Kevin's Watch

Having a quiet Saturday morning and getting my panties untwisted.

And lorin, at least one of them is probably losing his job this week. He has a week off with no pay so my husband can think about whether or not to give him another chance.

My son decided this past week he is going back to college; he went and got himself accepted to a pretty major university and I am so proud of him! My daughter is playing "Pepper" in Annie later in the week so I am stoked about that too!!

congrats on the good new deer.



me and my friend Mike at the zoo. he is a zookeeper for the aquarium. he asked if i could come back as a volunteer when my leg heals. i said yes, so i have that to look forward to! i would be able to work with him every other friday. julie will try to get back on volunteering with hoofstock those days.

the have a new octopus i am very eager to ineractive with.



i have missed my beard, so much grey in it now. will have to shave it when i go back to work.

Looks as though you had a good day, Sarge

I shall be home alone until Monday. My daughter will arrive soon and she and my husband will go down south to his sister's 60th birthday and 40th wedding anniversary party. As my daughter had the weekend off, I suggested she go and I would dogsit. She hasn't seen her cousins for a long time.

Perhaps a good opportunity to clean the house up a bit without interruptions.

Botheration, I forgot - I have a great pile of photocopying downstairs waiting for me to bind into 70 books! Wish I'd got it done last week now

Deer- yay for some of this exciting stuff...

Very cool and exciting... just hearing you talked about those water rodents and turtles, I can see you liking this! I like the detail about you looking forward to interacting w/ the octopus.

lol, awful!!

One would think Passover would be the perfect holiday for a low carber, but since there are certain items I only make for the festival, I had to at least taste them, right?

Actually looking forward to returning to my low carb WOE, starting tonight.
...I think.

It's been a rough few days. My mom died early on Wednesday morning. She'd broken her hip the Thursday before. Though the surgery the next day to repair it went well; she had no appetite afterwards and it was only a matter of time. Wednesday was a long day.

The visitation was last night, so the hardest part is done. While there is still there is much to do, and much to go through, I can begin to take a breather now and then.

I am very sorry for you loss, Damelon. Not an easy time.

Hugs to you Damelon. I know how devoted you were to your Mom.

I've been without house internet for a few days so now I guess I'll get caught up.

Worked my first Saturday since inventory today. It was ok. I'll post details in my blog thread. I've had some humorous moments and a very uncomfortable one over the past few days that I'll blather about.

Thanks for all the nice things you guys said about my opossum post. I loved that little guy but they really are very unsuitable for domesticating so I knew I had to give him up eventually from the beginning so I am just grateful for the experience and that I got to give him back to the wild full of life rather than the alternative.

Hugs to them that needs em.

julie's mom is not doing well. three falls this week. she is staying with julie's sister for now. she sounds awful.

damelon - you are in our prayers.

linna - george who runs the aquarium hates for us to say play, so we interact with the animals. i am very excited to see what new fishes there are. my sharks are gone but there will be something i fall in love with. if they do not have any seahorses i will do my best to complain til we get some more. love seahorses.

I am a bit shook up. There was a car accident in front of my house today. Dumb ass teen on one of those loud fast motorcycles. He ran the light and was hit and killed. They left him just lying there for hours and hours, uncovered. I saw the young woman that hit him. All I could think of was more than one life was lost. How will she ever recover form such an event? Just really sad.

Thats sad, lorin. Poor kids family and that poor woman.

Oh wow.

{{{lorin}}}

I am sorry you had to witness all that, on top of sorrow for the lives affected.

Damelon.

Lorin, that sucks. I feel really spoiled now. I had a great day with the ladies. We went to brunch, then got our brows done, then back to Julie's house for their first viewing of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, which they loved. Then we lounged and watched some really bad lifetime movie network movies and dined on Julie's homemade pot roast and iceberg lettuce wedge salads.

Sorry to hear about your loss Damelon. Wishing strength for what is to come.

Sorry to hear it Damelon.

Thinking of you.

Sorry Damelon, and lorin. Death sucks.

Funny how you feel kind of angry when someone throws their life away like that. Whereas Damelon's Mom had a life and it's just sad to say goodbye.

for all!!

So sorry to hear about your mum, Damelon. My mum was called Irene too!
