Battle of Cuteness

Here's the Asheville nest with a mama sitting guard.  No babies yet, just some dedicated egg protecting.  This mama is used to an empty house and me looking out the windows too long scares her.  Here are the sneaky pictures from a distance so I don't spook her off the nest.  

It a battle of bird cuteness. 




Today is cleaning day and everything needs it.  Fingers crossed my back holds up.  First a quick Trader Joe's run.  I set an alarm to remember I have Spanish class today too.

My neighbor is actively saying hello this visit again.  She's the one who has ghosted me for walks several times and ghosted stopping over for a drink too.  She's odd.  Here's a moment I want to be left alone and she's all up in my visit.  When SHE'S the active one, she's super nice and friendly, but then crickets when I initiate.  I think she has some mental health issues.

Speaking of which -- I'm still trying to pull myself from this funky mood ... with no luck yet.  I've sunk to the murky depths -- hah, but not hah.  Sucks down here.  I'm making a big effort today.  

I slept like a newborn baby last night.  Really slept.  It was so nice.  I thought I'd get myself all spooked about being alone (ghosts and home invasion, of course).  Nope.  Set the alarm.  Told the ghosts (that only would be here when I'm sleeping alone) to have at it -- just don't wake me.

I'm considering a sleep monitor thing like Oura Ring or Whoop for my birthday.  Both are recommended.  One is a ring and one is a wristband.  I'm leaning toward the ring.  It can tell you how your body responds to food, alcohol, etc when you sleep.  Monitors for hormone changes, exercise v rest, etc.  This seems like a good tool to figuring out my best days -- because of my best nights.  Oura Ring is more upfront, less for monthly subscription.  Whoop is free for basic (from what I can see) and then hefty for the monthly subscription.  Now that I just wrote this -- yep, Oura Ring.  

Fingers crossed my back holds up and its a good day.  Hope you have a nice weekend -- later gators.
