Woke up this morning to cool and rainy. Of course! That's because I have so much to do around here! I went to McD's to get breakfast for Meg and me, noticing that the garbage cans had been knocked over and something had been gnawing on the bags. There has been a stray cat around here, so I figgered the critter had been rummaging. A little while later, I went to get something out of my car and noticed the kitty in the turned-over can. "Get out of here, kitty-cat!" Kitty-cat scurried off...and while it was scurrying, I noticed it wasn't a kitty at all, but an opossum. Now, I'm an animal lover (although you can't tell it by the posts I have made about the former-resident canine) but I don't like 'possums. They are ugly and sneaky and downright nasty. This was in broad daylight, so I decided we were done with him for the day...but no! Not too long thereafter, he was climbing on the split-rail fence in front of the house, probably trying to figure out how to get to the garbage cans that I had rigged to be out of his way. Hey! I thought 'possums were nocturnal! Maybe not when they're hungry?
So far today, I have done laundry and assessed where we are in the scheme of things. The garage project is pushed off until early May, possibly. Next weekend is a 3-day weekend for me. Maybe I can get everything done then!
