The week starts again...

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague.
Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?
- Edgar Allan Poe 1809-1849

So the week starts over again. I know a lot of people consider Sunday the start of the week, but its always been Monday for me. I prefer calendars set up that way as well. The date book my mom gives me every year is perfect in that way - set up Monday-Sunday. Logical. LOL

I am excited over the car (see generic stock photo). Sharky drove it in today to do a mini-diagnostic and check on the a/c. One of the major plus about broken a/c in this car? The windows are manual. Thank Goddess for small miracles. LOL The Purple Tranny's windows are electric and the driver's side is broken up (well, that's better than broken down lol). The Neon should be more affordable to license and insure anyways. Definitely will do better on gas. Don't get me wrong, the Purple Tranny would be fun to keep, but it will be a major cash drain for a long time and we just cannot handle something like that at the moment. OK, it is now insured. Definitely cheap. *phew*

Walked Petunia to school today. After she walked cross the street, I noticed a small bird laying dead on the sidewalk. I found a piece of notebook paper in the grass and picked him up. Didn't want to just leave the little body just anywhere, so I took him home and buried him in the front yard. I looked him up online and he appeared to be a male Pine Warbler. So beautiful. There wasn't any apparent trauma to the body, so he wasn't gross or anything, but I did not feel right about taking a picture of him. Because of our grass/weed situation in the front yard, it is very hard to dig even a small hole, so I hope he appreciates what I did for him. LOL I know, silly, but it makes me feel better. Wish I could have done the same for the mousie a few weeks ago, but the whole decapitation thing (by a feral cat) really freaked me out.
