Ezra ( my dog) and I were at the dog park playing with his buddies this evening when a little old lady (I kid you not) came up to the fence very distraught and told us that a bird was trapped in one of her bird feeders. So, even though birds make me a little nervous, I left Ezzy with the other puppy parents to see if I could help. The little thing was hanging upside down from the feeder. I very carefully put my hand on him and took the feeder down (it was on the lady's balcony). The birds toe was stuck in between the perch and the main part of the feeder. I was able to slip his toe out, but I think it may be broken. However when I released him, he flew right away!! I hope his poor little toe heals and doesn't hinder him too much! I'm so glad I got to help a poor little creature in need, and the lady whose balcony he was stuck on was very happy too! She told me how much joy seeing the birds at her feeders brought her, so I'm glad that there wasn't any damage and the bird was fine.

The morning and afternoon of my day was not nearly as gratifying. I'm obviously been having a rough time of things at work which is starting to wear on me :/ My other tech, the injured one, was able to stop by today and visit for a little bit. There was so much going on from different fronts that I literally burst into tears this morning. Things calmed down a bit, but I was still pretty much on the verge of crying all day. My boss has hired a "relief" tech, an LVT/RVT who will be helping me out for a little bit and I will finally get some seriously needed rest.

Other stuff: I drilled holes for my old desk drawers all by myself! I'm such a big kid . My doctor loaned me his drill and I did it last night. I did have to have him fix one drawer though, I wanted a handle instead of a knob on it, and I had put the two holes a smidge too close together. He also let me borrow some min-wax and now the drawers glide smoothly instead of snagging. Hurray home improvements!
