| You can't see from this photo how totally puffed out this little guy's cheeks are or that the little thing he's nibbling was as long as his body when he started swallowing it. He ate several more and his cheeks got puffier and puffier. I'm not too happy with the photos but it was wonderful to watch him chow down. |
And of course I love having the birds back and the chipmunks and the squirrels and the daffodils and the green in the grass. It makes my eyes happy as though they have been staring all winter and are finally given food or like the color is water in a color desert where my Spirit and I have been trapped for four or five months.
Anyway, it was a pretty good day as far as my eyes were concerned. Color is back. Critters are back. The weatherizers fixed the front door which is also nice. A good day except for being REALLY tired. Well, that and the news that ABC is cancelling two of my soap operas. All My Children and One Life to Live are both being cancelled. This is probably a good thing. They are stupid and they annoy me... but that said, I have watched them faithfully for many years. It's like being told a whole bunch of close friends have been killed in a plane crash or something. One show is going off the air in January and the other in ... I forget. Sigh.
My friend Dan did my taxes - I don't have enough stipend to owe anything, but I like to fine anyway. Margaret and I washed the sheets and blankets and she took them off to the laundromat to dry them. Nice to have clean sheets and a freshly changed bed. Of all the things on my wish list, a clothes dryer is probably the one that would do the most to make my life easier. Speaking of making life easier, the bids on the next phase
of my fairy god agency's munificence is in process. A winning bid has been selected so I imagine it may not be too long before there is more pounding and sawing and uproar. I don't imagine any of the things on this list will take more than a day, though, so it will probably be a short-lived uproar and I'll have a new back door, a wider bathroom door, a hinged Angel gate, and upgraded electricity. How awesome is that!

I cannot believe this, it's not like they don't have a large following, I have been a soap fan since I was a little girl and it started with Love of Life and Search for Tomorrow. One life to live has been on the forefront on real issues for years now and don't deserve to be cut. All my children I must admit has gotten a little boring and I hope they end it with some happy endings instead of the same o same o.. God knows I will miss them, I rush home from work to watch my DVR every day and have been an ABC Soap fan forever...I think it’s a huge mistake, but can't buck the people with the bucks pun intended.
