    It's been moving along. Life has it's up and down and to stay indoor is hard! I still find time to sit outside or take my dog for a walk to be able to get exposure to the sun and fresh air. No shopping this week for food since we have plenty at home to eat still.

    It would be great if my boyfriend and his mom drink weren't so afraid to drink tap water. They need to always buy water bottles. We can save more buy drinking tap water or buying a filter.

    It would be nice to not water the outdoor plants to save water. With having to be stuck indoors now. We use the shower and the bathroom more often. The dream to have the gym back so I can save on water should be coming soon

    We don't have a fence. Due to our HOA rules we cannot have them if we do they need to be wood and all out of our own pockets. We've come to realize to the last owners love flowers and planted many bulbs randomly in the yard. It was a surprise when we watered the yard this year and lots of tulips started to pop up. It is a waste to water the plants outside since it's not exactly our home. We rent and the changes and plants we want have to be approved from the owners and property management.

    Silly enough I watched the tiger king and then that got me interested into learning about tigers. I learned that there are many breeders who breed the animals illegally. In the wild tigers have their babies and let them stay until they are 2.5 years. They are basically big kitties. A lot to handle when they grow up. Females are more calmer and don't take up territory as much as males. Male tigers if they do not get over 23+ miles of territory they can get very aggressive. In the USA, there are more breeders with tigers than wild tigers in the world. My favorite things about these animals is their fur color and patterns. They are soo exotic and yet soo powerful!
