I finished making a one piece fish suit (swimsuit) yesterday. And earlier I tried it out in the shower, just to make sure its not see through...

As a gift to myself for getting a job I just ordered a Mahina Merfin. I can't wait to see how it swims!

[Nerdmaid Faith]

I just got my mahina merfin and despite being exhausted after finishing my swimming lessons today I hopped in the pool with it to take some pictures because DANG THE LIGHTING WAS EXCELLENT!

How easy is it to swim with that mahina fin compared to the fin fun monofin?

[Mermaid Mia]

I just order the mahina (thank you birthday money) and seeing these pictures only makes me more excited!

On 2/28 a sweetheart stray showed up in my conplex. She's pregnant so I started leaving out food and water for her. No collar or microchip that I could feel (I can't drive so I couldn't have her scanned) but she was pretty clean (still kinds dirty though) and friendly for a stray cat. My guess knowing my neighborhood is some asshat abandoned her after they realized she was pregnant.

I put out a missing ad anyway and spread it around but no one came forward. A Facebook friend helped me get in touch with a rescue they have a connection with and immediately found her an experienced foster home. When Creamy showed up this morning I stuck her in the crate I used for my own cats and the foster mom came right over to get her.

Creamy now has her own room where she can give birth safely. Once she and the kittens are ready they will be put up for adoption and this foster mom actually already has two people on her adoption waiting list. She's going to send me pics and such when the kitties arrive.

In the meantime here's Creamy on my neighbor's porch and in her foster home room.

That's one cute cat.

I'm happy because I got a Dark Side Of The Moon tablature booklet, and I've got the first 6-8 bars down on guitar. This is the most I've ever learned of a song, and I plan on learning the entire album.

After years of social anxiety and over-exaggerated anti-social tendencies (after being ostracized in fourth grade after getting a kid kicked out of school) I hung out with some kids from my youth group last night. It turned into a sleepover where I actually had meaningful conversations and wasn't the odd one out the whole time. It's the first time I've been able to befriend a group of girls in my life.

I was even able to talk about mermaiding, which they'd heard of (!) and thought was awesome (!!!).

And almost as exciting, my mom is actually helping me out with my tail. I really thought she would disapprove, but she's helping me pick out Lycra and found some lovely Organza today.

[Hydra1337]

That's awesome! I'm so happy for you!

[Takahao]

That's awesome Mermaid Lanier! As much as it gets ragged on church is one of the best ways to make close friends. I've struggled in similar ways, and I don't know what I'd be like without my friends. Glad to see you've made some more.

Yay other Mahina mers! Faith, you are killing me with those photos. After getting my merfin in on Thursday I was planning on going to the college pool on Saturday to try out the fin. I was so excited and when I got up I checked the schedule online for the pool. It was closed all weekend! All the other indoor pools either were open at times that didn't work for me or I knew they would be too crowded. For some reason whenever I randomly decide to go swim at the college pool it is closed or a random swim meet that the schedule didn't mention is taking place. How does the Mahina handle in the water? So far I have read that it is feels different from other fins and it has some good power and maneuverability.

I am so antsy to swim with that fin!!!

I had bloodwork done and it confirmed the embryo transfer for surrogacy was successful! With my next payment I'm getting a sewing machine and sport lycra from Spoonflower to make a fabric tail prototype with original designs! If the tail for myself is successful I'm going to start looking for tail testers to put my work through more rigorous testing. My husband is 100% supportive and it makes me so happy.

I want to say congratulation and that sounds exciting with the success If there a way this Florida merman can help with the tail testing, please let me know. I love taking every chance to help and find every opportunity to put on a tail.

I have to share this as this made me feel great. Yesterday I went to the pool by myself as there is plenty of skills to learn and to improve upon. I'm never a fan of doing anything by myself but I know I needed the practice for getting better at mermaiding. I put on my fin fun monofin and started swimming in the lap lane that happen to have a 12 feet deep end. I swam to the deep-end and took a dive. I stop at about 8 feet because I started feeling pressure on my ears as equalizing my ear was something I'm still trying to master. As I my head come out of the water, this 11 year old boy was looking as me excited. First thing he said was "you look like a merman swimming." He then ask if by any chance if I had a tail that goes with the monofin as he dream to teach a mermaid or merman how to be the best when he grows up. I had no intention of putting on the tail being the only adult guy in the pool but I did put the tail on because he clearly said it was his dream to teach a mermaid or merman. That kid actually knew some free diving technique and his tips actually got me to figure out how to equalize the pressure in my ear so I can easily lay on the bottom of the 12 foot section of the pool. I don't know how he learned what he knew but it was mostly definitely helpful to me. He thanked me for making his dream come true and I got the satisfaction that I inspired someone to become a merman. His mom even thank me for making his dream come true and she thinking about getting him a tail now.
