I am so sorry buddy, I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Chad

You are right; 2017 is year of the Rooster. Happy birthday, little pullets and cockerels!

I'm a Tigah! Specifically, a wood Tiger.

I'll keep Beethoven and Usain Bolt and the Dalai Lama but am happy to give back Tom Cruise and Joseph Stalin.

:blink:


I love bowling!

My condolences.

Thank you Chad and Gemme.

My sincere condolences, JD.................

I'm sorry to hear that JD. My thoughts are with you and your family.

My choice to postcard was most certainly the right choice. The gathering was held in a big barn in Poughkeepsie. About 150-200 folks came? Mostly women spanning late teens to in their 70s-80s. I sat next to a woman celebrating her 72nd birthday today so I made her a card while we were making postcards. There were women with young babies nursing, toddlers and youngsters playing around, dogs weaving in and out, and a lot of good conversations. They had us set up to mostly send postcards to officials we are fighting against but I also added to our list to send thank you notes to Elizabeth Warren and others who are on our side and fighting hard. I also wrote to Kellyanne Conway and requested a personal meeting with Trump for a small group of women. Ha.

We're getting snow again...

I just hope the housekeeper can get here in the morning so I can go home.

Ever wish something different would happen?

I do. All the time. I attribute it to the restless, nomadic nature of a Sagittarius.

I seek roots then I rebel against them...I'm a walking conundrum.

Maybe I just feel caught in a rut. Maybe I'm just scared because things in my life have achieved some level of homeostasis. Maybe it's winter blues. I don't know. I just feel like I'm waiting for something yo HAPPEN. Maybe it's just time for me to make something happen.

.....

Thinking about it!
 

On my mind:

Bella's surgery. I'm a little freaked out for her but I know it will be fine. Her vet is amazing and I've worked with him for almost 8 years so I trust the process. Just a little bit EEK-Y about dropping her off and waiting.

Love that fur blur like crazy. <3

We lost both of my dad's parents within a month, right after Thanksgiving. I miss them.

I'm tired of working full-time and going to school full-time and lining up doctor appointments. I am starting to forget how it is to have down time that isn't just on the weekends because those go by too fast and I just want to sleep.

Already ready for this semester to be over so I can have summer break and breathe before jumping into multiple math classes.

Just going to remind myself all this stress will be over soon, and worth it. One day at a time. Ommmmm.

I think I need some mothafuckin' yoga, yanno?

This insomnia and how much it's gonna make tomorrow suck.

I am the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

I gotta buy a white flag and just carry that fucker around.

Hang in there!(f)

How much time I should leave to clear off my car before therapy.

On my mind
 

I cannot remember a time when I did not have to run everyday to keep up with my work schedule and my chores.

Spring is coming and that is the busy time for biologist. I am going to be super busy.

I may need to take more vitamins and work on my stamina.

:knighthorse:

(((((( JD )))))))))) so sry:vigil:

Buying land..............

(((((Ocean))))) thank you.

What's on my mind is: my girlfriend and Monte and soon to be grand child ��

Monkey mind ... that 'one' you know who you don't want to want but you want her to want you but she doesn't but you don't stop wanting her still, y'know? LoL And, all the new photoshoots I've been on recently and the lack of time to clean up the pictures for my clients and when am I going to be able to quit my day job so I can do this gig full time. And, planning for my vacation to Assateague Island end of April and how excited I am that I'm counting days - 83 as of today. And, that I overspent a wee bit today shopping but justified it to myself as birthday gifts to me since I have to spoil myself you know being freaking single and all! Oy LoL but I did get some lovely new things today and for a few moments, they made me very happy. And, then it all circles back around to why doesn't she want me and I decide I need a klonopin and a warm bath. I'm exhausted thinking about what is on my mind.

Not being able to sleep. Again.

There is an Executive Director's position open at a local non-profit. I have been interested but lost my resume years ago and never made a new one since I have been at my work for over 10 years. The idea of creating one myself has been daunting so I haven't thought much about the open position. My son had a woman who owns a resume building company do a presentation in his class today. He gave me her card. I checked and the ED position is still open. I just emailed the the owner of the resume business. I am going after that damn job!! Excited!

