other ups: caught an illicit glimpse of a baby seal; saw the juvenile Cooper's hawks again this morning, and they evidently have a couple at PAWS also, because I heard the whistling and went "I know *exactly* what that is!" XD
downs (animal death, not explicit)
unfortunately the owl that I'd seen last week didn't make it, which wasn't surprising--it was in bad shape, too bad shape for them to figure out what exactly was wrong with it, & it died overnight. also today we got a great blue heron who'd fallen out of a tree, and was very weak--similarly, they didn't know what was wrong with it, but it had lost a lot of blood. I wasn't in the room when it was euthanized, but I came in right after. the vet & I were both teary.
home from volunteering, finally cooled down enough that I don't feel like I'm going to immediately melt.
today had ups and downs. ups: saw a pileated woodpecker on the way to the bus stop & got a picture; while cleaning the aviary ward I got to see a red-breasted sapsucker try to escape, and a barred owl being vigorously annoyed at humanity; watched bobcat kittens being cute for a while; did satisfying work and did not die of heat stroke.
Bluh.

Opinions about sushi
@KawaSeadrake @starkatt I am also in this camp, not least because I usually can't have the complicated rolls--they have sauce, or batter, or imitation crab, or something else that is on my "nope" list. :|

@Soreth @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town it takes time, unfortunately the time it takes is often proportional to the amount of hurt done, as well as the amount of time invested into the matter as well. you have all my empathy as you go through your healing process, hon.
he does this thing where he puts his forepaws over the edge of the tray and sets his chin down between them, and looks like a Muppet. kills me with cute. XD
