It turns out the turtle I was assigned to - Discovery - died this spring. So a family member asked me if I'm going to contact someone about being assigned a different turtle.
"No. She's with the Lake Monster now. She needs to be remembered. And I'm the right person to adopt a ghost turtle."
Everyone ignores the fact that I'm slowly developing a Lake Monster cult and agrees this is peak Fizzy.
@Coffee_and_Salt I've been seriously looking over the past couple of years at things about changing what's in the yard to not need so much water, the water crisis in Flint, MI, and the abandoned nets in oceans. Water is becoming really important to me.
@weirdfizz Hey I'm down for a water saving cult. much better than some of the others floating around.
