8 June


I don’t have much in the way of “blog worthy” information. This is what I’ve been up to the past few days.


The kitties have settled in nicely. Marmalade and Unsub are back to their old routines with the addition of visiting the kittens in the cage. All 3 of the released cats come by and spend time with the caged ones. They even play through the wire mesh.


I began cutting wood for the dresser/changing table. I’m multi-tasking, finishing up on the remaining crib pieces and starting the dresser. My goal is to have everything ready for painting by the end of June.

In preparation for hurricane season I changed the oil in our generator and I’m using up our “old” gasoline supply in the cars. Next is to refill the gas cans with fresh gas and hope that, like last year, we won’t need to use it this year.

Finally, the next time you see a kid eating dirt he may just be depressed. There is an article in this month’s Discovery magazine about a certain soil bacterium that may be able to alleviate depression. The results of a study indicate that you can get a dose of it simply by inhaling it. So if you take a walk in the wild or root around in the garden you might elicit a jolly state of mind. You can also ingest it through water sources or eating plants like lettuce and carrots. So, someone telling you to go eat dirt may be a good thing! Dirt may be the new Prozac.
