Relatively Painless trip to Minneapolis. Spent much of the weekend working and monitoring to see whether this trip would be postponed at the last minute. It wasn't. I'm ready for several possible weeks.
I spent this weekend doing mostly nothing, not even much rabid gaming, as I'm starting to crisp up and burn out from too much work. I tried to actually relax to get myself together and have the energy to be good this week.
We need to fill our vacancies as I know I can't keep this up, and we're all slamming comp time - plus knocking ourselves out when we are on the clock. You can't always sprint.
I feel silly writing. I feel not very important, which is fine, but why record all my tiny little thoughts and observations?
Yesterday while I was gaming in the AM, a baby landed on my window sill like 3' from my head. I talked to him or her - "I didn't do it! I don't know why he flew into the window but I'm sorry!" This morning I saw one of the hawks on murder branch, and he or she was screaming. I watched, and he hopped...which I thought was cute, so I talked to him. "Hop! Hop again!" Then I was surprised to see a squirrel running up the trunk towards him, but out of sight. Then I looked closer and realized the hawk had a squirrel in its talons, and the cute hop was probably part of the screaming death of a (baby?) squirrel. The other ran out the branch, pausing frequently - as if wanting to save the dying animal but terrified of the predator, but the hawk just flew with his prety to another tree. Squirrel followed.
Nature is horrible.
