Sorry I've been so quiet. Busy at work. I've been feeling run-down the past couple of days, so have pretty much slept the past couple of nights away. Feeling better now, though; phew. I was worried I was getting sick (although, come to think of it, it would be the first time this year, so I'm doing pretty good - knock on wood).

Wailey got out again - on a day when I made them a nice, yummy, huge salad! (Mustard greens, squash, zucchini, peaches, kiwi...) He'll turn up in this field of weeds we have going on in the backyard, I just hate it when he's gone. The low-enclosure-walls situation will be remedied soon. And I would like to expand the enclosure to give Wailey a nice, covered burrow-type area to hide in.

Despite brushes with illness, Wailey being M.I.A., and my present fluctuating hormone levels, I feel very content right now. You know, if this works out, I may just have to turn Hoelscher on y'all and start trying to set everyone up; after all, this is a really nice feeling. Wish me luck. :)

By the way, tomorrow is my beloved Dawny's 29th birthday. She is really just one of the best people I know. My best friend, even though I'm pretty sure that chick with all the cute kids beats yours truly out for that title. I honestly have to just stop and shake my head every once in a while at what an incredible, caring, trustworthy, sweet, loving, and very strong person she is. I hope I'm just like her when I get to be her age.. although I only have, like, five months, so I don't think it's going to happen.

Dawny & me, back when we were young'ns.

I sure am glad our moms decided to get us together when we were, what, 14? Love you, girl. :)
