What are you doing today?

Just ordered a new bicycle. :) I gave away my old one as it was really too tall for me at 28 inch. Just got a 26 inch simple beach cruiser with just one speed and coaster brakes. Also ordered a bike kit with a small air pump, front and back lights, etc..

Wow it’s been busy!
Yesterday was another farmers market, this week my fiancé and I ran a children’s (and adults ;) ) painting booth along with my work. Amazingly we did better than most other vendors, despite it being a slow day.

I’m told I look grumpy in the first picture 😆

Last weekend I had the honor of attending a benefit auction and was able to contribute a couple paintings, both of which sold! Pics of one to follow

The next couple days I will be preparing for the live Painting tournament this weekend, much to do, and so much anxiety about how I will do with so many people watching me paint on such a short time crunch!

My term paper about my brine shrimp is almost finished... soon I'll defend the thesis. I would love to record the presentation and try to put English subtitles, although I know that probably this will require some authorization.

Where we live, most of the year is hot (above 25º C) but, during Autumn and Winter seasons, we suffer powerful influences from cold fronts and/or polar air masses. The region's climate is probably Cwa-Cwb. The temperature amplitude becomes terrible and I hate this (I also realized this when I was living in Florida during Winter), then the temperature varies so much as our currency exchange rate, the Brazilian Real (or Real Brasileiro).

Because of this, my artemias from my 13-l box suffered this last days, despite they were still alive (and slowly swimming). Then, I'm using a heater that my advisor bought for my term paper. During the night, the temperature rapidly decreases below 16º C (yeah, I'm accustomed to hot weather), although today was better. This wasn't the first time, since we had a cold wave last year and also in 2021.

Also, today I fed my betta with the shrimps (as well as yesterday). I'm finding it weird in seeing so many females with ovoviviparous reproduction, given the fact that the salinity is 62 g/L and there's not any aeration.

Some pictures I took last days (date format: dd/mm/yyyy):

Launching my website tomorrow or Sunday. About time I moved away from Etsy.
And we finally know which pup will be my future service dog. He’s already in training and doing so well on the other side of the country, all I need to do is go pick him up 😊

LOL! FINALLY ordered a new alarm clock! Old one is over 15 years old but still works... sort of. It is self setting but sets itself ~45 minutes fast. Used to the wrong time displayed but time to replace... LOL! WAY past time. ;)
