5/30: Anyone but the Bug, I would’ve felt sorry for. He’s just lucky that birds have a very rapid digestive tract. With another species he could’ve been stuck in their for days.

5/29: Lenore is quite willful and determined. I had to attach the “bungee ear chain” because she kept diving on her own and I was having to catch her all the time.

I mentioned this the other day, but I wanted to emphasize that I wanted to remain within the rules concerning Lenore. Happy Memorial Day, everybody! Coming from a military family this is an important holiday for us.

Obviously I’ll have to do a lot of research on this. Even so, how could I say no after being imprinted?

5/24: The first order of business was to look for the raven’s mother to return it to the nest, but Rusty and Patina assured us that they climbed the tree and did a thorough, unsuccessful search.

5/23: I arrived at Wendy’s with the household in its usual uproar. This time the occasion was an egg that Rusty and Patina had found in the backyard, which was hatching under the warmth generated by Wendy’s notoriously high-temperature laptop. A tiny, frail baby raven emerged and took immediate notice of my piercing ornaments. It’s really cute.

5/22: It’s Sunday afternoon, and I’m on my way over to Wendy’s house to deliver some papers that need her signature.

5/20: I’ve tracked it down and eliminated it, so that threat is over. Still, I’m personally offended that my unicorn avatar was used in this way.

5/19: To me, there’s nothing sadder than an empty urn.

5/18: After that vastly expensive lunch, Ms. Trellis insisted on taking me to a dress store of my choosing. I knew she would veto Junkman’s Daughter, but I was aware of another place that had high-end Steampunk styles. We spent three hours there, and while I enjoyed the process and was pleased with what I found, I couldn’t help feeling…bought. As I told Wendy, tho, I see any material ownership as just temporary.
