-he is asleep. he literally sat down and washed his tummy like a kitty cat and then tucked his nose into his tail and fell asleep. he is sleeping like a little angel on my laundry shelf
-the room he is in has a door to the outside but there's no way to close the room off from the rest of the house
-animal control opens 8am monday. for out of hours emergencies it says to call the cops. I'm not calling the cops on a sleepy raccoon
-I am also very sleepy
Okay I made a little trail of pieces of bread leading along the shelf and onto the water heater and onto a chair next to the water heater and across the floor and out the door and turned off the lights and made myself a nice cup of cocoa and waited and waited and waited and waited and FINALLY he peaceably ate his way out the door. sadly in my excitement I knocked over my nice cup of cocoa all over the floor but at least now there's no raccoon in my house so 🎉
it's always "don't repeat the cycle" and "beware of the cycle" and never How was the cycle was it fun to be in the cycle
happy monk your socks off monday
i have been summoned by the sock monkey to defend the glory of my shitty hometown.
we were known for 2 things: 1) an all girl softball team that had a movie i never saw and 2) being the supposed birthplace of the sock monkey. (i say supposed bc it was just like the manufacturing place for the socks, and then there was apparently some big patent fuss bla bla here's 46 pages of sock monkey history) edit oh yeah i forgot we also have cheap trick.
the internet says we have a sock monkey festival which we may very well have had, but I don't remember it, and I used to volunteer for the museum that hosts it. so maybe it's new?
anyway my point is that we had giant plexiglass sock monkeys all over town, and also an entire wing of our local history museum dedicated to sock monkeys. (the rockford peaches also got a section in the museum.)
i am attaching photos of our giant plexiglass sock monkeys below, sourced from the historical society
i have to compulsively bring this up because i have not been to my hometown since like 2015, so the way sock monkeys are not socially or historically prominent anymore has been a culture shock. thank you
You would think that the biggest risk of trying out something new is that you won't like it, but it's when it's so good it raises your standards where the real problems start
