Summer Reading is officially over! Whooo-who! It the strangest thing, at the beginning of the summer I am so excited and looking forward to all of the additional programs & presenters. By about mid July, I am ready to curl up in a ball and cry! This summer has been exceptionally rough. We were short staffed at my branch and I ended up working six days a week two weeks in a row. That is just no good! This week we are finishing up the RFID tagging so we are still busy---but not nearly as busy as it has been.
Things at home are good except the whole Squirrel situation. We had this brilliant idea to have Squirrel seperated out downstairs in the dining room. The hope was that Squirrel would get used to being downstairs again and that being able to sniff noses through the babygates would allow all kitties to re-connect. At first this seemed to work, so we took down the gates and had everyone mingle. After one full day of togetherness, Anna again started stalking Squirrel who again turned into a big scaredy-cat. I swear, this was such a huge let down. So now, I am trying to find Squirrel a new home. This is really stressful and it is breaking my heart to loose Squirrel. I sure hope I can find a nice home for her.
School does not begin until August 23rd, so I am really looking forward to having three more weeks of down time! Thats all for now. Hopefully I will post soon with great news about Squirrel!

Skanky Hanky
Ok--so we are living in the twenty first century here right? What is the deal with the hankerchiff? A tiny piece of fabric that you blow your nose in and then place in your pocket, only to be used later to blow your nose in. This has got to be one of the most disgusting things that people do. Yuck!

My Pirate Personaity Profile
You are The Cap'n!
Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

Trouble in Paradise
So, the anti-anxiety pills for Squirrel are horrible. I have given her two pills now (she takes 1 every 36 hours) and I hate the way they affect her. For probably 24 h0urs after I give her the pill she is like a Zombie. She sleeps most of the time and seems confused when she is awake. I hate this so much. I think that I have to find Squirrel a new home. She is such a sweet cat... incredibly loving. I hate the thought of finding her a new home, but I think I will be ok with it if I know she is going to someone who will take good care of her. She deserves to not have to take anti-anxiety medicine that turns her into a zombie and to feel safe in her own house. She seems ok upstairs, but Anna has taken to sitting at the gate at the bottom and staring at Squirrel. That just seems really strange to me. Poor Squirrel. Well, hopefully we will find a safe, happy, animal loving home for her. I think she would really enjoy being an only cat. Here are some recent pictures of Squirrel. She looks a bit vacant, but that is just the medicine.
