multipurposegoddessWhat was happening with me yesterday? Oh, right:
DH took advantage of the not-raininess yesterday and mowed the front yard while I put up the CollidEscape that should keep the birds from braining themselves on our front window all the time. The cats will be disappointed at the reduction in concussed birds on the porch, but I think they like being able to sit in the window and not be seen from the outside. We later discovered that while you can see out easily all the time, you can also see inside fairly clearly if it's dark out and light inside. I don't know if that has any effects on birds.
Anyway, I filled the bird feeders yesterday and today they are already almost completely depleted. Feathered locusts.
Then he went to play music with a friend, saying he would only be a couple of hours, but he apparently left the lights on and drained the battery and couldn't figure out how to get the emergency roadside assistance that our insurance includes and ended up paying some towing company to come give him a super-charged jump start. The point being, he was gone a lot longer than I expected. We are being homebodies today, doing some laundry, mostly.
Have leftover Pad Thai in the fridge ready for lunch, hooray!
- 09:53 We're on our last pot of Stumptown.
- 11:53 Finally got the CollidEscape on the front window. Did not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Wrinkles and smears add visual interest.
- 19:15 Waiting for DH to return with Thai food. That'll be three times this week, but it was the first thing he suggested and I was craving ribs.
