Tuesday night.
Since this is a residential neighborhood, I catch the bus to get to work right by a house with birdfeeders on the front lawn that's also a block away from one of the city's larger parks. I tend to keep an eye on the feeders since it's always a treat to see sparrows eating upside-down and every so often I'm lucky enough to see a goldfinch. This morning I got luckier than I've ever been: there was a tiny rabbit underneath the feeder, munching at the grass at ten o'clock in the morning. It was small by Eastern Cottontail standards, so it must have been a juvenile out exploring on its own, and it kept munching as cars drove by, I got out my camera and took pictures, and the bus pulled up and took me off to work. Urban rabbits are always a treat, especially when they're that surprising.
Work was much better today - I came in later, so I stayed in later, so I was there after most of the other people left, which meant I got some relative quiet time. I'll be taking Thursday off since it's the busiest day of the week, and since I know I ought to make an effort at being an adult I'm not going to the zoo after all. Instead, campus looms, and with it a chance to catch up on job hunting and unanswered e-mails. The zoo can wait until next Tuesday.
Also, I should post that recipe for blueberry-walnut bread, since it came out absolutely fantastic.
