It's a melancholy sort of day.

I watched Inception with Sara this morning; I'd forgotten just how incredible that movie is!!

I'm making a batch and a half of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, if anyone would like some...

I worked 6 days this week, averaging about 9.5 hours each. Which means I slept in until 11 today.

A lot of animals have died this week. I should be used to it by now, but when a little tiny squirrel, who I've been encouraging to live for over a week, starts to go downhill and then dies at the end of my shift it makes my heart a little sad...

...all these poor orphaned babies weren't given the choice of leaving their moms, their home was destroyed, or someone kidnapped them with the best intentions, or their mother was killed.

We got 3 baby cottontails in two days ago, covered in fire ant bites. The poor little darlings were dehydrated and in pain, but so far they're doing alright and eating pretty well. I pray they survive.

Lily makes felt creatures, animals, and books. She let me make a felt Totoro with her supplies today. Fun times :)

I've discovered that I'm going to need to buy all my corset making supplies online. They're not readily available anywhere around here.

My hair is getting longer, and thicker. I'm not sure what to do with it. I may just purchase a few bandanas and commit to growing it out. Or chop it all off again... debating, debating...

One of WRR's favorite volunteers committed suicide this week; which made it a bad week for everyone. It's so hard for me to know what to say in situation like that. It's so sad, and there is little comfort to offer.

I was able to go to church with Stacey and Brandi this week, which was quite nice. Although I'm not sure what it was about the service, but the persistent perkiness got on my nerves a little bit. I guess I feel more comfortable when I know that the joy is honest...

I haven't had a decent hug in nearly 3 months. Somebody who gives good hugs needs to come visit me.

I think I'm going to watch some Stargate Atlantis now, I don't feel so great.
