I got to go to a super cool salt room!!!! My mom's been several times so she went with me and you just sit in this salt-cave and breathe salt-air into your lungs for an hour and it's great

I finally have something more salty than Sandypaw XD

It's supposed to be really beneficial in a bunch of ways too, like the salt-air can clear your respiratory system and help with coughs/colds and no one's allowed to talk so it's jut calming music with long, low tones and nature sounds. It really helped me get back some positive energy, which I've been pretty low on as I'm sure you know, and I'm not certain but I think it might help with depression and anxiety a bit too; it certainly helped with stress!

There's the room and proof of the salt-air on my glasses
We were in zero gravity chairs that were super comfy and I get two free trips back for my birthday and last time being my first time ^w^

I think I can safely post this because it's early in the morning and my sister won't check until she at least wakes up (I know she's asleep) but sis if you happen to somehow be reading this before you get to school, S T O P!

I T!

Alright, so a few weeks ago we went to the store for supplies and there was this giant basket with HUGE and I mean HUGE plushies in it. We were both a bit fascinated, and I decided I wanted to get her one for Valentines Day since neither of us are in a relationship and I couldn't wait to see her reaction. Until tonight though, I couldn't go to look for the one I found out she liked best because, well, we're family and constantly near each other. So we went to a different place (same store name) and there was absolute plushy CARNAGE! Like-

-I had to walk down that entire row to get to the giant basket-crate thing and it was almost scary XD

So I'm looking everywhere to find a giant dinosaur plushy like the one we had seen at the other place, but there's nothing other than a small stuffed stegosaurus. I'm telling you, I started digging a tunnel to the plushy underground or something-

(That whale was beauty blocking part of the hollowed out part)

-and there's nothing other than the occasional turtle.

My mom and I try two other smaller but still big basket things and we're having no luck whatsoever. Then the nicest thing happened

Apparently this lady overheard our somewhat frantic search for a dinosaur and my disappointment at not finding it; she had her son with her who I guess had wanted a stuffed t-rex but wasn't going to get it, so she brought it over and offered it to me to see if it was the right one. I was so touched that a complete and total stranger would take it upon herself to try to help me find what I was looking for, because that's the nicest thing to do for someone. I think she thought I was talking about a girlfriend instead of a sister, but the point still stands and I truly need to voice this stranger's kindness. All I know is that I want to pass on the kindness she gave to me, so hopefully I can find a way.

(There's the stegosaurus I found and the t-rex the woman so kindly offered to me)

Back on the topic of finding the plushy, my mom eventually agreed to take me back to the store where I had seen it, and we didn't buy either of the dinosaurs in hopes we'd find the giant one.

We arrived to the store and, low and behold, there were the giant plushies!! Turns out it had been an alligator/crocodile, but a dinosaur wouldn't have been much different in the first place. I don't have any pictures (I didn't want my sister to accidentally see the photos and start wondering) but when I say giant I mean GIANT! It had to be around five feet long, because it was somewhat close to my height (close to six feet) and it was absolutely amazing! Of course, it was also quite expensive (where I suddenly have less regret for not buying my friends at school candy grams) though I won't say exactly how much.

I had to hide that giant dude in the trunk of the car when we got back, and then move this five foot wonder into the house without her noticing. Somehow it happened, so this morning I'll be surprising her with it~

On a final, irrelevant note to that lengthy tale, one of my friends randomly saw something and decided to get it for me at the beginning of this week too!! This week has been amazing so far and hopefully it'll continue to be with a five day weekend and my visiting family. Sucks that I go back to school on my birthday, but that'll be a short week too so maybe it won't be too bad.

I'm going to be fifteen in just under a week oh goodness-
