Just wondering...I'm not from the land of any snow, blizzard, or drifts. But, this shoveling of walks, what if you went out and shoveled every two inches or so? Of course it would have to be daylight. But is that too much work, or just wait till it's over?

This storm brought wet, heavy snow. It was pretty initially but not fun to get out in. It's harder to manage than light, fluffy snow and there are a lot of folks out there that are not physically able to get out in it and shovel every hour. Shoveling is very hard on the system and because your body warms up so quickly doing it, people sometimes don't realize that they are not properly dressed/prepared for it until they are frostbit or in the beginning stages of a heart attack or hypothermia. I think the death count is up to 27 or 29 now. That includes a mother and her 1 year old son dying from carbon monoxide because the snow covered her tailpipe as they were stuck in the car as well as several shoveling/heart attack and hypothermia deaths and deaths from car accidents. Most snow isn't a big deal. But when you get into feet measurements instead of 6, 8, 10 inches, that all changes. |

![]() 2 new eaglets were born about 2 weeks ago in Florida. All was well until yesterday when it looked like one of the babies caught their leg on something in the nest and was stuck. As it is a wild nest, the wildlife people were contacted to evaluate the situation. They have concluded the baby's leg is not stuck but entangled in fishing line bought into the nest via food or by accident. The leg is very swollen and they cannot tell whether the babies attempts to free itself tightened the line or if the leg is broken. They decided to get a bucket truck and attempt an in nest evaluation. The baby was removed from the nest and taken to the wildlife center for further care. Waiting for the official word on the babys health is nerve wracking for me. One has to wonder how the parents are dealing with this. |

![]() The baby is getting his evaluation at the CROW clinic. The leg (left) is swollen to 3-4 times normal. Nothing broken. No internal injuries. Is being hydrated, fed (eats like a pig), and given antibiotics. Tomorrow when the swelling recedes, he will be tested for nerve damage. Parents are still looking confused, searching, and hyper vigilant. Sibling looks a bit lost and lonely with no one to bonk heads with or steal food from. Hopefully, all will go well and the baby will be returned to the nest soon. |

Yesterday's update on the lil guy was encouraging. The swelling in his leg has decreased immensely. Circulation to the leg, foot and toes is good. He does have some evidence of nerve impairment in his toes i.e. doesnt know where his foot is. It is hoped with physical therapy and more treatment he will regain full sensation and functionality. He needs to be able to feel and use his feet in order to be returned to the wild. Fully functioning feet are essential for his survival out there. The parents are coping with his absence and focusing on the remaining sibling. Dad is busy restocking the pantry with fish, squirrel, and some stuff I cannot and probably do not want to identify. The Mom still voices distress at times and remains hyper vigilant. Poor thing has lost one of her eaglets in each of the past 2 nesting seasons due to illness at 6 weeks. And her prior life mate was seriously injured last twice last year. He was successfully treated and rehabilitated by CROW the first time but succumbed to his injuries the second time. The sibling has adopted a pine cone as a snuggle/cuddle buddy. Not as much fun to head butt and wing whack but it doesn't compete for food either. The video link shows the update, the treatment, and part of the rescue. Video update from CROW yesterday. |

Yes, I am an eaglet freak. They posted the lil guys exam today. He is only 2 weeks old, so body control is not going to be his forte for a few more weeks. E8 (#16-361) is bright and alert and continues to show signs of improvement. The eaglet continues to receive physical therapy and a warm pack on its feet 3 times a day to help reduce swelling. E8’s appetite is strong and is steadily gaining weight. |

The lil guy was returned to the nest today. Was cute to see him bouncing all around the nest floor, exploring all the places he couldnt go when he was tethered to the nest by that line. Sibling tried to head bonk him home but lil guy moves out of the way faster now. Parents returned to the nest. Mom tried to brood with the lil guy but he kept his distance. Dad has tried to feed him but he hasnt accepted food yet. Might have come back with a full crop. Dad was just sitting there patiently. Lil guy finally went and snuggled under him and is following him whenever he moves. Its sunny and hot and Dad makes for great shade. All seems well. Thanks CROW for getting the lil guy back home. |

Work is on my mind. I'm exhausted and worried. My manager signed off on on this project quickly and I don't think she looked at it thoroughly (she's exhausted, too) and that may come back to bite us (me) in the ass. When I get in the office today I'll go over this project with a fine-tooth comb, but I need another set of eyes to look at this because I've been looking at it for weeks. We go live (release to clients) on Tuesday and this is a three-day weekend. So I'm on my own.
I love my job but I hate when we release because I'm always on edge and I hate that edgy feeling I get in the pit of my stomach. I can't eat, don't sleep well, am bitchier. I'll just be glad when Wednesday is here. And I want a cigarette. A mentholated one. Don't know what's that about. I'll have some dark chocolate later this morning. That'll have to do. |

A strange dream I had last night........ Don't know if it was "just a dream" or if the higher powers are trying to tell me something? I have what you call a "sixth sense" about certain things and this has me doing some serious thinking.

Thinking about our off-season tenants here at the B&B where I live, and also manage. They are both Pentecostal ministers who yell, cry, stomp, and shout gibberish for Jesus everyday.

Yesterday, I posted about misogyny and sexism against women. I am going to do an about face and I may receive some backlash, but here goes. I am a submissive woman. No, I did not say little girl, I said woman. With womanly desires and womanly needs.
When I was younger, like most children, I was egocentric; looking out only for my own survival. As I grew into an adult, I often thought of the needs of others and had a great desire to make those around me happy, but essentially, my own survival was of my utmost concern. That attitude no longer served me once I became a mother. Nurturing my family came naturally to me. I found that especially in rearing young children, it’s been useful (and rewarding) to approach my life with a sense of service. I have found a lot of strength in this role. I’ve found a lot of happiness. I like to please. And, I find it rewarding to please those I care about. This honest look at my dynamic was meant to shed light on a learning curve I went through from my early 20's to present. My take on being submissive is one that is natural to me. I realise that I could potentially be accused of setting back women’s causes. I don’t care. This is my life… my journey. I understand that the word submissive conjures all kinds of awful servile situations: a woman chained to a hot stove all day, tending only to the care and feeding of her man/Butch… Perhaps because I grew up in an era after the hardest battles for women’s liberation had been fought, I took it for granted that it would be self-evident that this was not the kind of “submissive” I meant. Now, in terms of what and who I am to that man/butch? I am me. Just me. One day, God willing, I will be in a committed relationship to my Alpha. Can he organise dinner? Of course. Does he? Absolutely. But he just isn’t going to be thinking ahead to needing snacks on a road trip or planning to get that rainbow cake my 6 year old wants for her next birthday party. The reality is that I do most of the things that are traditionally female. Why? It’s my choice. It’s what works for me. Whatever the idiosyncrasies of my own relationship, I bow down and honour all the women before me who opened the road for the comparative amount of liberty women have today. We’ve achieved a lot. And now that we are here, isn’t there room to do an assessment of how it’s going? How is “having it all” working for us? One of the cornerstones of feminism is that women should have the freedom to make choices. We should be able to define for ourselves what makes us happy. Single. Married. Kids. No kids. Whatever. Clearly we’re comfortable talking about leaning in and sitting at the table in the workplace. That’s a real stride forward. But true liberty means there’s room in the dialogue for multiple points of view. Women have a spectrum of choices, and we should be at ease talking about works for us with candor, without fear of incurring wrath for stepping outside the sanctioned vocabulary of how women should live their lives. |
