The early bird gets the worm? The #magpies slept in late this morning, and the #crows were too shy so my sandwich crust went to the #fox!

#BucketMouse is different. Loved its playground for days, fed and watered by my visiting youngest. Then they told me it was bait! Bucket mouse got a little nutty. So I let it out in the garage. He's a vengeful critter. He sneaks into my kitchen, eats my fruit, rattles chains. A fair haunting I think

In case you're wondering -feeder mouse got frantic, ignored in the snake cage for days. it began attacking, unsuccessfully. I couldn't stand it. I grabbed it with a towel and put it outside. I was pissed it might hurt the snake, but also hated its madness, and pissed at the damn snake.

No wonder the thought of rereading HOL seems like a comfort to me. It filled my mind when I read it, soothed me in a time of mourning, and prove it really was for ME!

I'm not much more than a #smallfurrycreature myself, wrapped up in a pudgy middle-aged body. I shouldn't have thoughts like these. I'll only feed the rodents. The kids come down from college weekly to feed the reptiles. And they don't always eat.

"Hey mom, can you watch 4 rats over xmas break?" and they're all still here. But it's 8 rats - 2 giant cages, 4 snakes, and a tank full of gerbils that started to... breed. The feeder rats are so sweet who decides they become pets? Which mouse goes in the bucket, gerbils' babies are going to be fed?

10-year-anniversary of reading #HouseofLeaves. The book's been creeping up on me, ever since I found out some of the rats left in my care were (failed) feeders. A mouse was left in a bucket to lure a missing snake. Another mouse lost its mind in another snake's cage recently.

#ForestBathing in my driveway before starting up an intro to #Bookbinding course. Okayyyyy, I'm just sitting outside checking email and texts. (I left my parasol inside)

Now to reread #therewillcomesoftrains by #raybradbury to balance things out. Looking for an audio read by a woman, a gentle voice, but I am not finding one to my liking. But first, a couple of fried eggs and toast for breakfast to make the morning complete.

Re-reading #Ihavenomouthandimustscream for horror book club and, as a treat, I am listening to the audio version. The torment, the caustic words heard aloud give the story a sense of poetry. I miss #harlanellison and hope he is at peace. youtu.be/dgo-As552hY?...

Creep! Sneaking peeks at me while I was watching #WecomeToDerry and cawing the details to his friends. Get your own #Roku! The least he could do would be to come tapping at my chamber door like a proper gentlecrow. #Poe #TheRaven #Crows #Critters

Venturing into the big ole city of.Denver to see del Toro's #Frankenstein at the #MayanTheater. And I realize, I have no idea which century I was in the last time I was here. I KNOW I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show here in the 80s or 90s, but who knows the last movie here.

How was *I* witchy today? Made my own anti-wrikle fabric spray, complete with essential oils. Hey! that shit is magic. #WrinklesBeGONE

The only time I've found Tom Cruise enticing. Totally hot for everyone else though.

Porn. That is all I could think of. I am ashamed at how basic I am today.

Does this say more "gothy colander" or " nah nah nah nahnahnah nah Batman"? If only I'd found it in black. #bats #goth

Serious ass #crow murder party this morning! I was not invited and they left minutes later. A brunch of 🪱 🪱 maybe?

The #chipmunks are especially #feral today. I am afraid I will fall into becoming a Quiet Poster if I do not get back into the posting groove.

Just joined #Bumble to make friends and connect with the world. Advice? Will probably use it for dating in about six months. Definitely need advice on that!

I am so behind on this! I even went to Worldcon and had #MarthaWells sign a book. Watched her on a panel, and had no idea about a new book was coming so soon.

Saw #thelongwalk film and... it was fine. It was good. Makes me want to read the book again. Really felt anti-war sentiment of the government chewing up and spotting out young men. And why? For what? Not for the betterment of anybody who the sent in.
