Shadow and then Jackie visited the nest just after sunset. It seemed they may be bidding farewell to their eggs after a very long post-viability period. They ended the evening roosting together and in song. Both a heartbreaking and heartwarming  process that we are grateful to have been able to observe.

1.6 inches in rain gauge.

Ugg, I dropped my laptop sideways on my big toe last night...my thermos of water in other hand slipped and dropped. In attempting to catch thermos, laptop fell out of other hand.

Can't really walk with that foot without pain...am mulling over whether or not I can take Ollie to his vet for his toe nail clip and purchasing his flea and tic meds later this morning.
Ice and heat and maybe a call to ask they help me get him out of the car and into a room quickly.
After all, they did that with Covid restrictions, sans human going inside.

Or else I'll just re-schedule, LOL...amazing how 3 pounds landing perfectly on a toe can hurt/swell.

[tsk34]

We did have some rain and distant thunder last night.  Gauge reports 0.6"

So at 2:46 AM I'm awakened to a symphony of bird songs!!!  Not even the hint of daylight yet.

PHYL   Good that Jim finally has a pulmonologist appt.  You didn't need phone issues to add to that     Loved that Mexican/ art piece this AM.  I like colorful things  LOL    How sweet - that little fawn struggling with first steps. 365      "Hysterical strength" Great term.      Pretty dreary on the Flyway today.  Jackie/Shadow  :'(

KAREN   Wonder how CLYNN fared?

LORI  Sure hope your advice helps PHYL   WOW  Reading on, you were able to help PHYL   

LANI   Ohio to Baltimore to New Orleans  YIKES  HUGS to Mike.  Tim did a ton of traveling early in our dating and marriage.  When he quit Zenith to get into the printing brokerage business all that stopped.  He was relieved.  Sure hope that eye on retirement keeps Mkle going. 

KB  LOLOLOLOLOL   That was hysterical a true laugh out loud for me.    You got a nice rainfall     Funny you should mention the injury to your toe. OUCH   SIL Barb in Fl dropped a table on the top of her foot while cleaning the other day.  Boy the pic looked awful.  I said to ice ( which she had started) and wrap figure 8 in Ace bandage.  Amazingly she had no pain  .  Went to get xrays anyway and she was OK...

some bounce

Ouch!  Hugs all

Off to the pool...

[karengramke]

Good Morning Tsk and all!   I do not know what the weather was like in Albion yesterday but looks great today!  Clynn is about as far from Springfield as you are so  perhaps  not in as much wind!    Showers tomorrow .  Looks like a cloudy day there Saturday for her return trip!   I thought we might hear from her since Erin fixed her mothers computer  speed.   Hope all is well there and in DesMoines with Ed, Kelsey and the kitties!

Phyll, good luck to Jim today!  Did he get an appointment  with the cardiologist?
Good job Lori!
Thanks for all the nest reports!  Hope all do well!  Mrs. t seems better!
High  of 84 today.  Flood alert until 2 pm!  Later
Aha!  While I was getting ready for the housekeeper, there was Clynn!   Have a great lunch!

📺 SLOTH TV
🦥Sloth Preschool Update:

JJ, two-fingered sloth: JJ is stable and gaining weight; soon to be entering Sloth Elementary!
Beanie, two-fingered sloth: Beanie’s hind limb mobility remains limited, so we continue to provide her with regular physical therapy, including acupuncture treatments. She is otherwise stable.
Fiesta, two-fingered sloth: Fiesta’s umbilical cord wound has almost completely healed, so we have removed her bandage, (which she has been very pleased about). She continues regular nebulization treatments to address her ongoing lung issues but has been doing well.
Bruno, two-fingered sloth: Bruno is eating better and gaining weight, but still has a reserved prognosis.
Tulip, two-fingered sloth: Tulip is officially spending nights outside the incubator with the other babies! She has had some loose stool but otherwise appears stable.
Nevada, two-fingered sloth: Little Nevada is steadily gaining weight, but is still spending nights in the incubator. She has developed wounds on both hind limbs, which we are cleaning with antibiotics daily.
Rose, two-fingered sloth: Rose has been having some mild digestive issues, so we are providing her with transfaunation. Otherwise stable.

NEW ARRIVAL
Pixie, two-fingered sloth: Premature Pixie was found alone in the Limón Province of Costa Rica. Appropriately named, she currently weighs 244 grams, making her the most miniature baby sloth we have ever had in our care. She is receiving nebulization treatments to address some breathing issues and to help open up her nostrils. Though she is eating well, due to how underdeveloped she is, she has a reserved prognosis at this time.

