Seabiscuit believes he can and should kill everything, but as he did not complete his internship with Wise Old Female Rez Dog TM before adopting us to begin his pampered suburban globe-trotting life, he cannot catch anything for the life of him. He caught and ate a rabbit once, early in our time together, and obviously he hunted before he found us, but since then it's been the gravy train, and by gravy train, I mean expensive specialty dogfood ordered over the internet.
He does break a stuffed toy's neck pretty damn good though.
I'm mad at myself that I was at the supermarket yesterday but forgot.
You can still do it! Lots of people are doing it this week instead of on the particular day. And if anybody did it but wants to remain anonymous, I can totally be your cutout and post your story on the event page.
Trifecta because I am in Memphis, it is three in the morning, but I believe it to be midnight, I need to drive tomorrow but have been driving for two days already and I am insane tired and cannot hold a thought in my head for more than thirty seconds. And it takes more than thirty seconds to type a post, so by the time I finish a paragraph I can no longer remember what else I was going to respond to.
Which was: I totally believe I am solely responsible for the general wellbeing of my local fauna and flora. Before I left, I watered the plants, put out new birdseed, refilled the birdbath, put fresh sugar water in the hummingbird feeders, stocked the (expensive) dog food (it's the new old dog food, which he luuuurves, and is thriving on.) made chili, green chile cheese bread, and curried tuna (for sandwiches with avocado) for the SO. And I'm only going to be gone for nine days.
I am insane tired and cannot hold a thought in my head for more than thirty seconds.
Boo! Drive safely.
I feel you with the tired. I missed my 5:50am shuttle this morning because I couldn't get myself out of bed five minutes earlier. Saw the shuttle as it turned the corner, the bastard. Maybe I'll power nap before my 7am meeting...
Have a meeting in 20 minutes. Don't wanna, don't wanna...
I have fire extinguisher training this afternoon, which I am looking forward to, otherwise I would be sorely tempted to call in or work from home today. Just cause I don't wanna go to work, really.
I was feeling pretty awake this morning. Then I got out of bed. Dunno why I'm so tired as I go to bed on time last night.
And there's no interne at work. I have to browse the internets using the cell connection on my iPad instead of my laptop (the horror!).
All day training. New HR system.
Faking smiles and excitement all day long.
OTOH, I am around people and that energizes me. Also most attendees are women which is a nice change for me.
Things I will not say in my conference call: Whoever you are, can you stop breathing loudly into your mike?
Ugh. My mom is sick and won't go to a doctor. (She did go once, about 10 days ago.) They thought it was a UTI, but that seems to have cleared up, but she's still not well. Everyone is superstressed and my family does not respond to stress well. My sister whose my parents' main caregiver is turning on everyone.
My other sister was trying to get me to come back home, but I am leaving for England in 4 days. There's not much I can do from here besides call my mom and try to convince her to go to the doctor. So I am stressed and feeling guilty.
