It’s Friday, finally! What a week, huh?
Anyone else just have an incredibly long, slow week? It’s gotta be planets or something, right?
Mmm, okay, yes, that’s it then.
We’re still unpacking around here, but it finally feels like we’ve made some real progress. Like, some rooms are almost done. I’m hoping to finish off the primary bedroom and bathroom this weekend, but I wrote “hoping” there because I might just decide to take a nap instead.
Overall this week has just been quite low-energy. Is it because fall is coming? I don’t know because I live in California now and the weather is the same every day. We’re supposed to get some rain this weekend and — you may find this hard to believe — I’m looking forward to it? Yes, me, the person who was complaining that it was raining too much when I lived in Chicago. Would like to see rain again. 🤷♀️
Anyway — it’s an animal-heavy week this week because sometimes you just need to look at cute animals. So, if you’re having one of those “six planets are in retrograde” weeks like me — this one’s for you.
If you’re not, it’s also for you. Just…lots of animals. Also — a bit shorter this week to make up for the 10 mile long email you got from me last week. Enjoy!
I’m Being Personally Attacked
Welcome to Flavortown, Population: 1.
I believe this is the average needed for an adult, correct?
Wholesome Fun
Randomly Selected Animal Cutie(s)
The R2D2 mimicry is the best part of this video. SPOT ON.
If you aren’t familiar with Fritz (& his big sister Fiona) from the Cincinnati Zoo, you’ve gotta go watch ALL their videos. Fiona’s grown up now, but she was born prematurely and the zookeepers there raised her by hand. Fritz is her new baby brother. They’re SO CUTE.
Please, someone let me get this close to a raccoon. I’m begging you.
Sidestory: I have only been this close to a raccoon once, and he had accidentally gotten in to a humane hog trap my grandpa had on his ranch (they’d catch them and relocate). I saw him in there and was just totally smitten. I slowly moved up to the cage, talking gently to him, hand extended, and then he leapt forward and hissed and scared the crap out of me. We opened the door up so he could get out and ran away. I didn’t even get to pet him. 😔
All I dream of is handing a hot dog to a sweet little raccoon so he can carry it away and wash it somewhere. Please.
Also, does anyone make a vegetarian Skyline Chili? Asking for a me.
A literal cartoon.
And that’s it! Short, sweet, and lots of cuties. What more could you ask for? Hope you all have a great weekend! I’ll see ya here next week — same bat time, same bat channel.
