Re Edward: we are letting him out during the day. Christine caught sight of a raccoon on our roof last week at dusk. We suspect that it's a raccoon that's bit him twice on the rump, and Christine surmises that if we bring Edward in before the raccoons are likely to be roaming, we will be fine.
This means we have to fix the screen doors asap, because the lack of air conditioning is acceptable when we can bring in cool night air. (Edward broke the doors down late last summer, but they hadn't been in good shape. Like all the other doors in the apartment where hinges have had springs break through plastic or guides have broken, our years in this apartment seem to coincide with the end of life of many of the moving parts. I keep thinking it's me.) While i believe i could do a tolerable job fixing the sliding screen doors, we're going to throw money at the issue and have someone install very nice doors that also include a lockable pet door.

My brain has been useless since taking the Birkman thing. I'm wondering about allergens, procrastination, a drop in vitamin D (which i haven't taken for days).
Probably partly just delayed reaction to the stress of being away: suddenly there is no pressure except a deadline that has already been FUBARed.
