Brutus and Lil Guy are continuing to deal with a deteriorating nest. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...27d5b21d68.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...10c4a9f4f2.jpg Brutus is doing well, tho he flies to the parents resting spot often to express his dismay with their menu selection. Both eaglets have taken to flinging uneaten amoured catfish over the side of the nest. Lil Guy is 3 months old today and still keeping us waiting for his first flight. Most first flights are "oopies" rather than deliberate - a broken twig or branch, a misstep and flying it is. In the meantime, he seems intent on dismantling the elastic straps holding the camera wires in place. He has torn two off thus far. |
Where to begin....
So I've had this same job for almost a year and a half. Started out great....slowly declined into not so great. I realized some time ago I was ready for a change. I just needed to find a good job that fit my skills and helped me along on my path. So I did. Now, my job that stressed me out is in the past and I'm feeling all kinds of anxiety about letting go. Seriously. What's that about? I've always been an excellent letter goer. I don't dawdle I DO. I don't get why this is causing me so much angst. Unless it's going from familiar to not familiar. But... I moved 800 miles away on my own to a new state, a new life really. I'm so not this girl who lives in the past and dwells on regrets...so... I just don't get it. I guess it's just a matter of time. But I just feel so very sad...my heart almost hurts. |
My mind
Two things;
First my kitty is not getting better with me throwing meds at her and then going to work everyday so I stayed home today to make sure she gets food and water even if I have to force it into her mouth. Next a woman at work complains about me talking to project partners and coworkers everytime she is in a bad mood. I talk to people about business not personal stuff so it is not like I am sitting around chit-chating all day. I feel like she is targeting me and that is a form of bullying. So I am going to report her to HR. This makes me so angry. |
My boss came in yesterday...shocker! I was there. She seems to stop by when I'm not, and then proceeds to throw me under the bus to my managers.
Anyways, she needs me..lol. Her boss will be in town next week. She actually let me give my input. And ....wait for it.... It worked! It's always been her way. Which isn't always the best choice. Not holding my breath, this can flip on a dime! |
Making sure I have all my ducks in a row before I head out to travel this afternoon.

My neck issues......................:blink:.

My Dad...
I woke remembering a dream from last night. We were standing just inside the open garage door, looking at the night sky. I saw three shooting stars........... Making me smile this morning. |
On my mind
My kitty, the vet pulled a hail Mary this morning if it works we are good if not things will be very bad. I am pouring all my hopes into my kitty for a full recovery.

Brutus and Lil Guy are continuing to work around the limitations of a nest that is now a 4th of the size it should be, with more falling away daily. Lil Guy is gearing up to fly, branching out farther and farther, flying from branch to branch but he hasnt taken the plunge yet. He has had a couple of almost "oopsies" tho thanks to his older sibling. There was a pushing episode at the end of a branch and a butt wiggle in the nest bed that almost knocked him off. And a couple of times winds gusts caught him by surprise when his wings were fully extended. Poor Dad tried a food drop off this morning. At this age, it is safer for the parent to drop food than to deliver food, even in an intact nest. The kids know a parent means potential food and are jockeying for position, in their mantling poses - draping their 6 foot wing spans like cloaks to block and secure an area. Parents are at risk if they try to bring food directly into the nest, so they tend to hover and drop. Not sure if Dad himself fell thru a hole in the bottom of the nest or if he just dropped the fish thru the hole. But, you could see him thru the hole searching for the dang fish while dodging falling nest material, courtesy of his children flapping, jumping, and squeeing at the top of their lungs. He never attempted another flyby, so I'm gathering he didnt find it. Was looking at pics from the horrid sibling rivalry stage when Lil Guy was struggling to get enough food to survive. Had forgotten the size difference, hence the reason I call him Lil Guy. This was them about 6 weeks ago. Big difference for hatching just 1 day apart: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...a86f230306.jpg This is them this morning (Lil Guy is the one with his back to the cam): https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...c2f9f8fd13.jpg Amazing and nerve wracking. :) |
On my mind...
Her.....how I miss her
Us.........knowing she misses me as much Work.......a lot going on there |
being grateful for having 2 amazing daughters is what's on my mind

Death
PRINCE My oldest and dearest friend, Found already gone when her partner awoke that morning. My friend's dad. Taken off life support last week. My loving and faithful companion of 13 years. I'm doing all I can, Dr's too but it doesn't look good. This has been a very taxing few weeks...I'm all cried out...mostly. Prayers welcome |

Consider prayers sent...and hugs too... |

that life has never been the same. Family spread out all over the place. I can't be everywhere at once, but I'm trying. I am getting too old for this!
That one day, one storm, one horrific twist of mother nature can really turn your world upside down, never to be the same again, ever. |
Lil Guy finally fledged today. He made it to the tree across the way and back to the nest tree. People were commenting on how he made a less than spectacular return, landing under the nest in a heap. Knowing Lil Guy, that landing wasnt an accident. He knows Dad dropped 2 fish under there. He is still looking for them. :) https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...3e63ce8c74.jpg |
My inability to forgive and forget when someone betrays me. I'm trying to work on not holding a grudge. After five months my former best friend wants us to work things out. She reminded me that my spouse's health is declining (as if I don't know this) and life is too short to hold grudges, and she wants to help me with her, etc etc. I really have to think hard on this.......:praying:
