Oh, good job, askye.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I consider hummingbirds harbingers of good luck, askye, so I'm sure your karmic account is filled with coming good fortune.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well done, askye! You are a particularly good human. Poor little lost hummingbird baby.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Good for you, askye! And good for the hummingbird.
Still torn about what to do with the cat. I'm leaning towards trying to stay here, but I think I'm going to try taking him to my mom's for half a day and seeing how he does.

Thrive to spite them
I drove appx 234 miles round trip for the hummingbird. It's actually a pretty drive going along the routes instead of the interstate, and when I'm not so tired.
Actually the whole morning is kind of a blur.
Last night I was adding something to the box to try and insulate it a little bit, then I was trying to feed the bird (it kept angling itself where it was hard to get the syringe thing to it's beak) and it crawled in my hand I actually held it in my hand and fed it. There was no way to take a picture. And then I carefully got it back into the box. I tried to touch it/jostle it as little as possible.
Then on the drive down to the rehab place I had to feed it again, I had some Q tips in the box (instead of twigs, I didn't have twigs to put in the box for it to cling to) and again it was angling itself weird, so I got it to perch on the q tip and I held it up and fed it.
Yesterday he flapped his wings, but I think he's too young to get off the ground yet. I took some really bad pictures that are on my phone I'll try to get on Facebook.
And I came home and found out I qualify for the state insurance plan (not the medicaid plan) and I have 2 plans and I'm totally confused and I guess Monday right after work I'll call and try to figure this out. If I'm reading this right I'll either pay $60 or $199 depending on what plan I pick. And just reading the summary of benefits I can't figure out why one is more expensive.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, askye! That was a very sweet thing to do.
TCG and I went to a local craft fair today. I picked up a cupcake apron for $8 and two little girl sized aprons for TCG's cousin's girls for $6 each. They are so cute! Then the market where we somehow needed everything again.
And finally back home to unpack boxes. I have so much unused stuff it's kind of pathetic. Unread books, unused craft supplies, etc. I was thinking of starting a blog about it. Something like putting my stuff to use. Stupid? Done too many times already?
I also had to sort through some old college stuff from my unfinished degree. I kind of hate myself tonight.
