So, been puttering along the last couple weeks. Finally have to admit to myself I am no longer young and immortal and I really should stop trying to do things like go to work when I haven't fully recovered. I'm STILL re-couping from that cold, tho it is now just a very annoying cough. Going back to work that Wed was a very bad idea, ended up home again on Thursday. Ah well, with luck I should be able to dodge whatever germs the students still have on hand to infect the rest of campus with the rest of the semester. So we've been mostly not doing much at all on the weekends, just puttering and watching a lot of Netflix and Hulu+, tho we may look at ditching Hulu as their interface sucks and the vast majority of the mini commercials they show are of Alec Baldwin and we are SOOOO sick of him that even hitting mute doesn't help. I will, however, have hubby hold off on dumping Hulu until after we finish Ellery Queen LOL! So fall is here and the weather is wet, at least

I really, really, really, really hate being sick. Been sick since Friday night when I started getting a sore throat and it went downhill from there. Had no energy to do anything except sleep and sit, tho I did manage to fix a few of the new phone cases that Zazzle had uploaded to my shop and migrated some designs on. Designs didn't fit, so had to hide them all and then fix them and repost them for sale. Still have a few more to go. Watched a lot of Netflix and the race. HOOOOOOO boy!!! Interesting fallout from that race. Will be interesting to see what happens now in the Cup portion of the series. Decided Sunday night there was no way I was going to be able to go to work on Monday, needed another day of downtime. Imagine my surprise when I woke up at 3 in the morning to go find the sore throat spray to discover the power in the house was out. Even more surprising was the neighbors to the east and west still had power. Finally got the hubby up and he went out to check. Seems

So Rum Tum, his usual vocal self when he comes in with prey, does so at 5 am this morning. I mutter "Good kitty" and rolled over and went back to sleep. When I finally got up this morning I fully expected to see either a mouse or the remains of Rum Tum's breakfast. Instead I was greeted by this in the hallway: I could only stand and go "ERRRR?!?!?!" and then stumble into the kitchen to get coffee going. Once that was done I went back in and scooped up the critter and laid it out on some tissue on the washing machine before letting hubby know what he might see on his way out of the bedroom and then grabbed my camera. We were not at all sure what it was, I've never seen one before. Wicked little teeth on it: Wrapped it up in plastic and into the deep freeze while we tried to figure out what it was. Hubby finally figured it out to be a long-tailed weasel, tho I thought weasels were a lot bigger. I used to have a pet mink and this little critter is TIN
