'm sorry there's so many fireworks and smoke going on :(( I sympathise, dude, there even going off here??? like why. Thank goodness for your noise-cancelling headphones and music!!!

Yeah its kinda weird to hear fireworks where I live especially lol like what. did you hear fireworks where you are?

I worked all day on 3..5 hours of sleep and I don’t know how I’m functioning. Or how I’m still awake and still not tired XD Sorry to hear about the fireworks, there were a few outside of my work and I jumped a mile (it was still daytime so idk what people were thinking)

PUPPY GIRL I LOVE HER! & ya i dont see you much in the sb anymore but that is ok thats why we have teaparty!!! yayay! soooo are you gonna show us pics of luna or...? :^)

OMG GO TO SLEEP!! youre nuts! well, working on a holiday stinks! but $$$ ya know? :^) are you still working at the lab? (i think that is you, a marine biologist)? thank you for chatting with us today!

Yup that’s me c: I have no idea why i can’t sleep, i think it’s just a bunch of things. I usually want/need a solid 7-8 hours so I’m all kinda of messed up right now. Maybe i’ll just quit my job and be an owl <3

Thanks for joining us btw! <3 and oh aw I hope you can sleep soon!

yeah she is a good girl and she loves you too! lol I can if you want xD you would have to promise to share pics of the boys!

no not at all! not even on Canada Day! I just moved to BC (Okanagan) from Ontario though and I have no idea how normal fireworks are here, in Ontario I did hear fireworks all the time :0

Yeah, i didn't hear any for Canada day!! but headed a bunch today, and yeah I'm in BC too !

oh cool! We are in the same time zone :D I'm really loving it here so far!

haha yeah we are! I'm glad to hear that you're liking it so far, that's great! Can I ask what made you decide to move? :)

my partner/bf had the opportunity to transfer here because of his job, and I used to live here when I was a kid so I was super excited for the chance! he ended up getting laid off because of the pandemic, but we had already given notice to our landlord and found a new apartment here so we decided to still go. and he found a new job quickly, I'm still looking tho!

Aah I feel like I'm talking too much about myself and I don't wanna ask you anything personal on the forums, but I was wondering if you live near the coast? and have you lived there your whole life? :0 (please don't feel obligated to answer! ♥)

Oh, that's exciting! Ah I see, that's nice you got to come back then. I'm so sorry he got laid off that's awful, but how fantastic that they found another job so quickly, plus a new apartment! That's awesome, I'm happy for you! :D <3

and pfff not at all dear, don't worry about it, we're all here to chat and get to know each other, and just basically hang out lol

And yep! I actually live on Vancouver Island, so I'm surrounded by water XD and yep I have lived here my whole life~

oh no honey im sorryyyyy. have you tried melotonin? it helps people with work shift disorder!

i will show cat pictures if u want them just say when and where!

welCOME TO THE GROUP MY LOVE!!!! bitchin' ha btwwww. sorry i poofed last night i passed out lolol

HI BB how was everything for you today? im taking a break from sb so im gonna be on forums more

Thanks for the invite! I've been cleaning my fish tanks the past two days. Hard work! And I think my snail is dead, I bought him a week ago so I'm pretty disappointed -_-

i will be completely honest with you... ive never cared for a snail. what do you think was the reason he passed away? ;_; cAN I SEE PICS OF YOUR FISHTANK PLS

No idea. I got him from Petco so who knows! I picked him because he was alive and suckin' on the side of the tank, I thought he was going to be a strong one but idk he hasn't moved in days which is odd. I'll show you pics soon! My tanks are kind of ugly lol, the water here is pretty hard so plants don't really get lush and green.

oiiii rip man better luck with the next one i hope! i feel bad for him. give him a viking funeral jfdkas; lel. snails are so cute! i just dont have the money for fish tanks and gear and stuff. how expensive is it really? just a rough estimate or dont answer if youre uncomfortable with that. one day tho, i will get a fishtank! im sure theyre not ugly!

today im having iced coffee with oatmilk in it.. its so good i want to cry... i hope you have a cup of tea right now!
