That sucks :(
But congratulation on the raise! Thought I would be a little paranoid of some cruel April fools joke >->
Insomnia sucks I get it a lot too :( sometimes when I drink hot milk with cinnamon and honey before bed it helps but not always. But at least its tasty if it does not work :P

lol raccoon likes you, wants to hang out :P
At least you have fireflies! I rarely ever see them anymore since all the mosquito spraying trucks has killed them off better than the actual mosquitos :(

Awesome that the room has been fixed! Sadly not going to be at MFM thought.

Thank you. And god alone probably knows what that raccoon is thinking.

It's my fault. You're obviously so excited about meeting me soon it's affecting your sleeps. I sorry :3

hehehehe. You come to my house and I'll sic the raccoons on you. :)

All of them!?

All the ones that I have influence over. :)

woo sounds like one roller coaster of a week. Sadly im not sure I will make MFM this year due to work.

Sorry to hear that. I'm trying to figure out if I cna squeeze a second con into this year as I missed TFF. But MFM may be it this year.

I have been wanting to get to TFF for a long time but never have. FWA is my only planned con this year

That raccoon just won't take a hint will it?
Congrats on the raise though!

thanks!

Do it!

Did I tell you what I was thinking? I don't remember.

I don't think you have. We've just discussed the commissions.

We're calling it "Lost in Translation: A Furry Gameshow Experience" The ideas is pick two or three people from the audience. and Ala Price is Right, have them Come on down where they are the next contestant! And then we offer categories of famous sayings, movie titles, quotes, or pretty much anything we can think of that is fed through Google Translate. Their job is to correctly translate the saying to its original form. Each phrase comes with 3 to 5 points to start with. If they get it right off the bat, they get the maximum points, but they can 'spend' a point to get a clue that will help solve the translation. If they are unable to translate, it is automatically passed to the next contestant who gets a chance to solve it for maximum points along with any clues already having been given for free. When A contestant earns a set number of points, say 10 to 15... they 'win'. Where they get a prize from a box of stuff I plan to bring and then get returned to the audience. And we bring up the next contestant to replace them. And yet the scores do not reset. The new player starts at zero still and the others continue their own personal struggle to get their points in the hopes that they will obtain the score needed so they can get a silly prize and their FREEDOM.

What do you think?

I like that! Definitely something to be played in the auditorium too.

Bah, down fridge, that is no fun. Thankfully, the raise will help pay for that. Raises on 4/1 multiple times, that is pretty strange, eh? At least now you know when to go bug the boss for a raise now.

I'd not be surprised if it is indeed that same coon from months back. Sounds like a bond happened there, or at least animals are seeing you as a friendly, especially in a such a close-quarters neighborhood where likely many treat animals as pest to be harmed or killed. Perhaps you should spend more time out back and try to commune with the fellow? Now that the weather's getting nicer, not a bad idea. Perhaps if you spend some time out there, there won't be such a deal with trying to get in to get to you, hehe.

Pretty cool, though... animal encounters are a neat thing.

Actually I am pretty sure it is the same raccoon. He seems to have a connection/fondness for me in that he comes out when I am alone and may come to investigate when I am with others but won't come closer. But it's not like I do anything for him. I don't feed him or pet him. But I guess maybe he senses my mood or attitude and knows I'm not a threat.

Seems he wishes more a friendship. Perhaps he comes around hoping to see more of you? That is rather a neat thing, though. If animals come to you for a reason beside food, then it is more of that unconditional love. That is really neat, Wielder. Eventually one day he may come on up to you, you never know.
