this weekend annie and i had a gruesome discovery. there was a very large, very furry, very dead squirrel in the driveway. it was awful. we think it was electrocuted because it was directly below the transformer. also i lost my land lady's cat, but i'm sure he'll come back. right? i'm glad that everyone liked their presents. i got a very lucrative coupon from my mom for new glasses but i cant get to the eye doctor in time. i'll just need to come to terms that new glasses are not in the cards. i balanced my check book today. it's amazing. i hadn't written in any transaction prior to this. but now i feel bank savvy, as i should. i hope sarah isn't dead. she's been incognito too long. they said we're to expect flurries today, but i see nothing. not that i mind. i have no desire for snow. and we have to go to walmart today and get a snow scraper for annie.
