Aww, hell. That sounded like wings. Do I have a bird or a bat in the house?

I don’t know where a bird would come from, but we get a bat or two every year. Those guys shouldn’t be up and about yet, should they?

I looked at the date earlier tonight and thought, oh, yeah, that’s plenty of time. Then I was in the kitchen thinking about lunch for tomorrow and went, wait a second, that said the 5th. Today’s the 6th!

But it was the sell by date so I figure freezing it today is fine.

Ground chicken is gross.

I bought some and didn’t use it, so I transferred it to a vacuum sealed bag and put it in my freezer. It’s just so squishy and unsubstantial. I know this because I added taco seasoning to it and smooshed it throughout by hand.

Then washed my hands three times.

Och. I need someone to come clean and organize my house so I can get a puppy.

Pseudotriton ruber sounds like an awesome insult.

I love that pretty much any sports fan could use this quote at various points in their lives.

Think I’m going to have to go with Freaky Friday with Jodie Foster.

Though Rocky is probably up there.

Guessing Rumi never met the Mississippi.

Had a follow up today with my doctor and she sent me for bloodwork again. Why not do that before the appointment?

Anyway, for the smaller range of things it tested, my numbers were better. Sodium was up into normal and glucose down into normal, so I’m both salty and sweet. Nicely balanced.

I alien-abduction-style moved my turtle to put him under the heat lamp. I wouldn’t have, being that it’s still early for spring, but he swam up to the surface to see what I was doing. Not eating yet that I can tell, but moving about.

That was 9 hours ago and he’s still there.

I usually say I'm more a dog than a cat, personality-wise, but I have a rice heating bag that someone made me that I've been using at my desk to keep me warm/keep my hands off my cold desk and I just spent a minute or two kneading it like a cat making biscuits.

At least the Kings are currently beating the Islanders.

Sorry you had a crappy experience… and the Pens didn’t silence her for you.

Lot of hard work there… almost 5 minute shift from 65, good movement and chances, but not enough.

Pens need to not be cute with the puck.

Okay, maybe he did mean to whack him. Ha.

I don’t think he was trying to slash the dude, just get his stick back into play, but that’s just my opinion from up in the 200’s.

Well, he got too close to their goalie so he got cross checked into the side of the net, turned, cross checked and took an overhead swing at the guy. Dropped his gloves and then stopped to check on the guy.

Let’s see.

Play under review? Dude took a swing. Not surprised at a game misconduct.

Malkin smash.

And then stops like, dude, you okay?

Wait! *I* don’t have the smell! I have the smell in my nose.

Rusty!!! As he skated in, I said, “You know what you do,” and he did it!!!

Pens get the SH goal back.

Tall guy moved to sit in front of me. Argh.

And for some reason I have this distinctive smell of coffee and hot sauce. It’s a weird combination.

A Wealth of Bones is my next book title.