YOU GO GIRL and remember keep the resume to one page

YES! Do it up!

On my mind
 

I have an awards ceremony to attend soon and it would have been nice to take a date. I will be grateful to attend the ceremony with my coworker.

I am just saying a date would have been nice. Haha!

Where are the Texas femmes?

:cowboy:

People who are one dimensional. How boring.

The BIG change I made inmy life while I was away from here.Some friends and family are still telling me I'm crazy and made a stupid choice, while a few are pretty supportive....... I guess the bottom line is it was MY choice to make and I don't recall asking any of them THEIR opinion..

Anything and everything right now.

I really want to finish the drag shack...

On my mind
 

Knowing that I am over booked most of the time. Ugg.

Wondering why, after all this time, I can't just let go and move forward.

Why the hell do I need three hours in the morning to wake up and get ready before I can go to work? Why why why!?!

Fuzzy socks.

On the morning of Friday, February 10, 2017, the non-profit American Eagle Foundation removed one of two eaglets residing inside a wild nest in Northeast Florida due to a problem with one of its legs.

This eaglet, known as ‘Peace,’ along with its sibling ‘Hope’ and parents ‘Romeo’ & ‘Juliet,’ are the stars of the Northeast Florida (NEFL) Eagle Cam. Their daily activities are live-streamed 24/7 via two high-definition video cameras on www.nefleaglecam.org.

On February 6, 2017, AEF Nest Cam Volunteers alerted AEF officials about noticeable balance problems that this 7-week-old eaglet was having due a possible injury to its right leg. After closely monitoring the eaglet for hours, we noticed black monofilament (commonly used for fishing) wrapped around the left foot, including the hallux.

The AEF immediately began talking to USFWS and making plans to rescue Peace in order to remove the fishing line from the eaglets foot.

Shortly after this discovery, however, the female parent, Juliet, appeared to be pulling and tugging on a clump of moss while going after a piece of food, and it is believed that the parent had removed the line from the eaglet’s foot, because the line was no longer noticeable.

Cam viewers coast to coast were beyond excited that the problem seemed to have been resolved by the parent without the need for human intervention.

On the night of February 7, a storm rolled through the area and caused a power outage for almost 24 hours and electricity to the cams was halted. When the electricity was restored on February 8, it was immediately noticed that Peace was still having significant balance issues and problems with the right leg when trying to walk.

Although the monofilament was gone, a decision was made on the evening of February 8 to continue plans for the rescue, this time with the intention of checking the eaglet for injuries or other potential problems that might be treatable.

On February 10th, AEF President Al Cecere, two professional tree climbers hired by the AEF , and several AEF volunteers, including Gretchen and John Butler, met at the nest site to plan and execute the removal of the eaglet from the nest. The entire process went smoothly. Peace was safely brought to the ground and Hope remained safe and sound in the nest.

Upon initial inspection at the nest site by a local Vet Tech from the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey and AEF President Al Cecere, the eaglet did not appear to have any apparent injuries. The eaglet was transferred to Winter Park Veterinary Clinic by AEF representatives for radiographs, blood tests and a physical checkup by a Veterinarian and thereafter to the Audubon Center For Birds Of Prey in Maitland, FL, for further care, treatment and blood testing, where the eaglet will stay until it has fully recovered.

Several additional blood tests are being processed and as soon as the results are in, a plan will be made to treat and/or return Peace to its nest.

-------------------

Today, the little bugger is improving but they are still monitoring the leg injury. Hopefully, in time, it will be renested.

Getting a dog.

It's been too long since I've had one and I think I'm ready again. I like little black girl dogs that weigh around 20 pounds. I like terrier or terrier mix breeds, but I'll take whatever I can connect with at the humane society. I'll need to think on it for a few months and will probably start looking this summer.

:dogwalking:

Wondering if I will get a call or an email to set up an interview to go permanent, on the job I am working right now.

Wondering why the galleries here on BFP don't get used very much anymore. I miss seeing everyone's faces.
