So, with having internet access at home once again, I've been roaming around to various sites - many which I thought would surely be defunct - between the job searching. For one, I've discovered that livejournal is still alive and kicking. I did, however, have to reset my password. That, in and of itself, was a small feat; the email I had connected ( Read more... )

But, thankfully things like Tylenol and decongestant exist. And, I'm willing to take them. When desperately needed.  Too bad I'm starting to feel better so late.

Seeing as how this is her first clutch of the season, she ( Read more... )

It's not totally official yet. But, I just got off the phone with the lady at a bird store a few towns over. She's agreed to buy my six budgies that I don't plan on keeping. So, it's goodbye to Medusa's five other babies (one went to B'field in October) and Julia, who ended up not being named Claire or any of those other suggestions I got a while ( Read more... )
