msfledermaus | Ugh...the hotness...the hotness...

You know, I would be so happy if we could just fast-forward a little bit to fall. Any old time now...

Yesterday I came home from the Mines and found that we'd lost power while I was gone. The a/c was off. Lucky for me and the Littlest Orca, his fan had kicked back on when the power came back on, and these days I always put a frozen water bottle in his hutch for him to sit his fuzzy butt on. Shamu was not a happy little guy though. I wiped him down with a cool, damp cloth and sat with him while the air conditioner did it's best to cool off the apartment, and now he's his usual perky self. I'm glad he's so resilient--weather like this can kill a rabbit. I fret about it.

Otherwise, I'm so happy I finally got enough sleep. The night before last I had some electronic chirping, every 15 minutes. It was one of my co2 alarms, wanting new batteries...at 3 in the morning. I disemboweled it, and then had trouble going back to sleep. But last night, I conked out, slept through the night with no beeping, and feel much better for it...
