Oh Linn, that is hard! One more heavy thing to come to terms with. Coming to terms does take energy.

I knew I needed a de-tox bath last night but did not feel like it so I woke up feeling like nothing at all, fed the squirrels, had a light brekkie and took a bath. Then spent the morning catching up on the internet.

Rousing wildlife rehabbers to do better PR, or trying to. Put the wrong words in another place and got shouted at, yet again, by someone who is just too angry. Took a lot of time to decide whether to ignore her or try to respond. I ended up giving her a very thoughtful response. Probable that she will misread it and be angry all over again. oh well. "I do the best I can and I am sure you do too." Cannot exactly tell someone you hardly know, on FB, that you feel sorry for their pain and anger but are tired of being hit with it. But....

Still need to write a message, tonight, to my troubled friend about the book, Unchained Memories. I keep hoping I will say something that will inspire a response. Also hoping I do not say anything that will make things worse!

Squirrels are enjoying the bigger cage and starting to be more active. I hope the weather will be warm enough for them to move into the large outdoor cage in early June. A 3 foot cube in the kitchen is rather a nuisance!

I had to find a way to keep the modem dry and still outdoors! I did it! In a dog crate turned up side down so the floor protects it and the cord connection is on a high stool with a large plastic bag over it. A different arrangement did not work.

Drove by a house for sale - totally unsuitable so that is off my mind. So far we have missed out on 3 possibilities due to the chaos of our lives. My life would be monumentally uncluttered without R. So I need to un-clutter my brain - as in - that is his stuff; I do not need to deal with it. He is a lousy driver; I will quit worrying about it - just scream when he scares me too much! I need to find a place to live that I can afford and his clutter can stay at the mill. I am letting it weigh me down. (this is a just now at this very moment revelation.)

Now to write to TF.
