August 1st

Three weeks of summer vacation at last! It is also Happy 1/2 birthday to me! Yep, half a year has gone by since my birthday and finding out my dossier was through the review room (finally). Unfortunately it has been another 6 months of just existance, not living. For a few months now I've been going out on a limb, so to speak, to actively bring some fun and purpose into the daily routine (both work and personal). And yet nothing is panning out. I can't seem to figure out how to jump back into the land of the living! I pretty much have another year to go before I have a little one to take care of. A whole year of choices for me and "free time" to do whatever, whenever in my work & social life. And yet I'm stuck in the status quo. Not that I should complain about the status quo, ya know? It's "perfectly fine" to quote my 3 year old niece. Trouble is, perfectly fine is not working. But s'ok, just a lil' pity party. =)

On to other things. The other night I heard Bernie whimpering supposedly over an animal she found in my garden...ok, more appropriately termed an area of wild plant growth! Yesterday I went out in the daylight to check out the spot. I saw movement and almost fell into the tall plants! Thankfully my brother came over to investigate further. He determined that the animals are bunnies! They have burrowed into the dirt surrounded by lots of tall leaves & flowers. Shane helped barricade off the area so Bernie & Gracie will hopefully stay away from that area for the next month or so til the bunnies realize they'd better hop over to the next dog-free yard.
