Oh dear.

Good luck, Maria!

I need a hummingbird feeder.

Hopefully he got it all out of system and the first day of school will go smoothly tomorrow.

Probably the obnoxious today is related. My neighbors' have taken to timing their annual trip to the Outer Banks to end the day before school starts to ratchet down the first day of school drama, cause their eldest does have anxiety about it.

Got my swim in, yay! And it was a good one. I'd felt so futless all day. It's become one of those things where, no matter what else I accomplish during they day, I feel listless and unproductive without.

CJ's doing good work. And S&R work would definitely mature a kid. The volunteer groups in my parents' area are vital parts of the community, they provide coverage where there would otherwise be none.

I've spend the weekend watching Donald Strachey mysteries. They have some nifty noir nods sprinkled throughout.

How did you do this? Netflix streaming has only one?

ita ! how are you feeling today?

I'm super excited about my hummingbird feeder being back out. But it has fighters, not cooperators, so there's maybe two on there at a time, with desperate aerial battles going on overhead. The SO was in the kennel (the feeder is hung on the kennel fence) today clearing the summer's brush from it, and they kept strafing him.

My first guest was a female Scott's oriole, so I put my makeshift oriole feeder back out, but if she's returned, I haven't seen her.

After going to the one-year memorial service for my former student who died hiking in Oklahoma, necessitating a three day search and recovery, I deeply appreciate the work CJ and his compatriots are doing.

ita ! how are you feeling today?

Weird. Dozey. All freaking day. I thought I'd have a whole weekend for a change, since I wasn't going into the ER, but apparently I'm not destined to be conscious on Sundays.

How are you?

I need a hummingbird feeder.

I think Loki would probably agree.

I highly recommend the design seen in that video. Expensive, but easy to use and easy to keep clean.

How are you?

The hangover is receding!

So ita and bon tied one on, eh?

The best place for a feeder would be by the kitchen window (safe from actual cats, but viewable and not likely to be disturbed by my using the deck.) But it isn't easily accessible. Ohh, maybe if I hang it from a long wire from a bracket I can reach from the kitchen roof.... I could get a bracket to stick out far enough that it wouldn't bash into the window in storms (more of which are approaching...)

I need to start on another project on the house.

How did you do this? Netflix streaming has only one?

True. But I also got 2 dvds from Netflix, one of which has the episode with director's commentary. So that's about 320 minutes of Don/Timmy goodness.

I will need to send my DVD's back so I can get Donald Strachey mysteries... hmm...
