5 Year Plan: Part II
January 20, 2022
I go to pet smart to pick out two new rats to add to my family. Since the death of my first rat, Matilda, I had been longing to own rats again. I began to grow my little rat family in August of 2017 when I finally had a place of my own to care for the rats.
The day was dreary as any other day in January, but the inside of Petsmart was warm. I quickly walk to the small critters section of the store to see the new little guys I would be bringing into my home. Two females catch my eye. One looks exactly like Matilda: creme colored hair spanning across her back with a white under belly. I bought the two quickly and named the Matilda clone Honeydew (the middle name my ex girlfriend gave Matilda) and the other Skunk-melon.
Upon bringing the two new members of my family home, I temporally keep them in a smaller cage next to the bigger so the rats can smell and get familiar to the new scents. The night ends with rat cuddles on the couch while watching a movie.

It's become a habit to tend to my dad's garden during the spring/summer. He's a great gardener...he just doesn't weed...or keep up the garden at all. I begin weeding with Gemma who is nine years old by now. After being away for college during such formative years I'm trying to make sure we spend time together. We clear the garden of debris, dead plants, and legos as well.
Some of the flowers have begun to bloom. The rose were already growing up the porch posts. We take into account the flowers already growing in our garden before driving up to Walmart to buy more to plant in a the garden. Gemma and I have been doing this since she was four years old.
After Walmart we spend two hours planting all of our new flowers. We calculate their placements carefully. Afterwards we eat pizza outside next to our beautiful garden.

Six years has passed since my step-mother, Liz, passed away after a long battle with cancer. I spend the day with my family.
We listen to her favorite bands, dance around, and try to remember the good times instead of the bad. I still miss her so much though that my bones ache. The sunflower tattoo on my right forearm serves as a reminder of her everyday.
I glance at the clock and see it's 12:34. I know she's there with us.
