I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

I'll keep with the just watching Kat's video's instead of trying myself. She is amazing.

Boo for no raises.
