As usual I have been working 3 days non stop and trying to care for the bods and eat and do the washing, cleaning etc and all. the bods being my snakes of course.
I had to force feed William today as tempting has produced no results after his medication. I hate force feeding so much but it has had results lately with one of the baby Cornsnakes which ate only once since they hatched in August. I force fed him mouse legs 3 times over 6 weeks and now he is eating on his own - twice since!!!!
William is an experiment now :-{ since I lost Domino and Harry without force feeding and trying to tempt, he hated it but his tum was gurgling so much I couldn't stand he will die anyway if I don't try.
Had an awful gig on Sat night. I was really looking forward to it having a really good email rapport with the person who booked me.
But having eaten at lunchtime and arrived at the event at 6.30pm and performed at 11pm (approx, could have been later)no refreshments were offered and no way of getting anything (I had a job finding a glass to drink water from!!!)No-one spoke to me all night about what they wanted or maybe how things may have changed. (I was booked to dance for 25mins; well, you can't change it unless someone informs you or you're out of contract) while I was on stage someone kept popping out and trying to talk to me whilst I was performing!!!!!!!!!!! God, please where do they come from and please don't invite them into my life again..............
Of course I was tired and HUNGRY so the show wasn't good, to myself anyway, having been 39 yrs professional and I had to cope with a total mess going on stage "the DJ treating me as if I was some 16 yr old girlie" Ohhh we'll let you have one more track!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank goodness the money was good, but it still wasn't worth being degraded at my level of experience.
Two children's parties today, they went great and I feel good about the interaction between the children and snakes.
I'm not sure when next I'll write as I and the snakes have two full days on Tues and Thurs at a school, so busy, busy, busy.
