So this afternoon Matthew started yelling for me . I wasn't sure what was going on --but he found 3 baby bunnies scattered around the yard. Their eyes weren't open and they were tiny and we aren't sure where the nest was. I found a wildlife rehab (after several attempts of texting/calling every person I could find) we kept them as warm as possible and Matthew found the body of a fourth. We finally got a hold of a rehab person and drove about 45 mins to drop them off, unfortunately the littlest dint make it.
They had been away from their mama a long time and were both dehydrated. and the rehab person was getting the stabilized and hydrated. I haven't had an update since then. Not sure they will both make it, one of them was really fading.
Matthew took it kind of hard.
the other day he also pulled a very young mouse out of the closet, the cats were very very interested in it and I'm not sure how it got in the house (as we couldn't find a nest) but he basically just took it outside to .. continue the circle of life for something else. So it's been a tough week for him and baby animals
Life's rough for baby bunnies, especially if their mom gets caught by a predator. It's good of you and Matthew to try and help them.
Baby bunnies! Generally mice will avoid a place with cats. Mine did bring me an itty bitty baby mouse yesterday. I said no thanks and tossed him outside for the rest of the day.
My cat has killed a couple of young rabbits so far this summer. They seem to be the only thing besides voles that she is interested in. I wish she'd take care of the mouse in our garage.
Matt, I'm sure the personal injury attorney will tell you that whiplash can appear long after the actual accident.
I got some personal praise from one of our board members at the board meeting last night for my service for curbside pickup. Yay! I didn't even know she was a board member when I helped her pick out books and games for her grandchildren.

Don't undervalue the huge emotional trauma too.

Appreciation is a good thing.
My son is installing a window air conditioner in my camp here in Otter Lake. In the Adirondacks! AC! Global warming is real yo.
Hah, climate change is real perhaps—we are hovering 12 degrees below our average July weather per the local guy—mondays high was 66. Brrr!

We've been creeping towards 90F this week. I HATES it. I am fully acclimated to Wisconsin.
Today I am working on LGBTQ+ book lists for picture books that we have on our shelves for little kids. (More squeeing about how I love my job.)
I'm not melting yet today, so that's nice.
Had my performance review for 2019 - 5 stars for me, yay, but no raises, as expected. Incentive to work hard = very low
ETA I can't be too mad about not getting a raise when we had layoffs, but OTOH our revenue is WAY UP compared to last year so not even a cost of living increase is a little hard to swallow
I just signed up for a trial thingy through Kaiser that gets me livestreamed workout classes and also in person classes. Now, gyms are closed right now (I think? I didn't pay that much attention to their status) but there is one class offered in my general area and it's for pole dancing. I'm tempted. But also very very very out of shape...
KatP would tell you to get on that pole!

Yeah, you should be getting raises! We are not getting raises, so we don't have to do ratings, although we are expected to have performance conversations. I mean, I am assuming that's why no ratings but I guess the higher-ups haven't actually connected those dots.
