Drumroll ...

... I got my monthly yesterday. It's my top story today because this bodes well for my health issues -- at least I think it does and it probably explains my energy issues this week too.

In other top news, we have a large fox lingering in our neighborhood (probably housing construction at the end of the street has displaced him - so sad). Yesterday evening he was in our yard and confronting my dog. The fence held, but barely. I ran, screaming like a mad woman "go away" and my vintage 1950s house dress was unsnapping the entire run. Fox backed off (but didn't go away) and neighbors came from near and far. I guess that's good -- call the calvary, but it was a moment. Holding my dog, trying to cover up, waving that everything is fine. Probably the talk of dinner tables last night. 

This was the fox earlier in the week. He's really tall -- much bigger than our usual foxes.

This is making dog stuff a whole lot more complicated and we're watching our chihuahua grand-dog next week. Then hubby goes on a trip for 6 days. Lord help me. It's always something. Juro spiders are in full bloom too. Geez, nature. I really feel for this poor fox, but I can't have him kill my dogs.

That's all from here this morning. Lots to do and I need to get moving. Have a good one. Later gators.
