Loose ends, again

9/2/12

Well, I think the bunnies are launched!  No one was there when I checked the nest, and nothing was disturbed, so I think they're out exploring their world.  YAY!  A really good website for wild bunny info is http://www.2ndchance.info/bunnies.htm .  It helped me a lot with my bunny traumas earlier!  Of the three litters I know of this summer, at least this one was successful.  Dang dogs...

I've been having cell phone problems (dropped calls, no service, etc.) with T-Mobile that I never had before, so I called to ask some questions.  I cannot even begin to describe the frustration at dealing with that automated female voice!  After shouting at the phone and swearing a blue streak, I finally just hung up.  Why oh why can't they just hire a real person??  I tried the trick of just hitting 0 repeatedly, in hopes of getting to customer service, but "she" just kept saying, sweetly, "I'm sorry. I didn't get that - would you repeat it please?  Your choices are ......"  GRRRRRRR!  So then I tried to find some info for Verizon cell phone service and couldn't find anything except packages for HDTV, Internet, and phone all bundled together, which is not what I want!  Maybe I’ll just go back to a land line and get really out of touch!

As I was mowing the so-called lawn this morning, I thought, “My god!  I need a sports bra to mow the grass!”  It is so bumpy still, after all these years.  The guy who seeded our pastures used the same equipment to seed the lawn, so it was all in rows, not broadcast.  The yard is sorta like corduroy, only harder!  A washboard, maybe? 

This is Quinn, totally relaxed.  What a life...  I wonder if cats have any idea how silly they look at times?  They always seem so very aloof and dignified, then they do something ridiculous.

Students start on Tuesday - that's tomorrow!  Eeek!  I'm more-or-less ready, and am so pleased that I won't have to deal with freshmen this year.  I may actually get through days at a time without being called some foul name... what a concept.  But, teaching public school is easy, dontcha know.  After all, we get lots of benefits (that we don't earn, right?); working with eager young people must be a joy (OMG); and we're highly regarded by our administration and community.  Mmm hmm, yeah, right.  Okay, okay, I'll stop.  This year should be much better than last year was, and I'll try to focus on that.  Check in next week to see how it looks after one week!
