Abby didn't seem to be feeling well yesterday afternoon and last night, and wasn't eating much. She seemed to make up for it overnight though and ate almost all of her food.

I got home 90 minutes early today. I'd gone in an hour early because I couldn't sleep, and the shelter manager did the same thing. Then we got through things in record time. The poor animals were confused about getting their breakfast ahead of schedule.

I sent a friend a "cheer up present" for her DH who has ALS and is struggling with the diagnosis. He loves the little junk robot I got one for myself, too.

I really appreciate working with people who genuinely care for every one and who takes concerns seriously The company culture here is so different from what I've experienced in the past.

Our regular vet was back in the office this morning and helped alleviate any anxiety I had about Carleton's recent health issue. She knows him so well and is thorough without being an alarmist. I'm extremely thankful to have found a gem like her as our vet.

Got to see my first pileated woodpecker of the year this morning.He was taking his time going up one of my maple trees so I got to watch.So beautiful!Weather was decent and hubby got to spend a good portion of the afternoon in his bees.Wore himself out and went to bed early.

I didn't get to see my woodpecker but I heard him and saw the robins so spring will be coming.

I've been seeing my woodpecker the past week. I don't know what kind he is but he has been coming around for quite a few years.

My helper made an amazing bacon-cheeseburger meatloaf, sooo good.

It’s not snowing, just raining, and temps to be in the 40’s for the next week.

Today was definitely a day to be indoors.We got quite a bit of rain....old fashioned thunderstorms with plenty of lightening but no threat of tornadoes.Kind of enjoyable,and we do need the rain.I made a gigundo batch of chocolate chip cookies for hubby,got laundry caught up....a quiet and peaceful day.

For anyone who's been watching bella hummingbird live webcam, there was big trouble on Sunday and a hummy mama was killed. However, her babies were rescued and taken to a rehabber, and a first in the world of live hummingbird webcams and for birders in general, the camera is now focused on a bushtit nest.

Both parents are involved in the nestbuilding, which is also unusual - eagles are one of the few (only?) other birds where both mates build.

An amazing cycle of life - and hats off to those chat/site mods, as well as the property/camera/website owner, for resilience and a very sharp eye

Sunny and temps in the high 40's today - that's fine with me!

A fence privacy screen is on order for the shelter's dog exercise yard. That's something we've wanted for a long time, since signs asking people not to walk their dogs right up to the fence have had little to no effect. It should put an end to at least some of the frenzied barking we hear multiple times a day.

Demi actually ate his pate this morning. That's a positive because I've been trying to switch him over to pate for so long. Let's hope he eats his dinner tonight.

I found a job that might actually accept me for once today - a nursery nurse apprentice (which is what I always wanted to do at school). I've been applying for endless numbers of jobs but to no avail. Hoping that this is the one.

I hope so too, fingers crossed they offer you the position.

After going to my Zumba class which I absolutely love I decided to give myself a break and take it easy. Carleton and I watched the tv show, The Good Doctor. We both enjoyed it, of course, he slept on my lap through most of it.

Pasta for dinner tonight. What could be more positive than a plate of pasta? I'm adding superhot Carolina Reaper powder to it, which means steam will probably come out my ears. Heaven.

Can you please take a selfie of that?

Looking forward to a girl's night out tomorrow with close friends.

I was having lunch today and someone who normally works in the main office joined me. On Wednesdays some people from the office work from the lab instead. It's nice to get to know those who work in the office
