i know what you mean. that sounds cool. i have thought about getting a small pet like that to boost my spirits, maybe you have inspired me, now I'm thinking about hermit crabs ...
when i was working i used to get cheered up by buying an inexpensive shirt now and then.
i love putting on a pair of fresh clean socks and clean sweats.
i have a thing about scrunchies too. i love finding ones that stretch perfectly and make the perfect comfortable ponytail.
enjoy your new pet! thanks for the inspiration
