Yesterday we saw Stacey, K, and Y off on their mission to Michigan.  S is staying behind for the few days.  He seems much more self-regulated and well-adjusted.  He kept himself entertained all day, and had a friend over for hours, playing outside for much of the time.  Avdi was able to work at home undisturbed, and I had my work cut out for me.

My rat commission allows me to go in Y’s dumpster of a room and make some sense of it, and it was a nightmare!  Avdi and I got some before-and-afters, and it really was the hazmat from hell.  It will take me the three days to sort it out, but I made good progress.  The rats mostly slept through the shoveling, laundering, and disposal.

Later on we had a very abbreviated charcuterie meeting.  E consented to come out of hibernation for a few minutes.  S’s role was to eat.  Jess joined us.  Later, her sister Rachel came over with rum and coke, and we watched a “scary” Brit movie.  I got bored and played with rats.  They love me now.
