So, how was your day? Did it start out quiet or happy or calm? Hmmmm. When I climbed out of bed this morning I looked out my bedroom window, as I always do. I would live in a glass house if it wasn’t indecent! BUT What did I see? There was a huge skunk running around the bottom yard, sniffing and trotting and exploring.
Exploring….
He (?) skipped up the path, explored the bench, then ran across the hill by the fence. I think he was trying to get out. Finally he managed that, and nosed around the driveway for a few minutes. He must have found another way into the yard because next thing I knew he was by the deck. It looked like he went underneath but then I didn’t see him again today.
He is FOR SURE not SMALL!
Where is he going NOW???
Ken told me to keep an eye out – if it was running around in daylight (they are nocturnal) he was probably just passing through. Barry said just call Animal Control and get him out of there now! Rege just grinned. He has skunks in his neighborhood and sees them all the time. What to do?
This looks sketchy to me….
Work, however, was a challenge. My PENNDOT verification program was not behaving, and I tied a customer up longer than necessary – but it in fact WAS necessary. Can’t do title work without the verification. The next two deals tripped up, as well. I got home about 1:30pm, but by 3:00 Rege was calling for help. So I zipped BACK down to work and handled a problem. I was actually glad to help and have something go smoothly!
I made a few stops on the way home. The first time I popped into the mall, looking for things I couldn’t find. I did get a little purple flowers and butterflies soap pump holder for my bathroom – they discontinued the bottles that I really liked. So this was a concession to fixing that. Bummer – but beautiful.
The toilet seat in my downstairs bathroom was cracked, (soft vinyl, so not sanitary) so I bought a new one at Ollies. I had burgundy before but I couldn’t find that anywhere. So — White! Good price. I even changed it myself! Yea me!
Looks pretty good!
I took a few minutes to make chocolate covered mini-chocolate chip cookies, and have a bowl of potato soup. Answered emails and did some research and changed the batteries in my TV remote (have to have the TV on!!!). So that’s it for the day!
Just a few….
TODAY I am NOT thankful for skunks!
Don’t look so sad! You KNOW you’re a menace!
QUOTE of the DAY:

Galentines Day – celebrate with your girl friendships, ladies! I think it’s kind of easy to always blame someone else. We should all have a wing man, right? I eat alone all the time…. God bless…
