4:05 pm,
fires update.
Realized I forgot to post here. Ash and I are located in East Austin, about 20 minutes away from the Cedar Creek/Bastrop Fire. Our cars are packed and ready to evac with all 20 critters if we have to.
We can see and smell smoke from our house but since it hasn't gotten closer, I came to work today but on edge waiting to find out where the next fire is going to spring up. Found out a few minutes ago there was one 5 minutes away from old house. This is insane.
Ash is keeping folks updated on us as well as what people can do to help both people and animals over on our RescueAnimals twitter account.
So far, we're all good and so is family and friends down here. Some have been evac'd, but nobody hurt.
Keep Texas in your thoughts please. And send us rain.

Annual check-up... NO, NOT THAT ONE!
Alive and well... breathing. But even though I don't blog, I do have enough time in my life for a daily 140 character post. You know the drill, if you have one, follow me on twitter. Good times all around.
What has happened lately in my life? I moved closer to downtown Austin, got a little weirder, was promoted at work, flew to DC, spent a day in Boston, got sick (of course), and joined an Organic Gardner's Society. Despite that last bit, my talent for killing any plant I try to grow is as strong as ever. I try. Stupid plants.
Maybe I should stop singing to them.
Other than that. I'm here. What's new with you all?

quick update.
On top of everything else (so much crap in my life right now).
Merlin, my first cat, who is only 3 years old, has congenital heart failure.
I don't know what to do.
The most handsome cat in the world.
He's home and on meds as we try to stabilize him, but at this point, all we can do is make him as comfortable as possible and tell him we love him. I love him so much.
My heart is breaking.
I'm sure he could use as many good thoughts and prayers as he can get right now.

Respect Your Mother, Yo!
Coyote Secrets by WolvesKeeper
“I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets. It has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful. Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and benumbs my brain, I seek relief in the trail; and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me – I am happy.” ~Hamlin Garland, McClure’s, February 1899
Happy Earth Day!
Celebrate your mother and take care of her. She gives us life. Let’s give her a little love in return.
