On my mind
As some of you know I am a dad and with father's day coming up I have been thinking that it would be a great time to take my son's and grandson fishing.
I love family time! :thumbsup: |

Sigh
Today's update from CROW: Lil Guy is currently fighting an infection in the broken bone of the right leg and is receiving daily antibiotics. A culture was taken to identify the bacteria causing the infection so the eaglet can receive the highest standard of care possible. His blood work came back normal and the eaglet continues to eat on its own and is perching. The eaglet will not be moved back outside to the small flight enclosure until the infection clears. --------- Kind of a bummer but an understandable setback. Good that he is still stuffin his face. If you watched the video of him and the fish last week, you might have heard him making a clicking sound in between bites. Thats an eagle's way of warning others away from their food. It's good that he is doing this. Thankfully, he is old enough to not become imprinted with the people-food connection. ----------------------- This weekend CROW got a new patient. A pelican hatchling from Sanibel that was found on the ground. It arrived lethargic and bleeding from the eye. It has been placed in an incubator where it sleeps a majority of the time and is intermittently vocalizing. It has been striking at food (fish) and remains quiet, alert and responsive. The pelican will receive fluid and nutritional support. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...62bd61366a.jpg |
these are just a few of things on my mind:
...the deceitful brevity of life ...a presentation I need to prepare ...going to the dry cleaning, post office ...the 'what's for dinner' question ...the sublime and the mundane |
How some people who claim you are so important in their life can act so non-chalant when you tell them they are hurting you.

Update from CROW: Lil Guy continues to fight a serious infection in the right leg at the location of the femur fracture. The eaglet began receiving antibiotics on Monday so it's too early for results. The results of a blood chemistry profile have come back positive/normal. This test is used to measure different chemical aspects of the blood including kidney function. He continues to eat on his own and has maintained a body weight of approximately 7 pounds. (He was up to 8.5) |

Why can't people just go off into the sunset and leave others alone?
Why do other people get involved? What drives people to thrive on drama? I love my drama free life and want to keep it that way. |
That people only want to engage when I'm the fun friend.
|
Everything but what I need to focus on.
I have rough draft for a week long celebration of our organization planned for September. Complete with three events, food, decorations. (Nothing I actually get paid to do) I planned activities for another department to tie into my theme. I need to make a call that I've been putting off since yesterday. (What I'm actually paid for) I will in 13 minutes. |
How crazy it is to deal with Microsoft! I just spent 3 hours on chat, and then phone with them because I evidently had a counterfeit version of Windows 7 Professional running on my desktop.
First they told me I had to purchase a new OS, then I was informed that oh yes, I could buy a product key but it would cost $79 + $119.99 for them to "assist" me with the install. I was polite, but stuck to my guns and finally got the right person in tech and bought the product key for $40 and stayed on the phone while they installed it remotely. All seems good now! :) |

That man is my liquor store guy. He was not "out of work" he was OFF work. Hahaha. He had a treat waiting for me at the store tonight. Happy endings, yay! |
It....hurts...When a friendship/relationship/whatever..."should" go both ways. Not one person putting in the effort. It makes me wonder what would happen if I suddenly stopped communicating with the people in my life who are important to me (am I important to them). I'm a good person, a decent person, and am generally liked....Or at least I thought I was. So why is it just me doing the work - 95% of the time with a good portion of the people I have in my life. If I am indeed worth your time, best you start stepping up.

It's been a long, productive day. I'm ready for a salon day.
|
Father's Day. Everyone is talking about it. Or I'm just more aware this year.
I miss my Dad, this will be the first one without him. |

Good luck with whoever is being problematic. |
CROW's Lil Guy Update: Happy National American Eagle Day! Lil Guy continues to fight a serious infection in the right leg at the location of the femur fracture. The eaglet continues to eat on its own and is gaining weight and weighs approximately 8 pounds. He is putting weight on the infected leg and using its talon to grip. The eaglet was moved back outside today to the small flight enclosure to help reduce stress and allow the eaglet more room to move. The next update will be this Wednesday. |
I really wish someone or something could have warned me about how much patience I was going to need today so I could have prepared better.

Lil Guy update
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...9be225c9e5.jpg
Recent radiographs show improvement in the infected bone. A bacterial culture was taken today from the bone to see how well the antibiotics are working and we expect to have those test results back next week. He remains bright, alert and gripping with both talons. The eaglet remains outside in the small flight enclosure where it has been standing and perching. We will have another update on Monday. If anything should change in his status before then we will be sure to let you know. |
That it's a real trip how different the view can be from the outside, verses the inside.
