The Happy Thread!

[Slim]

Was at Alexander Springs here in Florida at for a small gathering with Siren Cedes and Zeldamanic. Both are excellent mermaids. What makes this belong in the happy thread is because Siren Cedes accidently might had gotten me a job by accident with a dive company because she was swimming around the divers and interacting with them. They asked would I be interested to being hired on to have a mer at the practice dives. It's still in their deciding stages but I'm crossing my fins this becomes official.

Oh how cool would that be? I hope that comes through for you, Slim!

I just ordered the new mermaid wetsuit from Sirensong Wetsuits!

Ever since I saved up enough for the tail, my spending has gotten downhill


I'm so happy though because my first one was stolen by my mother who still hasn't given it back (cause if it makes me happy, then it's a crime). But this one is even cuter than the first so yay! <3 I can't wait to start snorkeling again.

Plus, I just finished my final at 93% The other I got an even 100 on the first try so yay for not having to retake it xD

Congrats Mer Coralia. I feel the struggle about your mom point of view, my family in this house is the same way about mermaiding which I don't let it stop me. Today I'm meeting up with another mermaid from this forum to take photos and videos. I'm excited for today.

I grew up with a dad like that. My condolences and kudos to your being able to see it because it will go miles toward your still being able to be happy in spite of that.

Me, I'd be doing a freakin' happy dance right now if my lungs were not so bad today. New landlord gave us the lockbox combination, we get our keys Monday. So I've started tearing down things here where we are still living, going through boxes, packing, and the dust has my lungs in rebellion, but WOOOHOOO I'll be back in the salt air soon. We move in on 6/5.

Almost have all the body of my neoprene base for my sequin tail sewn back together, I just need to sew the back section on that has the zipper attached to it. My mom ended up having to do it because she has better skills with sewing machines, but I'm super happy to have it almost all done!

Finally got some time for myself...

The 13th of May our baby son was born, after 40 weeks and 6 days. Everything we had wanted/planned went different. I wanted to give birth at home, but it became the hospital because the labor pain got out of control. When he was finally born, he got an infection so he had to go on antibiotics, which had us stay at the hospital for a week. They did some tests on his blood work, but it showed nothing, so it's a riddle why he had signs of an infection.

But now we are home with a healthy son, his name is Ilvar, his weight was 4140gram and length was 50cm

Memorial Day just passed, meaning the outdoor pool near my house is now open! I swam there in my Fin Fun tail yesterday and let a ten-year-old I'm acquainted with try it out. (Don't worry, I knew her from the swim team so I was pretty sure she'd be an adept enough swimmer to be safe, but I kept a close eye on her.) She was so excited and I heard her telling her parents that she wants one for her upcoming birthday.

I went on a spontaneous trip to the beach with my family today. My husband and daughter (who apparently does NOT like the beach as much as her mommy) stayed on the sand while I went out swimming with my snorkeling goggles (they make me feel super buoyant but I need something for my eyes). When I swam out in the deeper water I accidentally swam straight into a huge shoal of silver fish! Watching all those fish swim circles around me was an incredible feeling and a secret dream of mine for AGES. I didn't get to do it in a tail or monotone but it was still a lot of fun.

Also, I FINALLY have orientation for my new job Thursday morning. Once I start working I plan on putting a little bit of each paycheck aside so I can start doing the fabric swatches for my tail designs again. I've redesigned all my scale and fluke patterns (the Finis Wave fluke patterns, anyway) so they'll hopefully translate to fabric better. If Spoonflower ends up a bust again I'm going to try out a different site.

Congrats on the new job, Hydra! It sounds like you had a fun swim too! Maybe your little one will adjust to the water as she gets older?

[Hydra1337]

Thanks! The swim was kinda tiring but it was definitely a lot of fun. As for Evie (my daughter, Evelyn) I kinda doubt she'll grow to like the beach. She LOVES bath time but like her daddy she's just not a fan of the beach. Oh well.

We've moved into our new house by the shore, and it's raining a little. <3

Yay for June gloom

[deepblue]

It was nice. But I'm equally enjoying the long missed blue skies today. I'm usually one for gloom, but it's been a while since we've seen the sun. And in this light, the ocean stands stark against the sky, dark blue against light, instead of what I could see from the yard yesterday, which was dark grey against slightly lighter darker grey. heh.

Today was nice. Though I heard you guys had a great white sighting so no more swimming.

That was about 20 miles south of where I am, and pretty rare. It's funny though, because I was just telling my daughter about how rare shark sightings are in San Diego, compared to some other places. lol And boom, shark's all, "I'll just pass by south of you and say hi."

I definitely made it into two of Volcano Bay's commercials!!!

I feel happy when I see people achieve their goals - I get real emotional for them - even if I do not know them!! I a proper mother hen, clucking away with pride
