An Update

[HayleyGilbert24]

Hello all!

Sorry I haven't been as active as I was on here. I was going through a heart monitor study for SVT (arrythmia) and I also had some other personal life things going on outside of ZT1.

I am going to put the new bird zoo on the back burner for now (it's not cancelled!) and hold off on making more zoos until Hawkeye's Australian bird pack is released (super excited about this one). I have completed two zoos recently, one being the Surf 'N' Turf scenario (this one was fun to build!) and one that is themed off of the Pacific Northwest using the Marine Mania 'Islands' map. I'm also planning on making an African and Australian themed zoo in the future using a majority of my African and Australian savannah animals. Even though I already made a smaller African savannah zoo before, I really want to try out the 'Ancient Land's' zoo map and build the ultimate African/Australian hybrid zoo. I feel like my zoo building skills are starting to improve. I've been watching The Checkered Cheetah's/Thunder 55's videos on YouTube to get inspiration and I felt like I've gotten the hang of building amazing yet efficient zoos. 😊❤️

Thank you so much for the kind response! I didn't realize I could post updates in there. I'll definitely keep that in mind! 

I was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and I've been hospitalized several times for it. I get what I consider to be "chest spasms" where my heart rate goes very fast and I get chest pain as well as pain in my arms and shortness of breath. Every time I went to the hospital for it they gave me adenosine (which calms down the heart). They had to administer it TWICE the last time I went to the emergency room for it. It really sucked. 

I've played the first Zoo Tycoon as a kid and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I also didn't realize that you could download mods for it until I rediscovered Zoo Tycoon September of last year. In my honest opinion, mods seem to make the game even more fun for me (especially with a lot of animals to choose from and new restaurants!)

I'm glad to be in this community and sharing my passion for animals here on Zoo Tek Phoenix. 💕😊
