Busy Day Off

I got quit a bit of stuff done today, so I was pleased. Still need to catch up our receipts from the trip, but not too bad overall since I got a bunch things done for the online store. I still have a bunch of things to do, such as add a ton of new product, but the immediate issues have been addressed.

I had today off and the next 2. We were supposed to run away for a night, but with everything going on……wasn’t possible.

I know Harold has posted about the raccoons. Which reminds me……..I had to go check on them…the kits are gone. Mama didn’t abandon them, but there is the issue of stopping her from pooping in our pool. Maybe we aggravated her enough that she won’t be back, but we doubt it. There are only maybe 3 other pools in this neighbor hood, so we have a good water source.

When we picked up the cage today it was at the animal shelter…….very depressing. I made the mistake of going in with Harold, since I had the check book to put the deposit down on the cage. Oh boy……it makes me cry thing about it….all those cats, kittens…..so desperate for attention and love. Harold had me go back out to the truck and wait. We were both very sadden by what we saw………I’m not going to write anymore about it, makes me cry to think about it.

Then we have been frustrated and upset with mama raccoon. =( So afraid that she would lose some of the babies.

We went to the store; we haven’t been shopping since the week before we left. I then had a few other errands to run, including making sure that we have propane for our steaks. =)

But that was our day. Tomorrow I need to get my nails done, hopefully the wind will slow down so we can go roller skating…..I really want to do that.

I’m going get away from the pc for a few and do some reading.

Must See

I REALLY liked this one.

Still 2 babies left for the momma to move, both of their eyes are still closed, so I think these were the youngest/smallest, so now I am stressing she left them for good.

We did find a place that will take them, so if I still see them tomarrow I gusse we will take them to the shelter.

FUCK…. I hate this.

How Do I Feel?: drained drained

FUCK!

I just looked and she moved 2 babies… no idea where, we have looked all over our yard, but now I can’t risk caging her when I don’t know where the other babies are….

FUCKFUCKFUCK….

How Do I Feel?: pissed off pissed off

Stop Pooping in my pool dammit!

She has 5 kits… We just saw #5 today.

How Do I Feel?: calm calm

Of all the things I wanted to do today

Picking up a dead “Red-shouldered hawk” for sure wasn’t on my list.

We got the first rain in over a month today, it was coming down in sheets and a lot of thunder and lighting, so I go outside to the porch to watch and I see a big bird body laying in my yard. I wait until the rain somewhat lightens up and I go out to confirm it is for sure dead and snapped a few pictures of the body.

It looks like, IMHO, this hawk was chasing prey and the prey out smarted and out maneuvered it and it slammed into the ground head first. Top of it’s head was covered in dirt and blood was coming out of it’s mouth.

I have seen this bird a few times, it would land on the rooftops around here and scream a loud cry, I had wanted to get pics of it many times, but never had my camera when I saw it and it would fly away too fast.

Guess I have plenty of time to take its pic now.

Anyway, if you want to look here they are.

WARNING! DEAD BIRD PICS

In other news, we are getting a cage for the raccoon and the babies, she has pooped in my pool too many times, and its too fucking disgusting to let go, I feel terrible I know its not her fault, but we can’t have this.

I blame all the recent construction going on, even more wooded areas have been cleared out near us.

Its time for us to move on…

How Do I Feel?: sad sad
I be jammin to: NBA Playoffs – Spurs/Suns
