update

Last week I had an open house. It was a cheerful, well-fed event. I love my house. I love my friends. Having my friends in my new house was fabulous.

I've discovered a robin nest between the gutter and my bedroom window. (By "discovered" I mean that I finally paid attention to the crazy acrobatics my cat has been doing to watch Mama Bird feed the baby birds.) From the patio chair, I can see three baby beaks pop up when the female or the male land on the nest. I've put out food and water next to the patio. It's far enough from the nest to not be threatening, but close enough for the birds to find it (and eventually the squirrels too).

Work is unpleasant. There's just not enough time nor energy to type out all the details. (Not that I could, given all the legal disclaimers that have been on the bottom of every email I've received today.) I'm just really ready to move on from the big project.

I also found out that I wasn't selected by higher-ups for an amazing developmental program.

Work just isn't a great place for me to be this week.

Peanut turns two on Saturday. I can't hardly believe it.  He even garbles my name now.