🌳Sloth Elementary / High School Update:
GRADUATE:

Mimi, two-fingered sloth: Welcome our newest graduate to Sloth Elementary! Mimi’s disability doesn’t slow her down one bit. She is eating lots of leaves and is incredibly active.
Moose, two-fingered sloth: Moose spends most of his time on the play structure, practicing his climbing skills and napping in the hammock with his buddy Grover. He has a great appetite and is the strongest of the group.
Grover, two-fingered sloth: We are pleased to report that Grover has completely recovered from anemia. He is incredibly active and has a healthy appetite. 

Continues recovery:

Phoenix, two-fingered sloth: Phoenix is gradually becoming weaned off smoothie. He has a healthy appetite and has been eating many leaves in his outdoor enclosure.
Binx, two-fingered sloth: Binx is doing much better adapting to an outdoor enclosure and starting to eat more leaves. Stable and growing well.
Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Stable and gaining weight. Elmo is doing better in an outdoor enclosure but still has an attachment to its caregivers. We are working on it!

NEW ARRIVAL:

Natalia, Three-fingered sloth: Natalia was found alone in La Virgen, Costa Rica after her mother abandoned her. Despite this, she arrived alert and responsive without any apparent injuries. She is currently at a healthy weight and remains active, spending much of her day in the trees of the Sloth TV Playground. She is almost ready to head to the Release Site to continue her rehabilitation process.
Marina, three-fingered sloth: Marina was found in the Limón Province of Costa Rica, dehydrated and alone on the ground. We have been providing her with fluids and monitoring her carefully. She spends most of her days in the trees on the Sloth TV Playground. She is almost ready to head to the Release Site to continue her rehabilitation process.


🎓Sloth University Update:

Coco, two-fingered sloth: We are relieved to report that Coco is once again stable. She has spent the past few weeks in the clinic gaining back all the weight she lost and is nearly ready to give it another go!
Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax is ready for release! He will return to his wild home sometime this week, and we are so excited to see how he thrives!
Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Antonio is set to be released sometime this week! He is doing great in the largest of our pre-release enclosures and has surpassed Pax in weight!
Myrtle, two-fingered sloth: Myrtle has reached a stagnant point in her release process. She is showing signs of anemia, and we are closely monitoring her condition at this time. We are hopeful that she will make a full recovery with a little extra TLC.
Spike, two-fingered sloth: Spike is stable and eating well once more. He is growing stronger every day.
Ken, two-fingered sloth: Ken remains active and has been eating well. He is progressing steadily.
Roo, two-fingered sloth: Roo is stable and progressing well through rehabilitation.

Jim has his 1st appt w/pulmonologist tomorrow PM.  Samsung decided that my iPhone's OS was obsolete and  this AM when I booted my phone up...it went straight to 'download to target'. This has been in progress since 9am. I don't think this will every stop. The print on the screen is so small I just cant' read it even w/ glasses...seems, I think, the key s are 'locked'.          I want to go to the ATT store and see what the fellas there can do.  I:m without a phone period. Jim has too much going on ...my neck has been 'seizing up' and difficult to drive much on my own.     Hopefully there's time tomorrow to see ATT.

Phyl, Hi there you can power down your phone and power back up, this should fix it.  You are in a diagnostic download screen for technicians.  If it won't power off, press and hold Volume Down and the Power or Side button for about 7 seconds until it restarts.  I hope that fixes it Good luck to Jim tomorrow and I hope all is well with little Maggie and you!  Feel better soon!  Lori

Dear ((Lori)),
thanks for hearing my plea.   
So that's what the fine print was saying! 
I got it restarted and then shut it down to charge at night.
 
Everything booted just fine this AM
 

HOORAY to Lori!

Just as simple as she said - Made for a good feeling for you this morning Phyl - I'm sure.   

She deserves one of those special hugs I talk about.   (((Lori)))

Home again, home again, jiggity jig!..My New Orleans assistant taught me this saying decades ago.

Lisa: is this a thing in the South?.

My vet accommodated me big time...Ollie got his toes done and first flea and tic in him. What a good boy!

Now, my opposite side hip/femur hurt....that's normal when accommodating in gait for pain....

Heading for a nappy poo as didn't sleep well last night.

Puff - agree 100 percent

That is part of a nursery rhyme that was in one of my childhood nursery rhymes books when I was growing up... very familiar with it. Glad all went well with the vet visit.
