Tampons! Unused ones, thank goodness. Raccoon-girl has leveled up her drawer-opening skills - she'd not bothered the ones in the bathroom, but yesterday decided they needed investigating: and there was a baggie of tubes in the drawer! And you can tear open the baggie and pull out the tubes! And then you can tear off the paper wrapping around ( Read more... )

Stranger Things, I got sucked in! One of my co-workers is really into it and was bouncing around about the second season being released on Netflix on Friday, so I watched the first episode of the first season on Wednesday...and stayed up until 1am and finished the whole first season, edge of seat the whole time, lol. Then I did the same thing ( Read more... )

I have time off! A few days this week, and almost all of next week, although I'm working Sundays and some Sat/Fri programs (Perseid Meteor Shower this Saturday, forecast was looking pretty rainy/cloudy but it keeps getting better every time I checked, so fingers crossed ( Read more... )

Hello and still alive! Got the batch of 13 teeniest baby opossums drinking from a dish yesterday (instead of having to be tube-fed one-by-one three times a day), and the 12 medium baby opossums have been dishing it since last week, which means I have more than 30 minutes of non-wildlife time again. I have showered! I have eaten vegetables! I may ( Read more... )

First wildlife baby of the year arrived today - teeny day-old raccoonlet, not in the best shape.  A hiker found her along a trail in the park, muddy and cold. She's a bit dehydrated, but fairly squirmy and squawky once she got warmed up again - didn't like the rehydration solution at all, but I finally got her to take some diluted puppy formula, so ( Read more... )

Yesterday on my way home I was passed by a dark blue Honda FIT with a Decepticon logo! My little turquoise-blue Autobot-Glyph Honda FIT car was most intrigued! I was hoping we'd catch up again at the usual rush hour traffic jam, but didn't see it again, maybe it'll show up another day though :D ( Read more... )

Ended up with two more raccoon babies - these were in the backyard of a friend of my sis-in-law, dogs had killed a third baby, and when I checked them out the other two were clearly in bad shape hadn't been with mom for awhile. Tough customers though! Very growly and bitey - have to use gloves when I handle them, although they've learned very ( Read more... )
