green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

iced tea made, thing read and replied to... now sewing, maybe. or maybe just back to reading book. or messing around on computer? I don't know! *luxuriant flailing*

also I have decided on making iced tea, but have not actually bestirred myself to make the iced tea, so I may not have iced tea today. I might manage to make some tonight. we'll see how it goes.

OH AND I need to read a thing and sew a thing. I have Things to Do! ^___^

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

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.

took a shower, now attempting to cool down enough to reliably get to sleep, as tomorrow is a volunteering day. :| I hope I don't wake up at 2 am again BUT WE WILL SEE

yep... this gluten-free chicken pot pie is definitely... a chicken pot pie. not bad, not anything to write home about.

please tell me there's a strain of weed for sale somewhere called Mulgore Green. *is RPing a Shu'halo peace pipe ceremony*

ugh... it is still oppressively, unpleasantly warm. I do not like this. D:

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

Nar is flopped out on top of the cat tree STARING at me. every time I look at him he reminds me--LOUDLY--that it is (almost) food time.

anyway I went out and did the things and got a big ugly floppy hat and it helped a lot, but it's still hot and horrible outside.

here's a recording of the same kind of whistling I'm hearing outside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j90-DDYo7JE

okay now I can hear the Cooper's hawk fledglings whistling from my apartment. they are VERY VERY EXCITE XD

and it occurred to me as I was walking past them that they are very likely exactly why the crow family doesn't hang out here any more--and they may be responsible for the loss of the one crow fledgling. that's nature for ya...

okay, gonna finish my yogurt then head out. boom

oh. the fact that it's already half a million degrees outside might have something to do with my state of ungruntledness. bah. need to go to store today, specifically for canned cat food, which I'm not sure will otherwise last until I can get it Thursday, since tomorrow is my volunteering day. *sigh*

and if I'm gonna do that I should probably start doing it sooner than later because it's only going to get more miserable the longer I wait. :P
