grooves and eagles and sunshine and adulting.

It's been a crazy day. I've been in an oddly good mood, considering I got diagnosed with arthritis and bone spurring in my back this morning. My back has been giving me trouble for 2.5 years though, so I am glad to understand the cause better, and to know better what to avoid to keep it from getting too much worse too fast.

I think the sunset walk in the park with Josh last night helped. I usually try to walk an hour after work if I haven't done any other exercise that day. Sometimes it's only half an hour but I aim for an hour, especially with this nice weather and these long lingering days. It's really nice. Easier to do things that are good for my mood when it isn't cold and rainy and muddy out.

Went to silks after my ortho appt. Today is my Saturday. Although there is always work. Scheduling more appts, Thursday and Friday are all full. Shipping out more orders, I have two more for today, I should have finished those but I got distracted. I am uploading documents for a new thing and it's scary and very adult, wheeeeeeeeeee. I will finish the orders tonight and ship in the morning. Must write out check and pay quarterly taxes tomorrow also. I am scared to look at my to-do list, there is always so much to do.

Tomorrow morning I have another blood test, this one I have to be fasted for. Tyler and I will go mushroom hunt after on the mountain.

Josh and I walked to the coffee shop together in the balmy sunshine when I got home from silks, and took out trash and recycling, and he sounds more positive and supportive about the very adult potential process we are considering going through. He's working hard. I am so proud of him.

Josh wants tacos for dinner, gotta get cooking. But wanted to say, I don't usually like house music but this mix was *really* lovely to have on while doing all of that paperwork today.



There has been such excitement on the eagle nest today! Mom and Dad brought five fish! The babies are eating well! They both appear to have food comas at the moment. Since they have fledged we go many hours with nothing happening on the nest, and only occasional sightings in nearby trees, so seeing all the fish and nomming today was pretty fun. Our juveniles will stay baby-ish for a few more weeks as they learn to scavenge and steal and begin to practice hunting.



(The current screen cap of the live nest cam is from winter before Gizmo hatched, the chicks being fed are Misty and Sunny, Misty did not survive a really rough snowstorm in early March. That storm was so bad Jackie was frequently completely covered up to over her head while brooding, and it knocked out the sound and infrared light on the nest camera equipment - otherwise we would hear the eagle's chatter better - for now, sound is being used from a second camera set up on a different tree further away.)
