Blue Dream - amateur learning as we go

I bought this clone on 04/28 ; I'm writing this on 05/19. I will have put her through a lot of abuse in early stages of development over next couple of weeks, and at points wasn't sure she'd survive. Right now I'm just trying to do right by her and keep her alive and show her I'm not a monster. and hopefully be able to take some clones from her later and keep her legacy going! This all started on first full day of an 8 day trip to SoCal. I bought her in a dixie cup and put her front and center on the dashboard of our rental car, wedged inside a neck pillow to prevent toppling over; she had been sliding back and forth all over the dash for a few days but got to share our semi-roadtrip experience from San Diego, to Joshua Tree, to LA, to Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Solvang, and then back to LA. I did my best to not make any sharp turns or I would yell "BRACE!" to my shotgunner every so often. I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm learning along the way. The next week is not for the faint of heart.
