Happy New Year!!
Used this chonkyboi for our in-house ball drop, he had fun mooching for snacks from everyone after and was rewarded handsomely for helping us ring in the new year

37 if I counted right lol
Super taster + neurodivergent 🤪

Always feel I need to add the disclaimer that: my mom was a fine cook, I'm an OK cook, it's not about "how it's prepared" AND my mom tried *really* hard to get us (me+sib) to eat many of the things crossed off on this list as kids

Gave my guinea pig a new paper bag to play in and he's already making renovations! His old bag (2nd pic) was falling to pieces he chewed it so much! This pig has a fleece hidey, a wooden hidey, and a castle with a second floor but the simple paper bag is always his favourite lol 🥰

Buried my Donut today; he passed in Mar but as I was living in 🇦🇺 we waited until after I moved home. He was a goofy little piggy that lived in his own little world. He loved to chase after his fav brother, Tucker, & gave great snuggles when held. Already been missing this little potato so much ❤️

Fireworks from the Ekka earlier this week!!

I moved to Australia a few weeks ago for my postdoc and today I finally saw the fruit bats/flying foxes out in the wild! It was so amazing!! There were so many of them and they got surprisingly close. I didn't get the best pictures but I'll work on that later 😅

3 weeks ago I got my PhD, it was really special as my dad got to be part of the ceremony and hood me along with my PI. My dad had saved his PhD hood from over 30 years ago just for something like this! 🥺
We then celebrated by spending a day at the Georgia Aquarium & diving with the whale sharks!!

Celebratory first post with a picture of a snuggly Donut ☺️
