Alright. I'm not feeling so great lately -- not wildly up and down, but just sort of quietly unenthused/unhappy. You always have those happy moments, you know? But this has been this way for most of the week. A lot of it is stress; the work stress, the pet stress, and a couple of various relationship stresses. I can march boldly forward with those and hope they resolve themselves eventually, but if this doesn't lift in the next couple of days I'm going to have to figure out somethign else to do about it. I'm thinking that some sort of two-day communications blackout might be a nice reset time, but this isn't very convenient for that right now. Maybe in a day or two?

Anyhow, the rats made it in to the vet, where they got dosed with revolution in case of possible mites/lice. I'm hoping they'll stop scratching now. They're really nice animals.

I headed into a pet shop to look at rat carriers and saw three week old(!) rat babies for sale, a whole feeder tank of them. Some were beautiful tawny colours. However, I think my rat collection will not increase right now -- it's enough of a pain to introduce/quarantine the boys, I don't need that again soon.

I've been reading some interesting things about rats: there's a website called, IIRC, petrats.org or something like that that has some neat stuff, as does the userinfo on lj's 'ratties' community. One of them tells how to build a large cage with a kid's swimming pool as a base. :>

It's been raining like crazy here lately. After all that sun this is good for a number of reasons -- the seeds I planted will sprout more surely if there's no chance of them drying out, and our watershed desperately needs it -- but I find that I'm not used to the rain anymore. Ah well, time'll do it.

I don't think I gave The Planting List yet. Last weekend, there were:
mixed soybeans
mixed soup beans
the tomato transplants
squash (zucchini, pumpkin, delicata, and buttercup)
collards
purple potatoes
sunflowers, a couple of kinds (more to go)
swiss chard, the red kind
mixed salad greens
more peas
more radishes

And can that have been it? Oh well. :>

Take care.
