well

after nine days off, and spending as much time ask i could with matt, i’m back to work.
we weren’t able to water seal the coop, mostly because it was too hot to do anything; but also because we spent a lot of the week making sure the chickens weren’t melting. everyone survived, and we found out that they’re startled by sudden bursts of water.
we’re almost registered with the city for them. i just need to fill out some poorly designed form (seriously, why does everything have to look like a 1040a?) and mail them $10. i went back and forth on whether or not to register; mostly because “why?”, but i hope that if the city has record of how many chicken owners there are, they’ll take notice of the interest and possibly be more willing to change policy in the future. as in, who decided that four was an appropriate maximum? why not eight?
it’s hard to believe that it’s already the 10th of july; the first of the year feels like forever ago.
i think i need a change of something.
