2009_02_09 Monday

Oh gesh. Here we are a solid week since I've managed to post! where does the time go!? Oma was here for four wonderful days. Dave was in Maine for a couple of those on work, so that made her visit that much better. I had a nail pulled out of my front tire and plugged. exciting. Our interior decorator came by on Thursday to give me guidance on what to do next. I've got a massive To-Do list going now, and we'll chip away at it little by little. On Saturday, I took the cats to get their rabies shots. The town offers it for free, so I thought I better jump on that. I'm planning on walking the forms to town hall today since it's beautiful out. Maybe we'll stop by the zoo afterward.

We are nearly certain that we have a raccoon squatting in between our first and second floors in the front of the house. After listening to YouTube, we're pretty sure it's not a squirrel. So, after getting three quotes from exterminators, who also couldn't identify the animal, we went to Home Depot and got a trap. I also talked to the city Animal Control Officer, who basically said that if it is a squirrel, to drive it to our local forest and let him go. If it's a raccoon, he'll come and pick it up (b/c of rabies risk). We went to dinner in town with Dave's buddy Sferra, who is in town for work, and his family. That was really nice. Then, the men set the trap last night, but nothing caught this morning. So, that's a ton of fun.
