May Day!

I'm pretty sure I got a camera ticket yesterday. I harbor an unbelievable hatred for those things, because I don't even speed and yet I can't stop on a dime if the light turns yellow just as I drive up to it, but I also can't cross the intersection before it turns red and the camera snaps a picture! I don't understand how this is at all safe.

I've made the decision to look in to finding Spooky and Trixie a new home, because I believe that keeping up with three ferrets and a baby will be too much for me. Trixie and Spook are very closely bonded, so they need to go to the same home; I'll keep Orbit because he's nearly seven years old and he's much more attached to me than the younger ferrets. I'll miss my ferrets and I'll always worry about them, but I've got to take this step if I can find them a good, loving home where they'll get plenty of affection, play time, and, if they need it, gentle discipline.

Between the ticket, the ferrets, my lack of a washer and dryer, the fact that Carl is going to be working yet another ten hour day, and my wacky pregnancy emotions, I'm having a pretty rough Beltane. After our handyman comes by to finish the plumbing where he uninstalled the garbage disposal, I'll try to get outside to plant my amaryllis bulbs and some of my zinnia seeds.
