alfreda89: 3 foot concrete Medieval style gargoyle with author's hand resting on its head. (Chai anime)
I did not sleep at all last night (or slept in 10 minute bursts, blast it) so W got up and went to meet the people we were going to Burnett with by train. (I find no note otherwise, so that is my guess.) I just hate this -- apparently the 5htp is as crucial to my recovery as the drugs, because for various reasons I forgot the supplements last night.

I have a pile of Xmas catalogs that has passed two feet tall -- and I haven't ordered from a catalog for at least a year, using the Internet sites instead. I walk past it carefully, as it sometimes seems to be eying me and sliding ever-so-carefully to one side....

Maisie is animated. I went over to see what she was so excited about, thinking it was a lizard, and resigned to letting her have this one -- and saw something large and striped disappear. I think there is a snake under the office breakfront. There must be a ledge underneath, since I can see no snake nor feel it with a ruler. I keep trying to convince it that I am a much better choice than Maisie as a finder, but it's scared and not moving. If, when I see it, it is small and striped long like a ribbon, I will try to catch it and put it in the garden. If it has horizontal stripes, I will be call [livejournal.com profile] tia_tarina for snake retrieval. I hope it snuck under the garage door and down into the office. This is preferred -- otherwise there's a hole someplace large enough for a snake!

Good thing Inky and [livejournal.com profile] bevhale aren't here. To say they don't like snakes is an understatement.

Re-planted several plants in the wee hours Saturday am. Have more potting soil, and will try to re-pot everything else, along with finishing caulking. The next scene calls, but must do things before I forget -- like new weatherstripping for the front door. (Very hard weatherstripping up there -- probably from the house being built perhaps 30 years ago.)

I was emptying leaves out of the Kraken today (a Polaris pool cleaner, and highly recommended) and as I walked back past the steps in the shallow end, I saw a greenish snake just over a foot English long, with a white stripe on his sides and a yellow on his top -- over yellow and black checks/scales -- wiggling his little heart out trying to find the place out of the pool. Well, he had no rattles, and I was very brazen -- I just scooped up his tail and zipped him out to the concrete. He wiggled once, thought about it, and then zipped over to the dry leaves by the stone flower bed, where he slithered along and is undoubtedly under the deck staking out new territory.

I am a snake wrangler! Did not even shake!

(It looked like kin of the one in the garage...)
