Sorry, sister, you never catch up with those lists, but you can put a dent in them a day at a time.

My cat Brunhilde seems to have adopted a young raccoon. He has been coming around for a while now. I think he must be an orphan. The problem is, he thinks he is a cat. He doesn't eat his (well, Brunhilde's, actually) food with his paws, he eats with his nose stuck in the bowl, and he doesn't wash in the water bowl. He won't eat the fruit I put out, only cat food. Brunhilde sits right next to him while he eats.

So how do I get a confused little raccoon to realize he is a raccoon? I suspect his raccoon skills aren't terribly good and I don't want him to starve. Any wildlife rehabilitators here who could give some advice?

So I asked my husband to send me flowers at the bar today for my birthday ( [Yipee] ) b ecause I was hoping to hint to my grumpy old men that they should tip me for my birthday. Well, that didn't work out so well, but I did have several offers of birthday spankings [Eek!]

I think you should get in touch with wildlife rehabilitators in your area. The raccoon probably should be taken away from your house and placed in a facility that more closely resembles the wild.

I just had to share this...

My mother, who usually forgets my birthday (as if she wasn't there) actually remembered this year. Woo Hoo! Acutally, I'm guessing my aunt was the one who mailed the card, since my mother is currently on a month-long cruise somewhere, but that's another story. Anyhoo...mom enclosed a check (yay) made out to the wrong name. She did get my first name right, but she used my husband's first name as my last name...

Two TS/Hurricanes rolling so far -- one aimed at Central America and the other wandering the Atlantic, is that right? No problem in the Gulf of Mexico so far... still a lot of season to go given that I recall some TS action as late as early November in recent years.

In the shape my roof is right now, a good direct hit by a Cat 3 hurricane would take it off for me. Hmmmm. Tempting...

I got a letter from the electric company today saying they are lowering my rates. I don't think this ever happened before.

It will work out to only about three dollars a month, but I'm still very pleased.

Hubby has his DOT physical* today and has spent the past few weeks in absolute knots about it. Since the beginning of the year, he has been eating right and getting more exercise and has lost quite a bit of weight. We don't own a scale so I don't know how much, but he's down to a 42 or so waist in his jeans. I've been telling him that everything will be fine. Even being as big as he is, he's never had high blood pressure but he's terrified they are going to want to put him on pills. Telling him that being stressed before the exam is NOT going to help keep his bp down goes in one ear and out the other. I'm waiting to hear back this afternoon how things went for the poor dear.

*Having a commerical driver's license, he has to take a federally mandated physical exam every two years to check things like vision, blood pressure, blood sugar etc. Doing poorly on the physical can mean any number of things, from having to take emds, to having to do the exam every year (or more frequently), to worst-case scenario-not getting his health card, and thus losing his job. I get why he is stressed, but, for a change, I'm not worried. He'll do fine.

Yet more 'sweetest couple ever' fodder, Pata watching sports for Rug and BH's mister needing her calm influence. [Smile]

I was happy about my quarterly tests @ the doctors' coming back with such good scores and a 10-pound weight loss after the Red Earth/Santa Fe/Four Corners meet, remember?

Me being gone all those days in June precipitated the FG's fertile brain coming up with a plan to retire. He's coordinating a lot of re-org, re-furb, and hopefully soon a re-roof @ the house. So far so good.

Except that he's retired, and can wander around by my office and wheedle me out to lunch with him... or breakfast before he drops me off in the morning... or dinner out so I won't have to cook after work...

I'd best get a grip on this or I'll gain back that 10 pounds and add another 20! All this food food food!

Hooray for meteor showers! I was just down at the lakefront to watch the Perseids for about 30 min. The peak won't hit until about 2 am tonight but I was able to see about half a dozen little blips in the sky including one very bright streak that brought cheers and applause from the crowd gathered on the beach. All that, with waves from Lake Michigan crashing on the shore. How lovely!

It's 12:30. It's Sunday.

First, a little worship: Agnus Dei

Then, a little turn around outside, to see if the rains have left enough crystal black sky clear to spot any meteors.

Then, to bed.

Holy, holy, holy. Worthy is the Lamb, to receive praise and honor and glory and power...

Still in the 100's here, but the humidity has rolled in the last couple of days. I can take the heat as long there is no humidity. I've lived in states where they've got humidity and don't know how they do an entire summer with high heat and humidity. I left as I couldn't.

I didn't see any of the Perseids since most of the sky was socked in. There was a slice of openness to the east, and that allowed me to see the Jupiter-Moon-Venus show. Mercury was there, too, but the clouds covered it up.

It's extremely humid out, but with showers and cloudiness all day, it's only 77 degrees outside. Not too bad for August!

DARN, I missed the Persieds, too. I had them on the calendar, but we got so involved with the Olympics....

AND, did you see the Olympic closing ceremony!!!! Holy crow, sometimes it was boring, but when Eric Idol fell out of the cannon, and then the nuns on roller-skates singing "Always look at the bright side of life" I thought I was going to die laughing. I did like the Spice girls and Annie Lennox entrances and the Who?

Spent Saturday painting part of the ceiling on the deck. Now the new paint makes me want to repaint the whole deck ceiling. <SIGH> Got some new aspen trees, hope these don't die like the last ones, (maybe a prayer or two for them?) [Roll Eyes]

*****************************

Apparently, August is Breastfeeding Month. The lactation consultants at the hospital sent our pediatric clinic a big ol' box of cookies. Pretty, circular sugar cookies, all in what might pass for fleshtones (from pale sugar-white-pink to sand beige to chocolate) with appropriate nipples... erm, I mean, appropriate decorations in the middle... that looked like areolae and nipples. You know what I mean. I saved the last two for the FG, a pink-on-white and a brown-on-beige. Somehow he knew exactly what they were supposed to represent without seeing the accompanying card.

Large fires about 25 minutes from our home. It has been burning for 3 days now and is about 30% contained. What ever that means. No danger for us just a lot of smoke. So hard for fire fighters with daytime temp. over 100 F. So sad as many ranchers were having to leave and move their livestock. What makes this really bad is that it appears that the fires may have been set. 3 fires all started in a short time of each other. I hope this turns out to be untrue, because that would mean at this point that the nut case is still out there. Much praise and thanksgiving for the hundreds of fireman coming into our area to help.

It's way too easy for Nature to set a fire, and for silly Man to accidentally set one. The thought that some nutburger might set one a-purpose, in malice, or in a stupid power-play "I am the star of my own mental soap opera" kinda deal... agh, it curls my nose hairs.

Last two fires are 60% contained this morning. I would guess it will be some time before the cause of all the fires are determined. Amazing set up and team work by all involved. Airdrops, ground crews, heavy equipment, moving people and animals out of the area along with feeding and housing everyone. These people are truly professional. [Angel]

Mr. Boogie is Da Bomb! Well Done!

I'm off to meet St. Sebastian for lunch. He texted me while I was sharpening knives. Do you think he knew? [Biased]

Good job, Mr. Boogie!

That reminded me of a story that I saw in a local paper the other day. Another cross-country ride, this one taken by a group of local teenagers.

I was impressed!

[Big Grin] You offering any that have been on your person?

We actually had soup and salad and lots and lots of conversation. Many problems of the world were solved.

St. S was actually kind enough to let me show him all the pictures I took on my trip...including about 600 of Bach's statue at Thomaskirche in Leipzig. (Yup, I'm still over the moon about that!) In return for his kindness, I gave him a pic of St. Sebastian from the Heidelberg castle. Aren't I just the nicest friend?!

Well, yes. Some things one can just take for granted.

My legs ache in sympathy. Congrats to Mr. Boogie.
