I think I’m making it too easy on ole’ Brad the hummingbird. He brings his entire family to dine at the feeder and they spend most of the day — every day — hanging out there. They consume about 3 cups of liquid from the feeder every other day! That’s a lot for things so darned small.
I have mosquito bites… multiple itching bumps.
Hummingbirds eat insects. They feed on wasps, flies, ants, gnats, and MOSQUITOS! But not here, obviously. If they were doing their job, I wouldn’t have gotten eaten alive while weed eating the ditch.
Brad, if you’re reading this — you must get some protein in your diet. Sure, carbs give you energy but it isn’t healthy if that’s all you consume.
Today is weigh-in day. Oh my!
I’m typing this too early to share results from the diet trio’s one month weigh in, and I’m not feeling confident that I’ll be the biggest loser this week. I need to get a couple more bodies added to the “fat girls” group so my chances of winning will be higher. These 2 girls were the only ones I could think of that might join — and they want no part of it.
Today is also HVAC repair day.
Repair dudes are coming today to install the ordered parts in a last attempt to revive my mini-split units. By late afternoon, I’ll either be extremely happy… or I’ll be devastated and worrying about the next course of action. I hope it’s not the latter. We started this process on April 11th and have limped through long enough.
It’s true that summer isn’t going to be around a whole lot longer, but the mini splits are also great to warm up the house on cool mornings before we fire up Chester, the wood boiler. Not gonna lie…I miss him. I got used to the scalding hot water he produced and I’m not sure how many more times I can crank up the temp of the hot water heater.
Brain food for the day: The meerkat is the world’s most murderous mammal with 20% of all meerkats being violently killed by another meerkat, most commonly their mother, sister, or aunt.
