Eva’s Friends

For my part, the sheriff's office I applied to back in January finally did give me a conditional job offer! It's the first I've ever gotten from anywhere. It's exciting, but I'm less than thrilled about the location.

Congratulations! Maybe you can get relocated some point in the future?

I understand not remembering what happened if you don't write it down fairly soon. I try to write in my journal every day before the memories or facts escape from my head.

Anything more on the job offer? Location is important, but maybe you could transfer elsewhere after you get some experience, as @lightm suggested? One of my friends just took a job in Illinois with a company that has locations throughout the Midwest. He's hoping to transfer to Iowa after a year.

Eva's expression in the photo says it all, doesn't it? Annie looks quite comfy in the bed, and isn't it nice that she's trying to help you with that wooden block? My Speckled Sussex, Bronwyn, likes to help me every chance she gets. She is especially talented at scratching and digging into piles of stuff I have just scooped, scattering poop and litter all over the coop floor again. And, she'll gladly help in others' coops, too, not just her own.

How's you weather? It's been a steam bath here for days. Even if when it's only in the high 70s, the humidity has been above 90 percent so the air is thick, sticky and unpleasant. My riding mower is out of commission, so I've been trying to mow with the much-smaller walk-behind mower. But I have to wait until the grass is dry enough, which is, of course, the hottest part of the day.

Luckily, the mower is battery operated, and by the time the batteries are worn down, so am I. It's taken me two days to do the large part of the north lawn, and I think there's still 3 days to go. By the time I finish, I will need to start all over again!
