I would take apart that branch and start a new pot. The main plant probably needs to be repotted. Clean out as much as the old potting mix you can, trim the roots a bit and put it in a new fast draining mix. You can search 5-1-1 mix here and repotting. There are lots of explanations. If you are on Facebook there is a group called Holiday Cactus Lovers group with lots of helpful people. Most of them prefer to repot using a fifty fifty mix of potting soil and perlite. If you repot, tale your time and read up here. I'm happy to answer specific questions if you need it. My weekend will be busy so it might take a bit before I respond. If the clades on the fallen branch are withered, sometimes they can be saved by putting them i a ziplock baggie full of water for a day or two. Just flip the bag every day. I actually forgot about one for about two weeks and it had sprouted roots. Good luck!

Okay, I got THAT done. I really did read up on the stuff and visited the appliance forum AND took suggestions. So here's what I came up with: Frigidaire Freezer for the pantry (White)- Manual defrost. I'm either going to go with a 20 cu.ft or a 17. I have to measure the space I have. Right now, I have a small chest (freezer that is!) that I am also going to move into my garage in the new place. We have to buy meat and frozen stuff from the mainland and freeze it to cope with prices here! Washer and Dryer: Miele with stands (White). The guy sold me on these. They use very little water and soap and they have a honeycomb interior too, which will really save on the wear and tear of clothes. And they have a pretty huge rebate and energy cash back deal going right now on these. Refrigerator: GE Profile French Door w/ icemaker. (S-Steel) Really nice if you have lots of refer traffic (kids!) like we do. And it's got a nice freezer bottom drawer like my old SubZero, which I loved. (but...I HATE SUBZERO!--arm and a leg to repair! And a ROYAL pain to replace!) I'm also not buying ANYTHING built-in ever again! I got the one with the ice maker in the freezer. They have one with an icemaker and water deal on teh door, but that, for me, is a pain in the neck. The little ones think the water and ice maker are a TOY and I end up cleaning up the mess! No thanks! Microwave: GE Profile Spacemaker (Blk and Stainless): This is such a honey of a microwave!!! You can stop the turntable on it and it fits a 9X11 casserole dish in it or a 20 oz. cuppa coffee! And takes SO little space! I got 2 of these because we are microwave crazy in our house. I'm putting them on a shelf, side by side. Range and Oven (S-Steel) Dacor 38" 6-burner propane and electric: This thing really COOKS! And has convection too. I've had JennAir, Hotpoint, Thermador, etc and this tops them all and is SO easy to clean! Thermador and JennAir are the ones I would NEVER buy again---way too many drawbacks and the downdraft system just drives me NUTS--I will never do downdraft again! Range Hood: 42" Vent-A-Hood (S-Steel): Really SUCKY (and I mean that in a GOOD way!) and QUIET too! Nice design. I got it a little bigger than the stove because that's supposed to keep food smells, etc from wandering out of the kitchen area. Miele Dishwasher (S-Steel): Very cool. Love that the flatware rack is on the top and has its own spray thingy on top and has the ability to wash at 170 degrees. I got the one with the hidden control panel because the babies LOVE to tap, tap, tap on and buttons within their reach! So, anyway, that's what I chose. I'm so glad to be done with that part-my most unfavorite so far. Thanks for the help! It made a difference!

Jasdip, I saw a groundhog just like yours enjoying the fruits of a shrub. We were driving by on a very busy road through a busy close neighborhood. when I spotted it in that shrub about 4 feet off the ground and within 8 foot of the road traffic . Seemed totally oblivious to it's surroundings. I did know that they will climb for food or safety.

@Funkyart - I really don't know a lot about fasting. There is some conflicting info about it - as with all diet methods I think. What I did though was more one meal a day I guess. I was going to fast all day Friday, but I forgot I had a trainer workout. So, after that, around 11:00 am, I ate about 30 grams of protein in case I needed it for muscle recovery, and then fasted until 11:00 am Saturday. I just had plain water, and water with electrolytes. Tuesday I had a bagel for breakfast, then a 4 hour drive where I snacked on chips and a snack mix, so I decided I should fast again! So, I just stopped eating around 3 until Wednesday at 3. I'm not sure how often I'll try this. But every so often just to get myself back on track seems like a good idea for me personally. I'm not wearing a CGM right now, but the day after my fast last week was the most steady blood sugar day I'd had in awhile. I try to eat 3 meals a day, because otherwise how can I get all my food requirements and nutrients in? So, this is in contrast to that. It's a balance for sure! I see bone broth recommended a lot for fasting. I know my blood sugars are ok, so I just try to stay well hydrated. It does help me get in my water goal - drink instead of eat. I have read if you get a headache, you might need salt or electrolytes, so bone broth would be good for that. I had to put a little post it on the pantry to remind me not to eat nuts - mindless snacking can be a problem for me.
