arright gonna try this sleep thing again, wish me luck

so instead of lying in bed not sleeping, I'm going to play World of Warcraft, because why the hell not. 9___9

* while trying to go to sleep, I continued reading (on my phone) a book that has been increasingly interesting to me.
* by the time I realized what time it was I'd spent two hours lying in bed not sleeping.
* WELP.

I have no idea when I'm actually going to be able to get to sleep, but it's not gonna be anytime soon. :|

went to see Black Panther (which was beautiful and fabulous), and got a Coke icee to drink, without thinking about it carefully.
* I've hardly had any caffeine for the last couple of months.
* the movie started--and I started drinking the drink--at 6:50. I usually go to sleep around 9 or 10.
* I have had problems with insomnia in the past, and have specific routines to prevent it--which I forgot to do when I came home and went to bed.
* (but wait there's more)

gotta enjoy it while it lasts--it's supposed to transition to rain pretty soon and wash the remaining snow accumulations away. :(

and suddenly it's *pouring down snow*. O___O

morning! one upside of the snow melting--a crow shows off their collection: http://www.falseknees.com/305.html

okay, sleeptime. gnight awroo <3

the volunteering thread in a Dreamwidth post: https://dracosaur.dreamwidth.org/1886.html in case you prefer to read it that way.

and we have a barn owl, who was brought in unresponsive and expected to die overnight, and now three days later is scheduled for release next week. apparently he was just weak/dehydrated, and may have had a muscle injury in one of his wings, but it's cleared up completely and he's fit and feisty now! I didn't get to see him either. XD

and... that's about it for the critter roundup!

we still have the otter, she's doing great; got her broken tooth removed, is completely recovered from that, and is due to be released next week.

we also still have the saw whet owl, whose prognosis is still guarded but positive. oh, and we now have a red-tailed hawk, which I was hoping to watch as it got its exam and radiographs, but that was scheduled after my shift was over. they didn't know exactly what was wrong with it, hence the need for the exam.

the quartet of bear cubs have been woken up from hibernation and did a lot of hilarious gronking during the morning. we also have a new fifth bear cub, a female who was found eating garbage and dealing with resultant digestive illness, but aside from being malnourished seems otherwise fine. she's been put in an enclosure next to the other four, with a very strong grate between them; hopes are to integrate her into the bear pack next week.

I retrieved the tray while the rehabber grabbed the rat (this bald eagle will only eat rats. won't eat any kind of fish, or quail; just--rats. THE MAJESTIC RAT EAGLE, EVERYONE) and tossed it back onto the perch, and we exited hastily. EAGLES ARE REALLY BIG. so that was exciting. XD

other than that... washed dishes, cleaned stuff, tidied the nursery in preparation for the coming squirrel avalanche.

and so--the Critter Report!

who doesn't get much more excited than walking up and making "skrerk" noises with his mouth open, so he's easy. the other is an adult female and I have to admit I was pretty damn intimidated by her flying around, occasionally grabbing onto the walls, and hissing at me. the rehabber helped distract the eagle as we looked for leftover food (there wasn't any), then I put the medicated food on a perch and the eagle POUNCED ON IT, knocking the food and tray onto the ground.
